I personally find him to be a pro, a gentleman. I like his engineer approach to problem solving and everyone pretty much agrees he pulled off a miracle with the balance sheet.
To be fair, Chen started with a fairly strong balance sheet. THE only reason why Blackberry has survived this long and has a chance to reivent itself is because former management always ran a very conservative balance sheet with more cash than debt....Chen has done the tough things like down sizing the company to match decreasing cash flows. Now he has to turn sales and cash flow around.
I believe the deals with Samsung and Google/Android and making a Blackberry that will also run Android will eventually result in more hardware sales, and re introduce the consumer to Blackberry.
I have no doubt that Blackberry's OS is the best available for consumers as well as enterprise. When Blackberry becomes cool again, and catches fire with consumers, its rise will be meteoric.....
