BlackBerry can cut costs on design and production of hardware and their own OS, lay offs in hardware and BB10 divisions, and they could benefit from the cheaper component costs Samsung can leverage thanks to moving large amounts of inventory, and the cheaper labor afforded to Samsung for assembly, for the same reason.
BlackBerry can continue to push Enterprise sales, since many are using Android already. So then Enterprise customers can get Android, with BlackBerry security, and features like Hub and BBM.
