BlackBerry should buy protonmail.ch

There's a growing trend in my country where by enterprises are using corporate gmail.

According to my friend who works in one of these companies, gmail gives enterprises superior analytics, integration with all google apps like google drive, business features like meeting reminders direct from inbox, hangouts video conferencing and almost unlimited space.

Why companies would trust google? I will never understand, I guess they only see the perks.

I think BlackBerry should offer the same, partner with amazon secure cloud drive services and buy out proton mail because it has an impressive story.

If you guys cant be bothered checking out proton mail's website, they are basically starting a super secure, custom end to end encryption based email platform with servers based in Switzerland.

Made by 3 Cern scientists/entrepreneurs no less.

This would be a nice acquisition after secumart.

So we can have both secure end to end voice calls, messaging (by BBM protect) AND email.

A subscription service of even 50 dollars a year I would gladly pay for the whole shebang.

Enterprise customers would pay even more and quite gladly so I would imagine.

And for BlackBerry buying out protonmail would be super cheap right now as they just public ally raised USD500k to start up which really isnt much. Even at 100 times that it would only cost them 50mil. Maybe they could use that 3 billion reserves for something of incredible value.

What do you guys think?

Differentiate or Die

Read about it in the net, there is an elementary security flaw in the programming, highly criticized!

Im not disbelieving you but I cant seem to find it.

I googled "proton mail security flaw"

And what I got what proton mail inviting hackers to break their system in hopes to find and patch security flaws.

Of which im sure is a publicity stunt for them as they actually organising this event.

This is a better choice IMO. If you just buy something its because you can't do it in house or its cheaper to buy because the R&D would cost to much. If they keep going down that path, they will simply be known as a security patent holder and not a truly security base company.

Bring back the entrepreneur spirit that got BlackBerry to where it is and bring all these security features but make them yourself and make them better. Then go one step further and make the next generation mouse trap and give it to your end users at a reasonable price...or since I'm cheap, for free:). well at least a consumer version with the option to upgrade.

A slow climb to the top is always more rewarding. Sent using my BlackBerry Z10.

Correct and the infrastructure is already in place. Remember the BlackBerry.com email addresses being phased out.

Agree that BlackBerry should launch a secure end to end email/cloud service. Whether it's by partnering, buying, or developing I don't care, as long as it's the most secure service on the market..

I am currently waiting for my Protonmail and lavaboom invites to come.. and once they do, bye bye Gmail and Hotmail

And if you read the whole thing, you'll see that that bug is fixed. Is this not the purpose of running a beta program? To find and fix the bugs before a full blown public release?

Didn't BlackBerry offer there own email server before bb10. I used to have a BlackBerry email address but since bb10 they no longer offer it like bbo7 @xxxx.BlackBerry.net

Wasn't that a secure email?

Same here. Until BlackBerry comes back to the market with a version, this looks like a good option.

I can't wait to get my invite, and ya things are expected to happen during the beta phase, but they all seem from reading their site that they want to be the best service, and not just pretend to be like some other competitors

I can see this being a great fit. However, I wish the domain was something more professional. They should by mail.com just for the name...

Anyways, I kind of like how agnostic BlackBerry is. You can use any email address in the hub, without worrying about one working better than the other like you have in icloud or gmail. Cloud storage? Use whatever you want, BlackBerry doesn't have their own such as drive or icloud, so they all work well. I feel the lack of services provided first-party allows developers more opportunity than other platforms, where the other companies will obviously promote their own services over a third party.

But people like to say that something "just works" and that usually means first-party owned services across the board.

Nice one!
