BlackBerry belies its withdrawal from the market


In relation to the evil moment of RIM the rumors speak about a purchase on the part of Nokia and Microsoft, or directly about a retreat of the market; and the company went out to deny the second thing.

They happen the months and RIM does not manage to go out of the storm with a course that does not stop being defined. The reports do not do any more that to return negative numbers, such it is so the first quarter of 2012 brought a setback of 19 % in comparison to the previous one. In addition a clear loss of 125 brought $ millions of dollars.

And while on the one hand they lose increasingly area on the corporate market, still they do not have the exit of the BlackBerry decisive 10 with that they expect to attract for the domestic user. The point is that so many Android since iOS has could be positioned very well for both segments, and then the specific offers are those that lose his attraction.

And if something abounds in moments of crisis they are the rumors, which are promoted by situations as the item of Jim Balsille, co-founder of the Canadian signature, and whom historical others decided to accompany.

One of the strongest at this moment is the possible pass of the company to Nokia's hands and Microsoft, from conversations that would have been taken again after the unsuccessful attempt at the end of 2011.

According to the come out ones, Nokia would stay at the expense of the interface of the operating system while Microsoft would be the person in charge of assuming the course of the managerial service, beginning with the integration of the servants Exchange on the service BES (BlackBerry Enterprise Server).

But "the" "strongest" of the rumors is the one that indicates that RIM directly would leave the consumer market, leaving his users to to drift. Opposite to this the people of press of the signature spread a communiqué that says the following thing:

In relation to the advertisement of RIM's results last Thursday, we want to share with you the following thing:
