More recently their purchase of QNX. It is pretty popular in RTOS circles, car entertainment systems and the like. I guess they could make sure of that somehow? And maybe some of their enterprise business stack? It does seem kind of strange though yeah.

Recently? That was in 2010 (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mergers_and_acquisiti...)

Also, I don't think the OP would call buying companies "doing something". Looking at http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackBerry_(company)#Strategi..., a cynic would say it has been busy surviving while looking for a buyer.
