This is incorrect. It was mostly done in-house, with some outside help.

Mostly? This may depend on perspective. The infrastructure behind the app is definitely in-house, but the UI isn't at all.
Make no mistake, the goal is to sell the company at this point. That is why BBM is suddenly the focus. They know that they aren't going to stay afloat with phone sales. They'll cut to the bone, and beef up one of their main commodities (BBM) until the sale happens.
