Facebook also interested in acquiring BlackBerry


The social network would be interested in buying mobile devices division .

According to reports in The Wall Street Journal, Facebook is reportedly met with representatives of BlackBerry . The meeting with the company of Mark Zuckerberg would have been made with the primary intention of reaching a purchase offer for the division of smartphones.

For now, the U.S. media did not say too much about that meeting . That is, if necessarily imply a clear and direct intention of a transaction, or planning future projects between the two companies .

First was the Fairfax Financial Holdings investment group who submitted a bid , formally . Since there were other circumstances involved - no formal proposals - such as Mike Lazaridis and Douglas Fregin , John Sculley or even Google and Samsung , among others.

The truth is that there is clarity about what will happen with BlackBerry , but must make a decision during the month of November. Finally, in terms of numbers refers BBM company hopes it can make a sale at a minimum of USD $ 4,000 million. Why trying to have your own cellphone company when your brand name facebook is everywhere on everycellphone? make no sense, oh well!

why would facebook need Blackberry when really every cellphone in the world have facebook allready, maybe they trying to help out this cool cellphone to stay alive, I love blackberries and the world does but the smart phones are a problem for bb to function forever, I personally like this cellphone but it needs to have more features and be more faster to download and a much better camera of course
