... By the way, an open handed slap on the mug is way more degrading. Nice find.
Not sure which I like better between your pic and BBJ's monkey kiss, but this thread is a good one.
Judas Priest men! 12 pages to catch up on in two days!?
Just a quick one to say big congratulations to the longs and even the steel-balled individuals who bought pre-ER.
M8 - much like your wife, because my better half also dislikes our huge investment in BlackBerry, due to your generous BlackBerry stock TA helping many of us out, I think you have become my wife's secret admirer.
Behave man! I am watching you! ;)
As we did last time, we will have a call early next week with BBRY, any questions you want asked, please respond here. Please use the quote function.

Not a mathematicians. But let me take a stab at it:
We know, devices sold 700,000 at $315 ASP = $ 225 Million
Assumption 1: Assuming 100K Priv devices @ $ 525 ASP gives $52.5 Million.
Which leaves us with $172.5 Million from non-PRIV devices.
ASP of NON PRIV is $240. 172.5/$240 = 718,000. Which is MORE than the total number sold.
Assumption 2: Assuming 150K devices = $78.75M
Which leaves us with $146.25 Million from non-PRIV devices.
ASP of NON PRIV is $240. 146.25/$240 = 609,000. But 609k+150K=759K . Which is still more than total numbers sold.
Assumption 3: Assuming 200K devices = $105M
Which leaves us with $120Million from non-PRIV devices.
ASP of NON PRIV is $240. $120M/$240 = 500,000 non-priv devices. And 200K Priv device.
This assumption 3 works.
So, if ASP for PRIV is $525, they sold about 200,00 PRIV.
If ASP is much higher (say, $600), they'd have sold much less than 200k.
I don't know share market.. I don't know how it works..but I wanted to buy shares for a sincere company which is known for innovation for the best interest of customers .. I'm awaiting a success story of blackberry in coming few months.. I know it will happen for sure..
Everyone likes blackberry and bb10.. but they never played a strategy to acquire customers interest.. but with the launch of priv it is a clear picture to me.. they started thinking strategist .. an android phone lover who hates blackberry for its OS started buying priv..just because he loves blackberry phone but not OS.. in fact they hate BlackBerry os just for the reason they don't know how it works.. if they experience bb10 os they will definitely go mad..
To conclude, good days ahead and I agree with thread starter.. I want to buy blackberry shares just not because I love BlackBerry but I believe in their strategy.. it's gonna work

... Close. The republic of Timbuktu finally getting Bold 9900's.
Don't judge me for opinion on their poor marketing but my question, if you'd relay it to them, is around marketing.:
Are we going to see a large, coordinated marketing campaign? When I say marketing, I am talking specifically about advertising. Eg: TV ads during prime-time running multiple times (not just one commercial in one show). Re-enforced by billboard ads and subway platform takeovers (Eg: plastering Bay street station in Toronto, stations around Wall Street in NYC with BlackBerry PRIV imagery etc).
Most new BlackBerry PRIV ads seem very poorly designed. BB doesn't seem to be following its own branding guidelines. Basic no-no like not mixing multiple fonts in a design are not being adhered to. Feels very amateur. Like someone created a flyer at home using MS Paint or PowerPoint for 'lost dog' or 'garage sale'
Some black & white ads also seem creepy and do not convey the message properly.
If money/budget is a concern for coming up with an awesome integrated print/internet-ad campaign, perhaps you could simply CROWDSOURCE it on some crowdsourcing site? For example: Award $50,000 and run a competition on 99DESIGNS.com
- the winner would need to come up with a set of banner ads, print ads, website design etc. You could run multiple competitions like that on 99Designs or similar sites and come up with multiple ad/branding campaigns. You can try out each campaign and promote whichever campaign gives you the best results.
Here we go. Major test!

So to estimate the units sold for this Q, we need to make three assumptions (or data):
1. What is the % BB10 solid unit drops comparing to the last Q?
2. What is the % ASP drops for the sold BB10 unit comparing to the last Q?
3. What is the realistic ASP for the Priv?
Please give your assumptions and I will update the estimation in my excel sheet.
Here you go. This was the single sentence I wanted to read: Many countries, very soon. We have a winner.
Take the figures you want, read the analysis, feel the wind, ask the 8ball, read the tea leaves ...
As for me now, a pic worth 1K word, isn't it ?

Person2: actually dances in the same way the person dances in TV show
Person1: gets upset..and changes different channel.. other dance show
