RIM's former CEOJim Balsillie also promoted the plan.

The message also said RIM may also sell its network service department. Earlier this year, RIM conducted a strategic evaluation in collaboration with RBV and JP Morgan, and the plan for selling the mobile phone business was one of the evaluation conclusions; another conclusion may be to split the entire RIM company into two parts and sell a large number of shares to Microsoft-level companies.
