BlackBerry (BBRY) loses another big enterprise customer as Home Depot is reportedly switching to Apple's (AAPL) iOS for all store managers and corporate-level employees. The move will have the company swapping out about 10K Blackberrys for iPhones. At this point the approximately 60K Motorola phones used by floor employees will not be affected. [View news story]
I base my comment on the future whereas you base yours on the past my friend.

You have to figure that the Apple rep got the Depot rep rip-roaringly drunk to pull this off. That or Home Depot's IT department is horribly incompetent.
Oh well, they can always switch back but someone has likely signed their own termination they just don't know it yet.
BlackBerry (BBRY +2.7%) plans to offer its Secure Work Space software for Android (GOOG) and Apple's (AAPL) iOS in June, thereby enabling users to split and secure their work and personal data on non-BlackBerry devices. The move comes as corporate and government clients increase their use of iPhones and Android devices, and as Samsung (SSNLF.PK) makes its own play for larger customers who are worried about security.

More on BlackBerry: Lenovo buyout speculation has picked up again thanks to remarks made by Lenovo (LNVGY.PK) CEO Yang Yuanqing to a French paper. "As for BlackBerry, the [acquisition] could possibly make sense. But first I have to analyze the market well and understand what is the exact weight of this company." CFO Wong Dai suggested in January his company is open to buying BlackBerry (BBRY +9.1%), but Lenovo later downplayed those remarks. [View news story]
This hints at the beginning of BBRY licencing out their superior software.

One of is a fan boy that is quite evident. IOS is maxed out and rather buggy judging from my iPod. When you actually have a BB10 in your hands for a day or two get back to us. Otherwise you are merely speaking on conjecture.
BlackBerry (BBRY -2.4%) fell once more today. A possible trigger: Kantar Worldpanel estimated BlackBerry accounted for just 0.7% of U.S. smartphone sales from February-April, in spite of AT&T and Verizon's late-March Z10 launches. The number is down from the 5.3% estimated for a year ago, and also the 0.9% estimated for January-March. SA contributor Elephant Analytics argues Kantar tends to understate high-end phone sales.

line up your ducks for September ER peeps.
That's when this train leaves the station for good.
In spite of receiving plenty of sell-side love, BlackBerry (BBRY -0.8%) couldn't hold onto its post-earnings gains. Bernstein thinks BlackBerry's results/guidance indicate "resilience in service revenue" in spite of pricing changes - BlackBerry claims most of its 3M sub losses came from the low-ARPU prepaid segment. Thorsten Heins stated on the earnings call 55% of Z10 buyers have been from other platforms. Cheaper BB10 models are due later this year. EMEA made up 46% of FQ4 sales, Latin America 18%, Canada 8%, and the U.S. and Asia-Pac 14% apiece. (more) [View news story]
As they say- old habits (and stereotypes) die hard.
But what is real cannot be denied for long- the light of BB10 will soon shine on those who come into contact with it's effortlessness.
And like an ember from a campfire can initiate a forest fire, so too will the tide turn and the world at large be won over.
BlackBerry (BBRY +8.3%) has received an order for 1M BB10 phones from one of its "established partners" (exactly whom remains a mystery). The announcement has sent shares flying higher over the final hour of trading. Also: Verizon (VZ) says it will begin selling the Z10 on March 28, and will start taking pre-orders tomorrow. As was rumored, the carrier will have exclusive access to a white version of the device. [View news story]
pretty sure the gig is up for the shorts. at least those who can read the writing on the wall. those who remain willfully blind, well, they will get their just desserts.
