BlackBerry CEO John Chen suggests that if their upcoming Priv phone flops, they may give up on hardware.

Speaking at the Code/Mobile conference, Chen indicated that he might pivot BlackBerry to focus entirely on providing security software to other mobile and server platforms. Chen still wants the Priv to find a following, since hardware design has been part of BlackBerry from its inception, but he’s not betting the entire farm on this single product.
 
I love my blackberries. Security is the reason why I wont use apple or android. I'm a little paranoid being in the tech field.
 
If I wasn't stuck having to use an iPhone for work, I'd be looking at the Priv for sure. Looks interesting, but don't like 2 phones.
