Wow "Teacher" we are listening!!!

"this is the version where we should see unified management for legacy and OS10 devices, for instance."
that should have been the first and highest priority...if you ask me
Are you insinuating that there is validity to the post that fin2007 is quoting? :raised-eyebrow:
Come on BB, release the damm BBM and see millions of downloads in days, weeks ahead..
Just imagine close to billion users get interested in BBM after their friends downloads, chain affect of downloading BBM of iOS/Anroid users, some new isheep kids never experienced BBM downloading telling their friends, few million original BBM users who left BB in last 5 years sitll have soft spot about BB and BB, the viral affect of it...
Today's news.
Boulben said the company already has 6 million Android and iPhone customers pre-registered for the launch of its BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) service.
He said he expects the BBM to launch on both those platforms "within days," adding that the company is confident that it fixed issues that arose after the initial cross-platform launch of the messaging service last month.
And also he said that he will release BBM within days according to Reuters news story.

And how will this make BBRY money?
BB should have included in the same letter that download BBMX this weekend or SOON so the message print media cost is not waste and push BBM to more users
Well, either Prem and Mike are playing the nemesis opposition card, or they have had a falling-out.
I am still going with the prior.
Whatever the case, it looks to bump the SP, so I am all for it.

how does Twitter make money?
Today you have have posted about a Billion new BBM users and the stock price doubling. I hope BBRY does well, but thinking there will be a Billion new BBM users and that a take out offer is coming at a 100% premium to the SP is really dangerous thinking. I would encourage realistic optimism, but I think your expectations are WAY off.
Do you honestly think BBM is even in the same universe as Twitter. Unfortunately, not even close. Again, hoping BBM and BBRY do well but its not even close to Twitter. Comparing the two is just silly.
Twitters IPO price is expected to be 4-5 times the entire current value of ALL of BBRY. I am not saying one isn't going to be overpriced and one might be a bargain but they are not off by a factor of 4 or 5.
not comparing the 2 company just pointing out that BBM will be making money (even if it is going to be small) to BBRY as social networks make money
I'm just curious ...
Personally I don't see the big deal with Twitter, it's main quality is instant (quick) relay of info...with a limit of 140 characters. BBM does that too, but better. I can see it replacing Skype and Twitter...not sure if it will happen but I can see it :).

GgggggggrrrrrrrRRRRRRReeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEENNNNNNN ;) :) :D :p
Edit:
- Read this : Message from BlackBerry: You can still count on us | CrackBerry.com
- Nite guys, must pull off the power cord to finish paintings of my office.
There's more. But I'm not sure. Must double check before.

If you ask, I'd say cloud. And by cloud I'll say Office365 on premise and multiple servers implementation. Witch should lead very shortly to BCS with O365 MS services ...

Why did BlackBerry come out with a statement.. does it imply a status quo? No sale or partnership in the works?

I guess they have seen the dropoff of enterprise interest increase due to uncertainty and they are trying to stem that - odd the CEO's name isn't on it.
As an established hardware manufacturer with existing customers, BBRY has a significant disadvantage over Twitter or even Snapchat. Startups are in a much better position to grow rapidly.
If BBM is a huge success, it just gives BBRY more overhead and no more revenue. If a startup is a huge success, it just attracts more investors. And no, investors aren't going to give money to BBRY even if BBM is a huge success. That time has passed.
Plenty of us are already using BBM for iOS and Android and I can tell you from personal experience that there's nothing so special bout it that it will go viral much less cause people to run out to buy Blackberrys. Could you point me to the rave reviews from Crackberry users?
Haha great analysis. More overheads, no revenue. Where do people come up with this.
What you are describing is a charity. ;)

Agree. I don't see what the purpose of this message is if it isn't signed by at least one actual person rather than "The Blackberry Team". It seems like something that the PR department would put together.
Maggie, that is what they are paid for, you know public relations.

The enterprise customers they are trying to reach have PR departments also, so I'm guessing they aren't that impressed with the "You can count on us" message from "The Blackberry Team". It's not exactly something you can stand up and say at a meeting "Don't worry, I read an ad in the paper signed by the Blackberry Team that says that we can count on them. I say we take their word for it."
The fact that the CEO didn't sign it would make most people think he's already gone and raises (not "begs" - that's incorrect) the question, "who is the Blackberry Team, right now, anyway?"
So you are saying they shouldn't do any PR because everyone else does it.
Great.
You know one of the services that they offer is crisis management. Maybe, just maybe they thought this was a good way to address the perception that BlackBerry won't be around.
