BlackBerry CEO Chen says he will continue rebuilding the equipment business as best he can.

Summary: BlackBerry CEO Chen said they would not enter the field if the handset business was not profitable. The BlackBerry will focus on investment or co-operation in medical, financial and legal services, and does not preclude the acquisition of small companies to strengthen the BlackBerry's housekeeping

BlackBerry CEO Chen said, "If the handset business is not profitable, they will not enter the field." "The BlackBerry will focus on investment or co-operation in medical, financial and legal services, and not rule out the acquisition of small companies to strengthen BlackBerry's housekeeping skills, because services such as medical, financial and legal are very much in need of safety in communication." Referring to BBM, he said: "We are not going to fight against WhatsApp." We will focus on safe communication and secure communication. ”

But today he clarified the news on the BlackBerry official blog, saying the Reuters report was somewhat out of context.

I guarantee that we will not sell or cut off this business in the short term. At this stage we will focus on making a profit on this business.

BlackBerry is not a simple equipment company. We provide end-to-end solutions that are only part of the device, Enterprise Services and software, and communications are cash flows outside of the device. We are also investing in Machine-to-machine (Machine to Machine) technology, providing support for the internet of things.

We will continue to rebuild our equipment business as far as we can, and retain the iconic keyboard and other functions.
