> We still have people buying Blackberries on their own. There are plenty of people who want a phone that's good for work.
This article[1] seems to run counter to your intuition:
> In the fourth quarter of 2016, more than 432 million smartphones were sold, according to a report published on Wednesday by the research firm Gartner. Of those, just 207,900 were BlackBerry devices running its own operating system.
> That gives the Canadian smartphone company a share of the overall phone market of less than a single percentage point. To be precise, it's 0.0481%.
> Even when you include BlackBerry's devices running Android, its numbers are still incredibly low. Last year, CEO John Chen said the company sold only about 400,000 devices in the second quarter.
Blackberry's market share is much nearer my own (i.e. 0 phones manufactured or sold) than it is Apple's or Google's.
