According to Gartner, 431 million smartphones were sold in the final quarter of 2016 and that only 207,900 of those devices were BlackBerry handsets running the company’s own BB10 operating system. This means that BlackBerry’s market share is even less than a single decimal percentage point, if you really want to go into the specifics, it’s 0.0482 percent.

I think the quick growth of iPhone and Android marketshare made Blackberry has a 0% marketshare.

I wonder who in the 0.0482% still use a Blackberry except for government, and a few businesses which are still using Blackberry.

Blackberry 10 is also not very active, so people who owned a Blackberry probably moved onto iPhone, Android phones, or Blackberry Android phones like the Blackberry Priv, Dtek50, and Dtek60 which run Google Android as its operating system, and comes with Security and Privacy protection apps, and services for the Priv, and Dtek phones.

The 0% marketshare is for Blackberry's Blackberry 10 Mobile Operating System which is not actively being supported by Blackberry anymore sort of like how Microsoft no longer supports Windows XP and the original Xbox which got release a long time ago.

The 0% does not include Blackberry's Google Android smartphones like the Blackberry Priv Android phone, and the newer DTEK50 and DTEK60 which are both made by TCL for Blackberry, and run Google Android. Now that Samsung Galaxy Note 7 brand is ruined by the recent battery fires and explosions for the Note 7, companies like Blackberry Google Android Phones, LG and Apple iPhone can get more buyers from angry Note 7 buyers who had their phone catch on fire and exploded in their hands.

Blackberry Stock is still worth $7-8 according to BlackBerry Limited Common Stock (BBRY) Real-Time Stock Quote - NASDAQ.com . I think $7-8 is not cheap since in some places you have to work almost 1 hour to earn $7-8.

In a way, it can be good that Blackberry OS has a low marketshare since Blackberry no longer have to actively support and release as many software updates for aging smartphones like the Blackberry Classic and Passport if almost no one is using older Blackberry phones. Technical support like Phone and E-mail tech support, and creating updates can use up a lot of time and money if you need to hire a lot of workers to create updates for aging operating systems like Blackberry 10 OS. Most Phone Buyers won't pay for updates and complain if companies sell updates for aging operating systems.

Blackberry may want people to forget about Blackberry 10, and buy Blackberry's Android phones like the DTEK50, DTEK60, and Priv which are Blackberry's newest phones, and use their apps like BBM messaging and Blackberry server.

Blackberry is now a security and privacy software company.

Blackberry also has Blackberry Messenger which is a secure messaging app, and Blackberry server which is a server software for secure messaging.

Some governments, big companies, and privacy concerned people still use Blackberry software which is available on Android, iPhone, and Blackberry phones.

Blackberry does not make new phones anymore. TCL make Blackberry Google Android Smartphones like the Blackberry Android Dtek50 and Dtek60.

If TCL can make a few good Blackberry Google Android smartphones for Blackberry, both TCL and Blackberry stock may rise.

Hopefully BlackBerry are able to refocus and find success under their new business model, things look rather rough for them though.
