BB10, RIM and the future

  • Once it broke $11.17 US this morning with some force it went right to the $11.65 range like a hot knife through butter. But it will probably take some time to beat that resistance if it can. If it is able to close above $11.17 it should become a support going forward.
  • I bailed on my BB about a month ago, never received the app development as I hoped, could not take it any longer. OnePlus absolutely rocks btw, battery life can't be beat.

    Curious, which BB did you have and what sort of apps did you need? Not trying to start a flame war, just wondering..
  • Z10 purchased on release day

    Just any apps in general, i'm not really a big app user, just nice to have that option. Yahoo fantasy, DFS sites, pokerstars, streaming apps

    Can do so much more with my android, and with ease without having to go through another program (BB link)

    Wanna sell your Z10? Why would you need BB link for any of those? I never use it other than for backup. Virtually everything I have tried to stream does it in the browser.. Not sure why an app is even needed for that. Yahoo Fantasy hockey works fine on mine, don't know what DFS is..

    cue Moose here soon..;)
  • Just an FYI:

    OnePlus battery = 3,100 mAh
    BB Passport = 3,450 mAh
    BB Z30 = 2,880 mAh
    BB Z10 = 1,800 mAh

    iPhone 5S = 1,560 mAh
    iPhone 6 = 1,810 mAh
    iPhone 6+ = 2,915 mAh

    The majority of android apps are available for direct download and use on BB10 devices through Amazon (on top of the BB native apps). I can't comment on any specific ones though.
  • Lots of news today on BBRY (notice it mostly not handset related). Stock is solidly into new 52 week high territory (so far today it has broken through the $11.65 barrier).
  • Think I missed this last buying opportunity..:(
  • This could get really interesting as almost 20% of the share were shorted as of the end of October (102M I believe).
  • Natural fit...BB is well experienced in self-destruction IMO...

    lol, and you're not trolling? Funny... Actually that was a serious question.
  • BlackBerry went bankrupt and dissolved back in August remember.
  • Yep saw that however my gut feel is just that, rumour... Put in a sell order for tomorrow morning.

    May be too late.
  • Shouldn't whoever fed this false rumour to Reuters be up on charges or Reuters themselves? Obviously would never happen but should.....as this should be looked at more seriously than any sort of insider trading probe. You know someone made a fortune spreading these lies and maybe shorting it at the top.

    Chen wants U.S. Congress to force companies to make BlackBerry apps | News | Tec

    Wow. I like my blackberry. It does what I need it to do.

    But that's just kind of sad, depressing and embarrassing.

    I think it would be relevant to both threads you mentioned.
  • News flash. BB still terrible, losing money, handset sales now down to 600k last quarter and that's with issuing the Priv.

  • What? BB still losing money and now they plan to drop handsets and make driverless cars. WTF? Another big hole to drop money into. Bet they wish they didn't change their name from Research in Motion.

    Lost over 100 million, revenue last quarter $289 down from $548 million a year ago, but Chen says they are 'in growth mode'. lol.

  • I'd say now is a good time to buy. You can only go up from there!

    You may actually be right, it has traded in such a narrow range (+/- $10) for the past 3 years or so making it a prime merger candidate.. I made most of my profits 3-5 years ago on it. In those days it bounced around quite a bit and was a moneymaker for sure. The phone end of the business has long been discounted so now it's the intrinsic value left from services, likely about where it currently sits on the tsx... Takeover rumours or bids would likely push it a couple of bucks higher. Trouble is you don't know when/if that could happen. Upside is that it's base is likely around where it is so downside is minimal despite Moose's hate.. ;)

    Nice prediction....

    Posted this just for Moose's love...

    But is interesting how many key devices and conveniences could be running QNX in coming years. I did buy a small amount in early April but wish I had bought more.
  • You are a wizard with Blackberry for sure Comp but I only, like, buy companies with actual profits, y'know?

    lol, actually you do realize that a better method would to buy companies with upside on the market not ones making huge profits but down on the market. I know it's a fairly new concept but do consider it. Lot's of big mature companies with examples of that.
