As a CEO you should be prepared fully to demonstrate your new flagship.
The biggest spite I have with that video is when Chen swipes up. I know this is Android software, but BB10 swipe gestures are the most efficient I've ever used on a OS. I'd be really disappointed if the Priv didn't have these gestures on the final product.
Also in the interview the lady jokes about twitter instead of delving more into the product, seems the only thing she cared about was the "slide". *Sigh*
I cant find the article but when $BBRY released the official statements about the release of the Priv they did mention the new device will have a choice of OS, maybe I'm misinterpreting this but to me that sounds like you can choose Lollipop or BB10?

3. Dealings that aren't exactly "street legal"
I already said it on Twitter last night and I mean no disrespect to John Chen but he needs some acting workshop lessons to learn how to put on a huge presentation. Even Managing Directors and CEO's who would have been invited to an event need to be presented a show. Steve Jobs was a master at presenting the next big thing and Tim Cook is good as well. I am not saying Chen should know the complete ins and outs of how to act, just the basic fundamentals to captivate an audience.
My own theory is... BB the company was not really ready to do a full blown reveal on Friday. They had to act because of the leak of the name the day before. That's why he used the angle of the Company being "a victim" of privacy of the leak. He never had a chance to rehearse the presentation. Wasn't he in Israel the day before on a Tech meeting??
Not a BB apologist. Just check out all my posts all over these forums on the slow descent to uselessness of my BB10 Z30.
I completely disagree. This "slider" device has been in the works for awhile now. Wasn't it presented very briefly at a show at the beginning of 2015? All he had to do was some basic explaining, ask Mark from Baka its not that hard.

and your point is?
My point is? If you wanna talk bidness lets talk then.
Last week (one week before Blackberry earnings) I bought the October weeklies $7.5 straddle for .80 cents a contract. I bought 30 contracts, you do the math. The market-maker move of Blackberry's earnings was pricing in a $0.53 cent move on the stock price. Well on Sep 25th, the day of earnings, the stock dropped $0.54 cents, exactly what the MMM priced in. I cashed out that day with enough to buy me a new Priv. I invest in Blackberry products and I speculate on their equity. Granted I've lost in the past but this straddle plays both ways of market direction, and the MMM was exactly on point.

Straddles are illegal in Canada for some bizarre reason. I did the 11$ CAN calls expiring yesterday, only 10 contracts, got burned. Still buying it
