Don't worry, BlackBerry fans: Your favorite smartphone with that keyboard you love is sticking around for the time being.
But that's not what BlackBerry is about anymore.
"Everything we're doing is to bring solutions for our enterprise customers," said John Sims, one of BlackBerry's chief lieutenants, at the wireless industry's trade show in Las Vegas this week.
Sims, who heads up BlackBerry's business and government division, said BlackBerry (BBRY, Tech30)believes it can still make money in the device business from its niche of loyal users -- the ones "that are still holding together, with bubble gum or tape or whatever, their BlackBerry Bolds.
Its focus, however, will be providing software and services to business customers, particularly those in heavily regulated sectors like finance and insurance that demand top-notch security.
