RIM is holding out in order to sell the company at a good price. I don't see QNX ever coming to a RIM smartphone.

I happen to think you're right on the sale and price, but. I do think they will release a QNX phone, they have no other choice. It may look good now, but, Android, iOS and even WP are evolving too.

Why would a company that is not in any form of debt and has been profitable even when it's been trashed by every news outlet on earth wait to say we will talk after bb10 is released to sell. That makes no sense. Then you go on to say that you don't think that a single device will be released that runs bb10 yet the playbook is technically running that software right now. Talk about not knowing one thing about a company but can make such a bold prediction.

They certainly don't seem very motivated that's for sure.

By the time Q4 comes around and they finally do bring BB10 to market I betcha it won't be quad-core & NFC like Android.

RIM just isn't a very forward moving company. Just like ATT isn't. ATT has the money to move just as fast as Verizon is with LTE, but they conscientiously choose not to.

oops! 😁 spoke too soon!
They are already sending devices loaded with QNX to developers for them to play with very soon in May.

If RIM was interested in a sale, they would have done this more than a year ago with stock much higher. RIM's failure has already ben built into todays price of the stock. It will only go up if there is excitement about QNX later.

RIM #1,#2 and #3 problems can be summarized in one word: Playbook.

RIM rushed out the Playbook too quickly before it was ready...Playbook 1.0 was at best a half finished product, and because of this it didn't sell very well.

But with OS 2.0 it is finally 'ready for prime time' and is in fact a fine product....many analysts have proclaimed it the best tablet on the market....

With the price cut to $199 they sold out quickly....which just goes to show that the main problem was the PRICE...not the merchandise.

If they can find a way to make it halfway profitable at that $199 price, and the Blackberry 10/Playbook integration is as good as they are claiming things will looking up for them late 2012/early 2013.

Amazon has basically never made money on the Kindle hardware, their business plan is to lose money on the hardware, but make up for it by selling content, which is the same business model used (with great success) for the X Box and Playstation.
