Best Buy Offers Holiday Sales on BlackBerrys and More

By Dena Cassella Published December 12, 2009

best_buy_logo During this time of year, we just want to give Best Buy a hug for making holiday shopping a little less stressful with its sales and deals. If you’re looking for a BlackBerry this holiday season, then you’ll probably want to hug Best Buy too. Starting this weekend, Best Buy will give the gift of “additional holiday savings” on a bunch of mobile products—especially RIM’s BlackBerry smartphones. The retailer says it has special savings on four Blackberry devices, the AT&T Xenon and the new Nokia Booklet 3G. The AT&T Xenon will be free with a two-year activation, and starting on December 13, the Intel Atom-powered Nokia Booklet 3G is getting dropped down to a price of $199.99 with an AT&T Data Connect two-year plan.

Here are Best Buy’s BlackBerry sales:

Blackberry 9700: $99.99 after $100 savings ($199.99 regular price)
Blackberry 8900: $69.99 after $80 savings ($149.99 regular price)
Blackberry 9000: $89.99 after $60 savings ($149.99 regular price)
Blackberry 8520: $29.99 after $20 savings ($49.99 regular price)

BlackBerry rises from the grave: New 5G phone with a keyboard coming in 2021

BlackBerry is the smartphone brand that steadfastly refuses to die. The presumed-dead name has been resurrected once again, this time by a new company called OnwardMobility. It will work with manufacturer FIH Mobile to create and sell a 5G BlackBerry Android phone with a physical keyboard, ready for a potential release in the U.S. and Europe during the first half of 2021.

You read that right: A new BlackBerry phone with a physical keyboard and 5G, running Google’s Android software, is coming next year. TCL Communications was the last company to produce BlackBerry smartphones. It did so under license from BlackBerry Ltd., which continues to provide mobile security services, but isn’t in the hardware business anymore. TCL let its license lapse in February 2020 when modern, Android-based BlackBerry phones became a thing of the past. Until now.
