Reminder: BlackBerry to announce Q2 fiscal 2017 results September 28th
Blackberry!nin telif eseri OS yazılımından,çok memnunuz.Bizi sabit diski doldurup cihazı bayıltan Android ve Sürekli erör veren Windows yazılımından kurtardı.Tablet ve Labtop cihazlarda çıkarmasını bekliyoruz.Elimdeki Ativ book'un çalışmasından memnun değili.Kapat komutunu tıklıyorsunuz.Yazılım kapanıyor.Cihaz açık kalıp, fark etmedinizse şarjı bitiyor.Wi Fi ye bağlanırken,çok sık ağ isimleri seçilemiyor,neyi seçtiğinizi göremiyorsun uz, Kapatırkende seçemiyorsunuz.Tochpat zaten işlev görmüyor,Mous yada dokunmatik ekran dışında işlevi yok.Farklı markalarda da aynı işletim sistemi olanlarda da aynı sorun var.Geri bildirim uyarıları dikkate alınmı yor.Biz yaşlıların tek oyalandığı alet bunlar.

Well at this point..how just money is being specifically devoted to hardware. Aren't they just working on the OS for devices and seeing as how they're just ramping up the dtek60..i doubt they're exiting hardware. Not until their pkb android device is released which I'm personally waiting for

Puzzled that fiscal year 17 is being addressed now in 2016? What are the parameters of their fiscal year?
Here's BlackBerry's fiscal calendar.

EDIT
As for the parameters, that I am not sure. Every company is different so it all depends on a bunch of legal business gargon I don't really care enough to find out.
And #2...

Well they will either announce their handset division was profitable or at least break even and that's good, or its being closed down.
Dtek60 being their last phone...
But they'll still be committed to their current devices and software side of things.

My shift starts on wednesday at the same time! Hahaha I'm gonna miss it but will read the breakdown.
BlackBerry Passport, or Pass out without it! - WINDmobile HSPA soon to be LTE with latest bb10/QNX software.
Just show us the money Mr. Software company!!! Lol

Oh boy, I wonder how "good" these results will be?
DTEK50 will save the day baby!
I've marked my calendar.

BlackBerry is 10 is dead , I switched to blackberry priv and it's direction blackberry is going as evident of porting all their apps to android market. Once you make the switch you won't look back but rather embrace blackberry direction

Here's the thing down here in my little country if blackberry had introduced the BB10 devices at reasonable prices their phones would have been sold out, you know small market Samsung and such over priced down here, they'd make a killing. Commonwealth of Dominica.
Z30 still outplays some of these newer analdroids
Posted via CB10
I predict good software news/numbers and more blurry hardware numbers with the argument that dtek50 was released not long ago.

Lol that's been each and every single earnings call since the launch of BlackBerry 10.

Long live BlackBerry. I just bought DTEK50. Used it for 45 hours and returned it. Why?
I do not understand android portion of it. Nothing like bb10 software. So I returned DETK50 and bought a spare Z30. Just in case my Z30 gives up on me. I hope BlackBerry comes out with bb10 or Android options.
Just visited a Vodafone shop in London, UK, who told me that they no longer stock the Priv or the Passport. Sad news.....

This report for 2017 sounds like the BlackBerry 10.3.3 update :D

Here is 1... at least one more to go..

Not even interested anymore. Just keep selling bb10 phones and you get no complaints from me.

I think DTEK50 release are pretty good. Hopefully GOOD enough to keep the hardware business. I think people that wants to see blackberry fail are those that failed miserably in their own life. Misery wants company.
I think Blackberry is doing a GREAT job of failing all on their own without the bad wishes mate.
When the US is where a large number of BlackBerry's enterprise customers are located. When many of these customers still enjoy subsidized phones from the Carrier and special support from the Carrier. That BlackBerry had no Carrier support from any US Carrier... not sure what you are basing the DTEK50's "pretty good" launch on.
It's only been release in a few markets, and already the price is dropping.
Amazon has a whole seven review for the DTEK, that doesn't reflect that they are moving too many of them.
We will see, but I'd be a little cautious with my expectations of how the DTEK has been received..
Wtf 2017 ... you're an ***** Bla1ze.

Expect no new devices for BB10 and possibly some information on the 10.3.3 delay. The short to medium future doesn't look encouraging for us BB10 supporters.
Posted via CB10
I guess 10.3.3 will be released before that...somewhere heard 23rd sep could be the date. Could be wrong too..
PassportSQW100-1/10.3.2.2876
Funny thing is when you go to NIAP website BlackBerry is not listed as vendor, not listed under certified products, and not listed in products under evaluation. Perhaps I am missing something but it seems to me they either didn't get it, or never applied in the first place.

Dropping hardware at the end of the year. Lack of carrier support and their focus on other phones makes continued hardware development and sales of BlackBerry phones no longer a viable business case. BlackBerry will focused on software; enterprise integration and security solutions. Phone agnostic, with legacy BB apps continuing to bring the ecosystem. Charge against earning for greatly discounting remaining hardware and hardware development and support shutdown costs, so net negative earnings for the quarter. Additional restructuring to eliminate phone production, only will support adapting their software solutions to phone by others.

Hey, maybe they can beat this forecast... :)

Ouch.

And no 10.3.3
I guess Chen will announce if they would go ahead with hardware or completely axe it.
Looking at ''Software is the new Blackberry'' on all Blackberry social media sites, I'm nervous. :'(
Posted via CB10
Yep! Blackberry claiming to be a software co now. No money in hardware anymore. Plus, we have said this for years!!!
Posted via CB10
It seems like they're the only company that gets all these accolades which don't affect the stock price at all. I'm hoping for some Radar announcements from some big companies - get that stock moving.
Posted via CB10
F the accolades mate. $Money$ is what makes the world go round. And they are NOT making a significant amount of it.
Not YET.

I'm just saying but if BlackBerry is at all ready for a launch of a new phone right now might be the time considering the problems with the note 7. Hit em while their down!
Posted via the CrackBerry App for Android
Lol.
People who wanted a Note 7, obviously want a premium Android phone.
The DETK50 and the Priv are not premium Android phones.
Posted via Nexus 6p
The priv is a premium phone it's just a year old already people either don't know about it or are past it. I know all I have to do is whip the keyboard out to get jaws to drop. Who else has that? Then I show them it's touch enabled who has that on their premium phones? Answer Not one
Posted via the CrackBerry App for Android
They dropped the ball on the Biometric sensor. If it had launched with one of those...then we can consider it a premium phone.
I'm OK with that I'm not sure how comfortable I am at flashing my fingerprint around that will be the next thing hackers will be coping and using.
Posted via the CrackBerry App for Android
The priv 's not a premium phone. Came out last year and it's got left behind with it 1982 specs. Blackberry needs to keep up with iPhone, Samsung pretty every cell phone maker.
9900»8910»z10»Q20»Z30»Passport»Priv»Dtek50™
That requires more money than BlackBerry is worth. Not exactly doable...
1982 specs that are better than the iPhone 6?

You mean DTEK90.
Every time I say fingers crossed BlackBerry makes a profit it's bad news.
So today I'm going to say I hope BlackBerry looses more money... cuz they suck?
Long live BlackBerry!
Posted using the best phone ever, the Z30!
@Drmoe...well Doc, this time it's on a Wednesday.That's different,right?:-)
I got the number already:
Software: Doing fine!
Hardware: No exact numbers, but on a good way!
Posted via CB10
These are not number. Not specific and clear
Expressed from my BlackBerry Classic 10.3.2.2876
That's the point @Lahany They are never clear about numbers.
You got what I mean! ;)
Posted via CB10
I predict the numbers (devices, traditional business) won't be great. Period.
As there is no profit in low-end, and not a big enough hig-end, Andr0id devices market (that isn't served by some hi-end Samsung Galaxy device), AND even the great - but insanely poorly named - Priv isn't selling ... (no #s yet for the DTEK)
... I thus also predict it will also contain the decision to exit the device-hardware business.
A shame, really, because as good as a management team this company has been for almost ~19 years (publicly), they have NEVER missed a chance to miss an opportunity while shooting themselves in the foot from a consumer support, channel partner relations and plain old marketing point of view.
Also, because it is plain & simply "Marketing" - 1) the absolute absence thereof, and 2) what little there ever was, of abysmal 'compelling' quality - that is the main reason for the affliction.
The 'other' of course is the lack of other appealing qualities & features to most buyers - from ecosystem to functional desktop connectivity, etc. - to keep 'em coming.
More than any other CEO prior, at least Mr. Chen has masterfully managed the company's operations ... but he, like every other, has fallen into the same "we don't need creative, appealing, hard-hitting & compelling, marketing ..."
And let's be clear: Website banners and social media posts don't qualify as 'comprehensive' Marketing in an environment where viewers are shown ads mostly based on search patterns, history and browser cookies, or other keyword and social media user-preferences.
Interesting thoughts but there are several aspects that I disagree with. The premium phone market is frankly collapsing and it has nothing to do with blackberry. It's because the level of functionality that people require is now easily within the reach of a mid priced phone. Apps are a moot point and consumer services are a game that anyone can get into (low barrier to entry). The truth is that the smartphone isn't interesting anymore and thus it is rapidly becoming like any other electronic product. Margins will shrink everywhere so your options are bulk sales and niche offerings, blackberry is doing the latter. That's reality.
BlackBerry can make money at hardware but they will do it on their terms, corporate fleet sales, on line outlets and the occasional carrier. This approach keeps overhead and accessory costs low. By focusing on security, they build their niche and build their overall offerings. It's not glamorous but it will probably work.

Which is why they will continue to put their label and software on hardware going forward. Just not bb10 software.

Posted via the CrackBerry App for Android
@ Bla1ze, is it too early for some DTEK sell numbers? I'm assuming it the numbers where awesome they would mention it, if not so great then wait till the next time.
Posted via CB10
Likely get them in a roundabout way as usual. But come on, it's not even on any US carriers nor has it been rolled out to a wide array of markets as of yet. Unless BlackBerry has done well with direct fleet sales, don't think it's anything to write home about and well, while BlackBerry would love to sell a ton of them, breaking even on hardware is the baseline here.
Do you think it will make it to US Carriers? So far it has lukewarm reviews. Not sure the carriers are ready to get burned again, still trying to sell the Priv for 300 with no success.
BlackBerry Mercury announcement!
Posted via CB10
Hopefully! I had to buy an Android phone... absolutely hate it. I'm thinking of going back to my Q5 until they release the Mercury. IF they do release it *sigh*... Some kind of announcement would sure make the wait more bearable.
Which Android phone?

@Bla1ze any chance to have Umi again on board with some comments? Is he still with Mobile Nations?
It was always a good reading going through his interpretation of the results
Posted via the CrackBerry App for Android
If you can convince Umi to talk about anything other than Tesla, sure. I won't speak for Umi, but it's not hard to see BBRY hasn't been on his radar for over a year now.
Ah yes, Telsa motors and Elon Musk. The P.T. Barnum of the electric car world. Great hustler but their is one big cash crunch coming. That's one stock you don't want to be around.
Posted via CB10
Lol.. I will try with some tweets but something from your comment is telling me it won't be easy :)
Posted via the CrackBerry App for Android
Will they announce that the hardware is profitable? As BlackBerry abuser is all I care.. It means more devices..
As BlackBerry stockholder I am interested in the overal results and how much they made out of the licensing, athoc deals and general BES and Good sales.. Fingers crossed...
Posted via the CrackBerry App for Android
I'm sorry to say they announced another loss on hardware & are winding down all internal hardware development.
Hardware (phones, radar) now break even?

at this point idec anymore LOL preordered my iphone7
Why would anyone otrder an iPhone 7. I really don't get it.
Posted via CB10
Sadly, iFone has more recent Blackberry software updates than BB10 devices.
So what? It's still worse!
Posted via CB10
Why would they not?
My wife just did, was able to trade her two year old iPhone 6 in for a new iPhone 7..... for only the cost of the sales taxes. So why not upgrade for what is basically free?
Personally I'm not ready for the constrained ecosystem, but I will admit that the hardware functions very well and things just work on an iPhone... and most developers seem to favor it.
Headphone jack, that's why?
Posted via CB10
For some, yes. For others that's not a deal breaker. I personally wouldn't like to give up my headphone jack but I think it's inevitable. I'm sure most devices in the next 3 years will eliminate the 3.5mm jack.
Granted you have the option to use the lightning adapter but for someone like me who watches Netflix on their phone while at work I generally have the earphones and the charger plugged in. Wireless charging would solve that problem, though.
