BlackBerry’s surviving, but not as a smartphone company

It’s been almost a year since John Chen was appointed to save Blackberry and it’s clear that his grand plan has, at least, stopped the company losing money hand over fist. In the Canadian outfit’s latest three month report, it reveals that losses have been trimmed from $4.4 billion last year to a much more manageable $148 million. Of course, it’s clear that as the business reinvents itself as a software-and-services company, manufacturing smartphones has increasingly become a side project.

Pretty amazing turnaround financially, but I doubt it’ll be enough for the future of Blackberry OS – even if the company itself survives.

I still want the red Passport, though.
