Morgan Stanley puts a halt on BlackBerry 10 upgrade

Morgan Stanley is holding out on upgrading its employees BlackBerry smartphones to the latest operating system, BlackBerry 10, available on the BlackBerry Q10 and the BlackBerry Z10, Bloomberg reported. This shows an extreme lack of confidence in BlackBerry’s ability to support the operating system in the future, which is understandable. Earlier this month BlackBerry announced that it is considering a sale, and the company can’t seem to move any of its latest devices off of store shelves. For now Morgan Stanley will stick to its older BlackBerry 7 devices until the company’s future becomes more clear.
