And the new phone has the paratek antenna, this is going to be close

So the new antenna is what will save BlackBerry?

No fiscal discipline, and execution. Battery life on the new 5" phone is a couple days. Maybe the tunable radio helps. App gap is closing, unity ports, android, bloomberg is now on it. Maps suck. I don't know if they'll make it, aka survive, it is going to be close.

Edit,I don't know if the app gap is closing. But probably not.

BB is beyond fiscal discipline IMO.

It's pretty clear they'll be gutted and sold for parts at this point. They're trying to lose weight before the fashion show.
