A Pinball Wizard posted:how the gently caress is bbry still in business? once companies get big enough they can continue to exist for years and years purely on accounting tricks and sheer inertia when you're a multibillion dollar global corporation you've got real estate assets all over the world you can sell/lease back to yourself, investment securities and stock to raise more capital with, countries that will give you tax breaks to simply not fire more of their citizens, existing contracts with other companies that still pay out for years no matter how bad you are it's magical really

Chen did say they are looking at dual sim tech, but added he could not discuss...hmmm. The dual sim would perfect the balance feature!
