      I think that is just a mock up. The keyboard layout is way different from the Titan 2, so I am unsure if the image of the elite is final design.

        Very likely you are right, but I’d give my left arm for modern version of blackberry (with Bb keyboard)

      I’m fascinated by the accusation (guess?) that the Titan 2 Elite and the Communicator share a platform from some common manufacturer. They have the same screen (just to eyeball it; I have not checked the specs to compare so please don’t flame me if I’m wrong) and they both have the top-left punch-out camera. They both look slick as hell and if I was in need of a phone right now I bet I could have a good time with either one, but between them I’ve definitely got a little more brand loyalty for Clicks since I’ve enjoyed their QWERTY experience more, and I also think their launcher looks slick as shit. But I’ve always wanted to love the Unihertz phones I’ve bought and my heart is always open to them finally nailing it one day. If they were built on the same platform and they both turned out to be…ya know, pretty good…I think the world would be in a great place (at least as far as QWERTY resurgence is concerned).

        It’s more common than people realise within the phone industry. The Titan 2 is using old Blackberry Passport displays and the new iKKO Mind One is using a display that is seen on some handheld retro gaming devices. Fairphone has historically used a lot of generic parts too. These smaller companies generally don’t have the money or power to get everything custom designed, and re-using existing parts ensures long-term stock availability.
