<h2>[WHY]</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>] ON the 80/20 prognosis for the company survival</strong> (he offered up in a previous interview)</li>
<li>] ill stay with that, dont want to say 100%</li>
<li>] we are a viable company, strong balance sheet, lots of cash</li>
<li><strong>] where does the 20 come from, what give you any doubts?</strong></li>
<li>] world could change, markets could change</li>
<li>] dont want people to focus on the 20</li>
<li>]</li>

<li>] 3 buckets, adding it all together i believe we can get to 100M in revenue with BBM</li>
<li><strong>] how long will you keep selling phones(hardware)</strong></li>
<li>] if i make money on phones i will sell it forever</li>
<li>] we want to be an end to end mobile security solution</li>
<li>] phones are the gateway</li>
<li>] we encrypted it differently, ip from certicon that makes it the most secure devices</li>
<li><span style="background-color: #ffff99;">] in the internet of the future, not everything needs to be like a phone you and I think of today, it might be a device collecting and emitting signals and acting upon it</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: #ffff99;">] on the device side of the equation I believe we are going to be there a long, long time</span></li>
<li>] getting very close to break even, we use to lose a lot of money on phones, we need a couple more quarters</li>
<li><strong>] ON partnering with amazon app store, why partner with Amazon and NOT google play <br /></strong></li>
<li>] amazon and blackberry have a lot in common,&nbsp;</li>
<li>] they like our bb10 base, we work well together</li>
<li><span style="background-color: #ffff99;">] not going to exclude everthing or anything</span></li>
<li>] helped us to address one of our major needs, i need apps,</li>
<li>] some of them are consumer, some of them are prosumer</li>
<li>] help me to focus my efforts on enterprise apps,</li>
<li>] help me to build my base of consumer apps</li>
<li>] its a great thing we did it</li>
<li><strong>] Blackberry is NOT for sale, what could change that?</strong></li>
<li>] not seeking offers, if somebody puts a number on the table, I would have to look at it</li>
<li>] if you offered me $100 a share, I would probably call you back!</li>
