BlackBerry give up mobile phones businesses, will focus on enterprise software development-BlackBerry, Priv, enterprise software-IT information
As far as phoneArena reports, investment banking analyst at TD Securities dannier·Chen (Daniel Chan) thought that the BlackBerry as a manufacturer of "doomsday". Dannier·Chen said that the BlackBerry on the Mobile World Congress last month released cheap Android phone, is that it will be a signal to exit the hardware business. BlackBerry in November last year released the first Android mobile phone BlackBerry Priv.
Priv comes as a low-end Android code-named Vienna mobile phone spy photos leaked online. Spy photos show it has a QWERT keyboard, but unlike the Priv sliding design. John s. Chen, Chief Executive of BlackBerry (John Chen) said in January that the company will release new Android phone later this year, but that serve as the last time I′d hear BlackBerry messages to release new Android phones this year.
Facebook, WhatsApp will stop supporting BlackBerry this year 10 platform. Because Vienna is allegedly running Android BlackBerry development only one by one new phone, BlackBerry is not developing new BlackBerry 10 phones. PhoneArena said, but dannier·Chen believes that by fully and swiftly out of the hardware business, the BlackBerry will transform into a revenue of $ 1.4 billion a year (about 9.1 billion yuan), the margins of 33% enterprise software companies, research and development spending will be reduced by half. Dannier·Chen pointed out that abandoned the hardware business will make the BlackBerry better than the current situation.
BlackBerry plans April 1 released fiscal fourth-quarter earnings. 31% BlackBerry sales are expected to decline on Wall Street, a loss per share of 9 cents (about 0.56 Yuan).
PhoneArena said if BlackBerry this week not to disclose future strategy amid hopes that it can disclose at least Priv mobile phone sales, and determine whether the BlackBerry turned to Android strategy is successful, it will retain the hardware business.
传黑莓放弃
手机业务，将专注企业软件开发 - 黑莓,Priv,企业软件 - IT资讯
据phoneArena网站报道，投资银行TD Securities分析师丹尼尔·陈(Daniel Chan)认为，黑莓作为硬件厂商的“大限已到”。丹尼尔·陈说，黑莓在上个月的世界移动通信大会上没有发布低价Android手机，是它将退出硬件业务的一个信号。黑莓去年11月发布了首款Android手机黑莓Priv。
Priv发布之际，一款代号为Vienna的低端Android手机谍照泄露到了网上。谍照显示它配有QWERT键盘，只是不像Priv那样采用滑动设计。黑莓首席执行官程守宗(John Chen)1月份表示，该公司今年晚些时候将发布新款Android手机，但这成为外界最后一次听到黑莓今年要发布新款Android手机的消息。
Facebook、WhatsApp将于今年停止支持黑莓10平台。由于据称运行Android的Vienna是黑莓在开发的唯一一款新手机，黑莓没有在开发新款黑莓10手机。phoneArena表示，但丹尼尔·陈认为，通过完全、迅速地退出硬件业务，黑莓将转型为一家年营收14亿美元(约合人民币91亿元)、利润率达33%的企业软件公司，研发支出也将削减一半。丹尼尔·陈指出，抛弃硬件业务将使黑莓处境好于目前。
黑莓计划于4月1日发布第四财季财报。华尔街预计黑莓营收将同比下滑31%，每股亏损合9美分(约合人民币0.56元)。
phoneArena称，如果黑莓本周不披露未来的战略，外界希望它至少能披露Priv手机销量，并据此判断黑莓转向Android的战略是否成功，它是否会保留硬件业务。
