Background information, from Jakarta Globe:

Indonesia’s Lasting Love for Mobile Phones | The Jakarta Globe

The dawn of mobile connectivity that offered Internet access also brought the ascension of smartphones in Indonesian culture.

“As for the smartphone revolution, the answer is pretty easy: it was BlackBerry that kick-started the entire thing,” Aulia said. “The BlackBerry was the status symbol for the haves, never mind that they could only use it for voice calls and SMS due to the non-existence of BlackBerry data plans.”

BlackBerry, once a giant in the smartphone industry, has fallen on hard times as CEOs have departed and profits fall. After years of neglecting its overwhelming popularity in Indonesia, to the point where the Indonesian government threatened to levy sanctions after an outage that left Indonesian BlackBerry Messenger users fuming in 2013, Blackberry is looking to capitalize on its South Asian popularity.

The Jakarta, as it’s been nicknamed, officially the Z3, is the first ever smartphone targeted at the Indonesian market by a major mobile phone maker. Retailing at Rp 2.2 million ($185), the Jakarta phone is hoping to undercut the competition while capitalizing on its strong brand to help BlackBerry get back in the black. “It’s a last-ditch effort for BlackBerry,” Hemming said.

In laser-lit clubs where young Indonesians flock to flaunt their wealth, like the glitzy Dragonfly club in Jakarta, the gold-tinged iPhone 5S is the ultimate status symbol. The latest and greatest model of the iPhone costs more than twice the average monthly office worker’s salary.

“In the past a young adult starting to smoke was a symbol of adulthood; now owning a smartphone is more of a symbol than smoking,” Hemming said. “People will go to great lengths to get the latest and greatest smartphones, they make sacrifices in terms of clothing, cigarettes and transportation.”

Indonesians have even christened the smartphone phenomenon with it’s own slang: gengsi , a word that describes someone who needs to own the latest gadget at all costs and be able to flaunt it.

And this, which was news to me:

Jakarta is the world capital of Twitter — no other city is more active on the social media platform. The nation’s capital makes up 2.4 percent of Twitter’s entire traffic.

According to the statement it's facility and employees. Neither were part of QNX:

The facts are that employees and R&D assets involved in this agreement have only ever supported BlackBerry product efforts. BlackBerry did not issue any communications about QNX involvement in this transaction – as they are not involved.

Ladies and Gentlemen we are approaching the last hour of today's entertainment.
So, I have to ask. Let me hear it if you guys had fun today. Likes = YES..
Oh but don't worry, we have after hours too..

[tatail]

Sell now or wait? hmmm

I would say wait, what happened today was a lot of credit was given to MOBL for BlackBerry's stock rise.
That means all the BlackBerry good news have not reached the masses.. Hold on till tomorrow when market is green and watch this bad boy bring you green grass..

I definitely wanna add more to what I already have, sometime soon, very soon.

Exciting times for BlackBerry ahead, I must say. The market perception is turning (public perception still needs work), devices are coming soon, 10.3 and 10.3.1 shall be fantastic, the health care market is ripe for BlackBerry to take on.

[Superfly_FR]

This one is for future reference. The day we saw the light, again.
Keep climbing, Babe.

The underwriters are the ones responsible for getting the initial float out. They are publicity machines.

I am expecting lots of organized bashing of passport in the very near future. it might even have started. the good thing is that blackberry makes "many different kinds" of phones so the argument of bashing passport, cause it is bad/ugly phone, hence blackberry will go out of business doesn't hold water. the funny thing is that these bashers haven't even used or seen the phone but yet they are giving guarantees that this phone will make blackberry go out of business is priceless.
I know that I am going to buy passport as soon as it is available.

Anyone notice how the naysayers have just disappeared? Seems odd.
