BBM for Android and iOS Relaunching Today
Still say its stupid
Now, if they focus on making a line of high-quality, hardened (in terms of security) devices, then they could have something.
1. It will prove that there is a market for Blackberry services, which will aid them in making the case to potential buyers that the Blackberry brand name still means something
2 It will help them make the transition from a hardware company to a software and services company
3 It will help convince otherwise loyal Blackberry users not to jump ship because they can still use BBM even if none of their friends owns a Blackberry phone

Well said.
1) It shows that people will take a free messaging app, not necessarily an indicataion in overall interest in BB services
2) They have repeatedly stated their goal was to stay in hardware manufacturing. And I would think that you would leave that path for the next owner to decide.
3) Now they can jump ship to an Android or iPhone and still have the benefit of BBM. It has to be either BBM or Enterprise that makes someone loyal to BB now. And with this app its now only Enterprise.
But I see your points and obviously the Board of Directors at Blackberry agree with those points. Lol 🤣

As a retail store manager, 100% of BB sales we have are due to people who need to use the BBM service
Here's the problem:
"100% of a sales total which was insufficient to keep the company operating was due to XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXX XXXXX."
It doesn't matter what the second half of that sentence is.
