The future of blackberry?

[Sam1]

What do you think the future of blackberry is? They're going to report a 1Q loss.... http://www.wirelessindustrynews.org/news-may-2012/3138-05302012-win-news.html

I don't forsee them getting back to their old selves, maybe they'll still survive due to all the fanboys and girls who think BBM is the best thing ever but honestly, they are just too far behind in my eyes.

 

[Sam1]

I have to agree. But, I don't think they are impossible to save- it'd just take someone with a bit of brilliance.

 

[Martee]

Not impossible, no. They'd have to change their stance though, they are still big in the business world somewhat from what I've read (Which admittedly, isn't much ) so why not focus on that side instead of breaking into the main market in my eyes. Maybe you can be that 'brilliant' person mate.

If they implement Android in their phones, they will be saved.

They have or were making their own OS were they not?

Blackberry does have it's own propriety OS, but that is losing out to Android and iOS. I haven't heard much about Balckberry and Android.

They're relying on BB10 to be a success, if it isn't then the company doesn't really have anything else. Their tablets aren't doing too well either.

With Samsung and Apple ruling the market, BB has no chance to come up or compete. Their new OS may reach some users...but many won't be going for it.

Exactly this.

Apple is ruling the market (in my opinion) with Android following closely behind. It's all about the damn apps now a days... I miss the days of old Razor flip phones.
