BlackBerry’s problems have been headline news for a number of years now, and even after a major refresh under the leadership of John Chen there’s still no sign of profit for the company. Now it sounds like there could be a deadline on making BlackBerry profitable before it quits handsets altogether.
Speaking at the Code/Mobile conference BlackBerry CEO John Chen said the possibility of future phones beyond the Priv would depend on the “business case”.
Chen said, “I’m in the handset business because I believe there’s value added and a market that is underserved.”
