    BLACKBERRY Ltd's new Android phone hitting the market this week could be the company's last attempt at making its devices profitable before ending production.

    The Canadian company has unveiled several new phones in the two years since chief executive officer John Chen took over, but none has managed to stop hardware sales from falling. Mr Chen has repeatedly said he will exit the device business if he can't make it profitable.
