Iconic brands like Blackberry have real value.Any company with a Iconic Brand like Blackberry will draw a lot of interest from others. You just don't develope name recognition over night. I suspect this is just the start of a number of new bidders to step forward over the next 3 weeks. Fairfax bid of $9 just won't cut it. Blackberry has the only secure smart phone service to pass scrutiny from the military, the police, government agencies and Fortune 500 companies around the world. With good management, the possibilities for Blackberry are endless..
