BlackBerry to launch its first Foxconn produced smartphone at MWC

BlackBerry is preparing to launch some new smartphones at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next month, smartphones that are being manufactured with its new partner, Foxconn.

The Foxconn-produced BlackBerry smartphones will debut at MWC 2014, but we don't know what to expect. The struggling Canadian handset maker is going through rough times, but signed a new deal with Foxconn to produce devices aimed at emerging markets. The first Foxconn-produced smartphone will feature a touchscreen, but we should expect other models with physical keyboards, too.
