Blackberry might be partnering with Samsung, for developing an Android smartphone with integrated BlackBerry services. This is in line with the rumors about BlackBerry considering jumping on the Android bandwagon just three days ago.

If true, this won't be the first BlackBerry/Samsung partnership.

Samsung having exclusive rights to use Blackberry security apps, and services is one way for Samsung to make their smartphones more appealing to people who value security and privacy more than the many other Google Android smartphones made by more affordable makers like Oppo, ZTE, Huawei, Xiaomi LG, Micromax, etc which phones are as good, or better than Samsung phones.

Although, loyal Blackberry fans may not use a Google Android phone with Blackberry apps, and services installed on the phone because they feel Android is too commercial, and Android will share their data with Google, and other sites which are affiliated with Google like YouTube, Google Plus, and Gmail.
 
This will be interesting to see how it turns out.
