BLACKBERRY has announced a touch-screen phone without physical keys, at the Mobile World Congress trade show.
The Blackberry Leap is not the company’s first all-touch phone —but it may come as a surprise, since its chief executive said last March his focus was going to be “very keyboard-centric”. The Canadian company has also revealed it is bringing more of its software to rival platforms. Sales of Blackberry phones are falling.
The company shipped 7.9 million devices last year, according to research firm Gartner.
That was a big drop on 2013’s figure of 18.6 million units.
