sell it with revenue flowing thru to BBRY; this relationship is for the BB10;

product is expected to come out March, April timeframe. Probably more April than
March; will be the 83G device; will focus in Asian region at the beginning.
Asked about sub count: says there is some volatility to the number; says last
couple of quarters it has been consistent and would use that low to mid teens
decline as a model... expects conversion rates to pick up moving
forward.Reiterates it has over $3 bln in cash which it believes will allow it
to turnaround the co..Going to focus on doing secure end-to-end offerings on
mobile computing and productivity suites.In touch with VZ, T, and VOD; says they
are interested in it's enterprise segment; on retail side they are still working
on relationships, not able to provide a lot of color on that, says will take
time.For foreseeable future designer in N. America will focus on handset only;
