The future of what was until recently a titan in the world of smartphones starts to look worse than we imagined. A hope of a better deal than the already received by Fairfax Financial , the value of BlackBerry in the market continues to decline, which could make the sale of the company for parts.
Since BlackBerry announced its latest quarterly financial results, with losses of almost a billion dollars and a 40% reduction in the number of employees worldwide (about 4,500 layoffs), the news about the company seem to go from bad to worse, and this is a real shame because it is a pioneer in mobile intelligent security expert.
After Fairfax Financial announced his interest to take over BlackBerry for about 4.7 billion dollars, the company run by Thorsten Heins decided to leave that job “on hold” because they have up to six weeks of time to decide, and find a better alternative, knocking on doors of other manufacturers and other large companies to see if any were interested in acquiring BlackBerry and outbid of Fairfax.

executives have contacted Samsung, Intel and even Cisco, with the goal of finding the highest bidder to do with the company. Unfortunately none seems to have a good answer. Now, reports Bloomberg , the situation worsens for BlackBerry, since time has become his worst enemy .

While looking for a highest bidder and held pending the supply of Fairfax, their actions have not stopped falling in the bag, and therefore the value of the company in the market has decreased. This could make Fairfax Financial to rethink your purchase, or at least the amount of it, and it would be a worse outcome for BlackBerry. The possible solution to this serious problem would be on two factors:
OK
- definitely supply 4.7 billion dollars, if still retains Fairfax Financial.

The second “solution”, however, would be incredibly drastic and especially regrettable. It would mean the definitive end BlackBerry , as each stakeholder would take a piece of cake, since their patents, until services and corporate platforms , which in fact, several companies and have shown particular interest in these two segments or Canadian company’s products. These are the products that have made it big it was, so the interest is understandable, especially when regarding security still has no equal.
was recently announced that BlackBerry will start a new venture, a path led to corporate services multiplatform, and certainly is a road which could have much future. It would be very unfortunate that BlackBerry is sold for parts and disappear, especially when it starts to paint a new future dedicated to services and solutions. No choice but to be attentive to this story, and see how it ends.
