Blackberry likely to be sold by November

Well, well. This is happening a bit quicker than I thought it might. 

 

Blackberry appears to have narrowed down it's list of potential buyers and the WSJ believes the sale will happen pretty quickly.

By the way they have been going recently, this is not a surprise.

Wow. They held out later than I expected.

Please google. You got Motorola, lost Nokia.

Grab this dirt cheap company

The problem I see is that buyers would only want to buy the patents and services. Nobody wants to buy a legacy of unpopular hardware. I'm sure Microsoft would be interested in those patents and services, they're already going for Nokia and they love to spend money.... so why not?

It is very surprising that they were able to sustain that long. Guess that they finally cannot sustain their company and have to sell it.
