No one knows for sure, but I imagine the new direction BlackBerry takes will be smaller, aimed at business users, and more focused on BlackBerry's strengths (email, security, texting, phone calls).

I think BlackBerry focusing on what it's good at instead of trying to be a "fun" phone will be good. Carriers probably won't be as quick to offer BlackBerrys in stores, like you can see T-Mobile doing.

You can already see BlackBerry taking matters into their own hands by selling unlocked devices online. I think that is the future of BlackBerry sales to us regular consumers, and I'm fine with that.

Let's be honest.
It's impossible to screw it up even more.

It has to get better under new management.

Impossible is nothing my dear friend.

It's not BS when it's a distinctly possible outcome. At least when it comes to producing handsets.

What others have said. Blackberry needs to focus on what it's good at and stop trying to make another iPhone.

IPhone and Androids have the consumer market owned right now and that's ok. There's still a small market for well made, business oriented smartphones and Blackberry owns that market. Just like in years past regular consumers will find their way to Blackberry devices by choice if they want it.

Business orientated smartphone needs business orientated apps. Banks, couriers, project management apps.

Iphone ana droids have them.

Do they really "own" that market?

[rohetaku]

No they don't.

People need to stop lying to themselves. This is not 2008

"Blackberry owns the market for well made smartphones"? Really? Where would that market be?

[Dunt Dunt Dunt]

No one really know, doubt PW knows for sure until a team can really look the books over and see what the situation with sales vs shipments is and how many of those 25K BES10 installation are real. But I think that BlackBerry as we know it is pretty much done....

Fairfax is only interested in profits... and the simple fact is BlackBerry has lost most of their advantages and customers, leaving very little room for a relaunch without spending a LOT of additional CASH, with a very small chance at success. There is very little profit in the smartphone hardware business. It's all about scale for everyone other than Apple. The last bastion for profits that BB has left is Government and a small sector of enterprise, but they are killing any chance of being dominate in even this small niche because of the uncertainty of "will BB be there is six months". By the time the smoke settles, this niche might be closed to them.

Your Z10 will work. They will be a private company, and you will be downloading 10.3 or possible 10.4.

It is BS. Blackberry cannot compete in Enterprise without creating the ultimate keyboard smartphone.

[msps]

They can build a phone with full size qwerty keyboard and holographic 17 inch display and jacuzzi. Doesn't matter

No business apps = no future on enterprise market

Really? We are an enterprise company. Use BES10 and will be pushing internally developed apps out to our phones. Enterprise doesn't mean just downloaded apps.

[msps]

Anything stops you pushing them to iphones and android?
Anything stops you to use bes alternatives.

It's just not enough to be anything but a very niche software company
