ThePhenomPoltergeist, 29 Sep 2016Bye Blackberry, you will no longer be a threat. Oh I forgot... moreYou can at least say a proper, dignified and respectful goodbye to a company who pioneered the always-on instant messaging that you are enjoying now using other platforms. You do not have to diss a company for not meeting your expectations and standards. You owe it to the old tech for all the things you are using now.

AnonD-587142, 28 Sep 2016HMD Global is a Finnish company runs by Nokia's old employe... moreThe point I'm making is if Nokia can make comebacks despite going broke and propped by Microsoft for a shortwhile then why not Blackberry who at least have good software portfolio?
As far as designing your handsets, if you're putting out a 5" slab there is already thousands to choose from. They all mostly look the same and doesn't impact the actual usage. That is Android.
That's how it works in car business, fashion business and many other business-to-business markets. Focus on what you're strength is. Nokia made good hardware, slow on the software offerings. Blackberry didn't make great hardware but they had some software properties which they now can leverage on all platforms. So why make devices whose margins are not so high?

They still has edge in security department.
(According to the National Vulnerability Database, iOS has three times greater vulnerability than Android, in fact...)
But from a personal-use viewpoint, I don't... just go with the other Android phone tickles my heart

This is rather good move, because in terms of BB's customer's concern, hardware spec won't be a priority.
Given there're numbers of potential parters out there so it could still involve in hardware design when the time comes.

Are they going to license their name to Indonesian telecom joint venture? Well... Expect no privacy, no maintenance, and no after sales service. Don't believe me? Look at those bbm invite spams. They are mostly from Indonesia. Why? Because the telecoms in Indonesia sell their customers'data and PIN to third party i.e. marketing companies.
Maintenance and after sales service (warranty) is nearly non existent here in Indonesia. When you claim a warranty, you will be sent back and forth like a ping pong game between the vendor and their 'appointed' service centre. And to add insult, at the end they will say it's the customer's fault therefore the warranty is void.
Good luck BB patrons!

AnonD-587142, 28 Sep 2016BlackBerry market cap is $4.7 billion. Nokia's market cap ... morehe's maybe referring to what Microsoft did to Nokia and not the Nokia brand itself, laughable when people like him opens their mouth and knows nothing
