Did Chen deserve to be a CEO
- I do not agree that BlackBerry has not brought good products to the market, the PP is an incredible device and outstanding and different from all and everything on the market - this was a very good and courageous step, but more need to follow and while building the security platforms and sw-business continue making such devices ' slider and update or classic 2
The PP keyboard is revolutionary, no body has brought this type of innovation to the market since years!!!

Bb10 should warn users when the battery is decreasing by more than 10% an hour and offer options to avoid it. Either by postponing tasks or even telling the user to turn down the brightness or stop using apps.

So no matter how great or technologically advanced you think those devices are, majority of people buying smartphones do not agree with your view of the Passport.

That's marketing of course and the people being buying what they're used to, it's a hard way back into that lost market and the carriers selling phones at least in Switzerland mostly have no idea that there is a new OS and what the new OS is and can...

The only two Companies making money on Hardware are Apple with 92% and Samsung with 15% ( yes more than 100% do to negative profit) . But Chen hasn't given up yet, even though they are making a loss on it, just to save what's left of their image and sell Software.

At least continue the Z30 evolution with Z40/Z50 etc.,
Posted via CB1009-14-15 09:12 AMLike 0 - The way into the market was once said would have been a cost of 80 million $ for webOS...
I guess BlackBerry has a lesser steep way back and if Chen is playing it well and not doing what Leo Apotheker at HP did right after aquring webOS; focusing only on SW; he might be the knight to make it right - I would say, let's have a ball game and give it a chance...
It's gona cost a lot but we're rolling up from behind packed with great features and knowlede into a market, where security and privacy is becoming more and more important to customers...
Just don't let the hardware go downhill and keep OS 10 going further with or without droid and bits and pieces can be fought back again...
Me thinks and hopes

So yes BB10 has the ability to kill apps. Quite easily accessible though swiping down and going into device monitor.

Their database drives many retail point of sale and accounting systems for SMBs and larger hospitality systems. Quickbooks, Micros, etc. All use Sybase. Lots more. Though they are now owned by SAP. Their technology is widely used in specific verticals even if they did not go on to make billions.

He accepted the job and NO MATTER what the outcome is, he is going to be a winer. If BlackBerry sinks, nobody would blame him for that, "BlackBerry was sunken already", on the other hand, if BlackBerry raises, everybody is going to claim he is a hero. Very well played.

09-15-15 10:42 AMLike 0 - There is an interview with Chen just before the SAP deal closed where he admits to just keep the existing business running, while trying to find the next big thing. They latched onto a vague idea, and lucked into something that fit it with a group that he was about to lay off. Just Google it. Great read, but scary at the same time.

I will find that interview. Ok.
But re-living the smartphone glory days was likely never in the cards. Coming into BB, Chen's role was to find something else for BlackBerry to do from the start. But to also continue the handset business as long as is possible in case it leads somewhere, and helps them sell their other tech, etc. Once you close and lose the device expertise it must be pretty hard to ramp it up again. In the end, what we might see is nothing but BlackBerry 10 handsets, being sold into highly secure environments, as part of BES deals.09-15-15 02:00 PMLike 0 - Prem WatsAppCrackBerry Jester of JestersYes!
Niche, but niche with potential backlog demand, potential for (re-)expansion and old-time reminiscences, once the app problem is fixed. Let's see how that slider will do...
Definitely a differentiator device.

Regardless of any other claim or theory... this fact alone insured the Passport had zero chance of success.
