Bidders (in the plural) is the keyword here?

Supposedly multiple suitors have met with BB and BOD is considering options from a narrow list. Sale by Nov.

EDIT: now WSJ reporting. Don't have link but G&M reporter tweeted.

I think the auction process is interesting, love to see more details on that. It wouldn't surprise me that a deal happens before ER since that could put a damper on sale price.

Man, cannot find the quote about action with multiple players...

Could end up being a bidding war. Oddly enough, there have been many here saying that there was no interest in BlackBerry and calls to find a suitor have turned up nothing. Now the rumour is that they have whittled down the list of suitors. So this current one says there a a few if they can actually have whittled the list.

More than one option is good.

Any potential bidder will have access to their financials so they won't need to wait.

If you had your choice, what would you rather own? Nokia or Blackberry?

I'm guessing many others are thinking the same thing.

That was my initial response - bidderS
Will be interesting to see how it all plays out (if true).

[kellyweng88]

as good as this sounds for the stock (I do own stock), a part of me feels a bit saddened that BB is really going to be sold. It would've been nice to be able to show the rest of the world that they could've made a comeback

[JBML007]

Fingers crossed on a Sony Partnership.

Nokia is a dead company now. Are you just going to live off royalties and whatever services they can generate?
