  • BlackBerry: More Than A Smartphone [View article]
    Excellent, brilliant, thank you for your time and effort! Now, please send your article to the morning bunch at CNBC, who badly need re-educating. I heard Peter Misek was on. Is this true? What did he have to say?

  • "There is not and has not been any specific evaluation or activity underway regarding BlackBerry (BBRY -0.9%)," says a Lenovo (LNVGY.PK) spokesman, discussing recent speculative remarks from CEO Yang Yuanqing. BlackBerry shares remain up 9.8% on the week. (Pac Crest[View news story]
    The big price rise on Monday was due to AT&A announcing having the Z10 available on March 22nd. It was nothing to do with Lenovo.

  • BlackBerry Bounces 15%: Why? [View article]
    The stock did not bounce yesterday because of Lenovo. The CEO of Lenovo was only answering a question from a French Journalist. It was not an announcement. The share price jump was from the news that AT&T would bring out the Z10 on March 22nd. And AT&T will buy the phone from Blackberry for $699 and sell the phone to customers for $199 plus a 2 year contract, just like the other phones.

  • Apple Won't Buy BlackBerry [View article]
    I can't add to the "tech talk", but thank you to all of those SA enthusiasts who can and do. I just enjoyed the "fast cash" twice with BlackBerry shares. Here's to some more!! Cheers!

  • BlackBerry Z10 U.K. Pricing Remains At A Premium, Despite Misleading Analyst Report [View article]
    Thank you for your excellent article. Most promisingly, I've noticed that Rogers and Bell here in Canada are running ads to appeal to young people, not to just businesses and professionals. If BlackBerry sales had fallen off badly, those carriers would have cancelled their ads.

  • BlackBerry's Thorsten Heins: What Does He Know? [View article]
    One of the best articles I've read so far on SA. Thank you. Your appraisal of Heins' attitude, outlook and planning are outstanding. He, and he alone knows how many phones have sold and where. Can't wait for the real numbers at the next financial quarter - end of March I believe.

  • Why BlackBerry Is About To Lose Its Dominance In Emerging Markets [View article]
    In all of these countries, Africa, the Far East, the Middle East, young people want smart phones, even though some of them will be hard pressed to afford them. Blackberry will be there.

  • BlackBerry Positives: Short Interest, Goldman And Forbes Counter Samsung Knox [View article]
    Thank you Tufenk. What are these "shorts" going to do when the stock price goes up $2-3.00?? Also, thank you for confirming my suspicions that the increase in the outstanding shorts was the reason for the stock price dropping to the $13. area.
    Having been away from Canada for 2 weeks, it's pleasing to see the change in sentiment from just about every quarter.

  • Early-Bird Analysts Confused About BlackBerry 10 Sales [View article]
    4121 is right Vlad...you are changing your sentiment. The most important area of the mobile computer phone stage is now the carriers. After a recent trip to Florida, I am giving the following grades to the carriers that I "dropped in" on at Port Charlotte Mall. Highest grade goes to Sprint - 4 clerks each with a customer, reasonably attractive surroundings. When asked if I could buy a Z10, the clerk said they would be available mid-March. Second grade goes to Boom/mobile - owned by Sprint. The clerk was personable, animated and had lots of anecdotal info. Z10 not really available to them for a few months as they are the discount arm of Sprint. A C grade goes to T-Mobile - attractive airy retail mall space with busy clerks on Saturday. On Monday, a different clerk was not up to the job and had to be pushed for the correct information. A D grade was given to Verizon. Dark little hole of a retail space with two young clerks who would barely give me the time of day - but eventually they did cough up the correct information - mid March would see the Z10 available. Time will tell.

  • Samsung (SSNLF.PK) has made corporate sales a "top three priority" for its mobile-phone unit, but while it has a 16% market share vs 50% for Apple (AAPL) and 10% for BlackBerry (BBRY), security concerns exist given Samsung's use of Android. To help overcome those fears, Samsung has teamed up with GD (GD) to get Pentagon approval, while it's also poached execs from rivals and mobile-security companies. [View news story]
    You can't beat Blackberry for its security. It's the phone for professionals and despite all the negative "talk", (and some of it quite vitriolic), I still see Blackberrys being used two out of three times.

  • BlackBerry: Raising Goldman's $19 To $20.82 [View article]
    Coming home from Florida, there were, on each side of me, two smart phone users. One had a Blackberry - the other a Windows. As I do not have a smart phone (or mini computer), I am only qualified to decide which I preferred just on observations. Hands down, it was the Blackberry - just from its ease of use - fast easy access to whatever the user wanted. The Windows phone was just plain boring.
