After Kevin finished up his chat with CNBC earlier today, BlackBerry CEO John Chen was on air to talk a bit more on all of the news from today as well. He started out on the new partnership with Foxconn, stating "I think this is the right partner to do business with together." Chen noted that handset volumes are dropping and fixed costs are too high, so with Foxconn, they are able to get rid of inventory costs -- noting that Foxconn is a "big part of the equation."
Chen went on to say that BES becomes more important now as well as letting customers know that BlackBerry now has a clear direction and financial stability. He affirms that they still have the most secure end-to-end product on the market.
