BlackBerry Ltd. signalled on Tuesday that a licensing deal, or even an outright sale of the company, was still a possibility, pleasing shareholders still reeling from the disappointing debut for its new line of smartphones. Chief Executive Thorsten Heins, responding to a question about whether he was looking into strategic alternatives, said he is open to all options that create value for shareholders. He emphasized that the company has so far focused on creating value through the launch of its new devices powered by an allnew BlackBerry 10 operating system. “This is a long-term transition for the company, but I can assure you that we’re pushing very hard,” Heins said at the company’s annual shareholder meeting. His remarks that BlackBerry was also open to any and all licensing opportunities, sent shares higher in morning trading. |

Glad they recognise that their options are narrowing, at least maybe they can strike a deal with some other company that will keep BlackBerry services running for some time to come. |

Time will tell . . . I think they could have done better if the prices of their phones were not that high and releasing in phase was a bad idea as well, marketing in the USA was horrible too with the fact that most of the sales people in the USA market were not even trained on the phones. |
