BlackBerry has today announced the formation of a special committee that will “explore strategic alternatives” for the company to increase its value and speed in BlackBerry 10 deployment. These alternatives include, but aren’t limited to, new partnerships and joint ventures, possible mergers or a sale of the company.

This move, according to a company release, is focused on evaluating the best long-term approach for BlackBerry’s continued operation, and on “delivering long-term value for customers and shareholders.”

BlackBerry President and CEO Thorsten Heins added:

“We continue to see compelling long-term opportunities for BlackBerry 10, we have exceptional technology that customers are embracing, we have a strong balance sheet and we are pleased with the progress that has been made in our transition.
