Update 1: Over 500k #BringBackBlackBerry Supporters and Growing
And we're just getting started... this October we officially begin the movement!
Hello Friend,
It’s been a wild ride these past few months since I first published the Bring Back BlackBerry manifesto.
Every day since I’ve been waking up to emails and DMs from BlackBerry fans, shareholders, industry veterans, investors and more, all eager to support our mission to bring a modern BlackBerry mobile solution to market.
The petition signups continue to climb daily and over 500,000 supporters are now following the @bringbackblackberry movement across Instagram, Facebook, and the petition/newsletter combined. It’s surreal. And it’s growing.
Today I’m excited to share we relaunched BringBackBlackBerry.com and are providing more context on what we’re aiming to accomplish — the why and how of it all, along with more info on how you can support the effort.
👉 Read our Mission Page to see what we’re building.
👉 Visit the Support Page to learn how you can amplify the movement.
👉 Visit the Projects Page to discover BlackBerry-esque products available now.
👉 Stay tuned for our BBBB monthly podcast and upcoming merch store.
For those who signed the petition with their email address, we will begin sending out updates via email (never more than two per month). You can also find the latest updates right here on BringBackBlackBerry.com. We’re using the Substack Platform for managing these posts and emails.
#BringBackBlackBerry Launch Event!
To mark the beginning of this movement, we’ll be hosting a Bring Back BlackBerry Launch & QWERTY Meetup on Wednesday, October 8th in Brooklyn, NY.
Visit the BBBB Event Page for full details and to RSVP. Those in attendance will also have a chance to get an early look at the latest QWERTY devices coming to market later this year (hit up this podcast interview for a deep dive on CBK’s recent trip to China where he came back with many QWERTY devices and many thoughts!).
#Spread the Word and Let’s Make It Happen!
Together, we’re working toward our first big goal: one million petition signups.
And beyond that, a major milestone we’re aiming for is getting CrackBerry Kevin elected to the BlackBerry Board of Directors in 2026 — so the voice of this community has a seat at the table.
We’re glad you’re with us. Together, we can make enough noise that BlackBerry can’t ignore.
Don’t Stop BBelieving,
- CBK
