Blackberry
just achieved a new milestone, receiving a record order of 1 million
handsets from one of its partners. This is the largest order it has ever
received, and is a boon for the company that has put a lot of effort
into revamping itself after a string of bad luck. Not surprisingly, the
company’s shares took a big jump after the announcement.
The
only information supplied provided is that the order came from an
established partner, but Blackberry declined specifying what it means by
such a statement or who that partner is. In addition to carriers,
Blackberry supplies devices for both corporations and governments
agencies, although the number that use its handsets declined
dramatically in 2012.
Said
Blackberry’s Executive Vice President of Global Sales Rick Costanzo,
“An order for 1 million devices is a tremendous vote of confidence in
BlackBerry 10. Consumers are ready for a new user experience, and
BlackBerry 10 delivers. With strong partner support, coupled with this
truly re-invented new platform, we have a powerful recipe for success.”
Bloomberg,
which is reporting on the story, reached out to the major carriers –
Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint – none of which offered a statement about
whether they were involved in the transaction. While the latter two
declined commenting, Verizon hasn’t yet given a comment either way. The
announcement resulted in an 8.2-percent jump in shares.
