I guess what shares of Research in Motion really -- in motion on -- terror in the last few months the Blackberry maker reporting third quarter earnings are after the bell today so.

What you need to know ahead of that release joining us now Jefferies analyst freedom -- -- What are you looking for in particular from -- -- third quarter earnings report today.

Really only a handful of things one -- -- -- cash and we don't think -- well into they lose any subscribers.

We think they probably didn't lose many.

And then thirdly any other details on -- ten other than that put don't think the results matter of the story right now is success or failure PV ten.

Yeah what is the timing of mobile what are you hearing about the Blackberry -- I mean I heard that denies getting some good reviews and how critical is that.

To rims future.

It's make or break really.

They could survive and a smaller form I -- and each player but frankly this is make or break for them and their current form.

We think you're gonna get unveiling January 30 that's in stone I think the device is probably get into people's hands early march.

We suspect.

They're going to be very well reviewed.

I we had a -- Yunnan and healthy unit we are very impressed we thought it was better than any android device in the market.

Frankly we still like -- iPhone 5 better but shows a very good device.

Well you bring up a good point because it really is in the -- -- -- blackberries still a lot of people out there SO upgrading to the Blackberry ten would make more sense wouldn't it.

The ditching it altogether and going with an iPhone 5 or some sort of android -- system so they -- have -- going -- them.

They do have that going for them but there's a little bit of a -- in that enterprise and that.

The existing servers and infrastructure that they use aren't actually compatible with Phoebe -- so.

How they'll actually have if you're an enterprise -- -- have to upgrade to the new server software now -- gonna pay for that and they're gonna help train that still -- but.

Yeah.

I mean it's just another example they have talking of subscribers they have right around what eighty million subscribers I think it is our -- to expect that to go to Ken -- Build on that or is it going to be hard to maintain that level.

I suspect over the next couple.

-- is staying anywhere above seventy million or 75 million would be huge achievement.

As they launch in the -- -- They should be able to rise from not level if there's any success.

Satellite should be one of the big benchmarks will not be successful and happy to very quickly have a hold on this stock what it's gonna make you put out a -- Statement on this.

Well either buyer -- you know my name the ability for us to fear of the probability of success of this device that we think the probability is going to be higher.

Then we'll have to upgrade it frankly and if we think the probability is virtually zero right now put it at 30%.

And watch the downgraded were actually on that knife -- right now yeah it does you say make or break.

Peter mystic but Jefferies thank you so much good stuff appreciate it.

Because think -- right here for.
