BBM Channels seems like the only thing BlackBerry is doing something on and being proactive. New beta today with private channels now available. Lots of new features as well.

It so far seems like a great build with some nice new features. They have also allowed you to make your channel restricted to region and/or age so bring on the porn

So you guys are thinking we'll have a break-even or better ER despite what TH hinted at?

Nope... I still think it will be a loss. Although revenues will be up, I expect, spending will have also been up so we're still in for a loss.

Amazon should just buy BlackBerry. It's pocket change for Bezos.

I really like the beta zone app which loads it right on your device. No need for loading on the PC.

I also like the geo location channel suggestion feature and as well seeing some nice brands like Mercedes have their own channel. Reminds me very much of their Instagram feed.

Looks like BBM for iPhone was submitted for approval 2 weeks ago according to Alex Kinsella on twitter.

The android version approval is much easier.

Damn it!! You guys are already at play-time and I'm still here at work checking Operations Orders and updating charts. I'm stopping off at Wing Daddy's after work with some friends and soak up the "atmosphere" and some cold ones.

Not related to BBRY but journalists should be ashamed to file a story like this about twitter.

My guess (and I hope to be under-guessing by a long long long shot!)

• BB 10 sales: 1.96 M ( )
• EPS: -$0.15 ( )

In an hour I'll be watching mini-skirts and cleavage while enjoying some cold wheat beers.

Besides Cjc's estimate, those expectations are really low. Remember since the last ER Blackberry has at least one more chance to try and stuff the channel with the Q5 and Q10, and they will have an interest in not shipping less than last time.

I think another 2.7 is achievable, and it it is actually 2.2, it would be a terrible reflection on BB.

It's all speculation and they take what they get and run in any direction they deem fit. Sound familiar? lol

As for the rumoured move, can someone tell me why they would even bother? Don't they make a crap ton of money already? Why take it public?

Why do you need to run straight to channel stuffing? All counts of both internet usage and sales show an increase over the last number of months. Not a big increase mind you, but an increase non the less. And only shipping 2.7 million last time hardly seems like stuffing.

I dont think we need to recount the survey-based numbers, which suggest consumer adoption is poor, and the terrible BB news cycle, which would put off corporate buyers. Expectations are obviously low.

I'll agree with you and also say that 2.7 million shipped is poor and hardly suggests channel stuffing. And corporate buyers hardly care about what the general public is buying if they are really concerned about their corporate security.

Edited, but late
3 is my number !
