US Department of Defense orders 80,000 BlackBerry phones

22 January, 2014
As a result of the deal, BlackBerry's stock price saw a significant increase and reached $10 per share.

Sort by:

Good, but not enough. The best move would be what Nokia did and move to WP; a troubled but established and loved brand in a new market like Windows Phone has a lot more potential to grow.
Instead they decided to shoot their own leg and develop their own system; not really a smart move for a company gasping for oxygen.

    where is that person who used to say "knox is nominated as best security app. You are pretending to be samsung owner. Play with your iphone and shut up."
    Also bb is far more secured than restricted itoy and it isnt even restricted. The only reason they are going down is because they didnt listen to people in time.

              Some people think android and ios are only smartphones just because they are selling well and/or the have more than nine hundred thousand applications in the store.

                Just proves the fact, when it comes to security, BlackBerry is the best. No Knox or anything like that can even match the security of BlackBerry. Intelligent move by the US department of defense.

                    Cause that is the easiest way to CC the NSA on everything they do.

                        "Smartphones" - Good joke. You'll see the defense department rocking old school phones, and they'll be gifted to them as brand new.
