[lordi]

Jika masih ada diantara pembaca yang memakai HP berbasis Blackberry 10, BB store atau yang dikenal sebagai Blackberry World akan segera menghilang.
Blackberry secara resmi menyatakan bahwa app store akan ditutup pada 31 Desember 2019, sebelum itu BlackBerry Travel akan dihapus pada Februari 2018 dan servis video calling Playbook akan berakhir pada Maret 2018.
Pengumuman ini tidak terlalu mengejutkan karena Blackberry sudah menghentikan produksi HP berbasis BB10 sejak 2015.
Rencananya bagi para pengguna HP dengan BBOS akan mendapatkan diskon untuk upgrade ke BB KeyOne atau Motion.

For those of you still using a BlackBerry 10 or BlackBerry OS device, the BlackBerry app store is going away, but not for another two years.

BlackBerry will shutter its BlackBerry World app store on Dec. 31, 2019. Before that, the BlackBerry Travel site will go away in February 2018 and the company's Playbook video-calling service will end in March 2018.


The impending shutdowns aren't too much of a shocker, considering BlackBerry hasn't manufactured a BB10 or BSOS device since 2015.

BlackBerry is working with partners to offer a "trade-up program" that will give BB10 or BBOS device owners a "significant discount" when upgrading to a new BlackBerry KeyOne or Motion, both of which run Google's Android operating system.

"Customers who upgrade to a new KeyOne or Motion won't miss a beat as they'll have immediate access to the rich universe of apps in the Google Play store without compromising on either security or their desire for a physical keyboard," the company wrote on its Inside BlackBerry blog.

BlackBerry said to "stay tuned" for more information about the trade-up program.

At this point, "millions" of people are still using BB10 and BBOS devices, BlackBerry said. Many of those devices are more than a decade old, the company added, calling that a "testament to the durability of our designs and brand loyalty."
