RIM to Renew Focus on the Enterprise
Stick a fork in RIM- they're done.
RIM is an embarrassment. They have literally no competitive advantage left aside from legacy security and network efficiency (which matters in developing countries, not so much here.)
"Sent from my Blackberry" is something you only see coming from large bureaucratic institutions where mid-level managers cling to their desks. I don't know of anybody who matters at any company I work with who still uses a Blackberry. The enterprise is rapidly switching to iOS (especially after the huge BB outages last year) , and no way in hell will RIM get them back.
What a damn shame. They had everything right. Then the Storm came out.

Those advantages will keep them around worldwide until a competitor can do them better.
I love Apple and have many of their products but they have too many obvious shortcomings for me to keep an iPhone. I can't stand how much it wants to fight my Apple desktop for POP email access or it's closed ecosystem that keeps it from being customized to my liking.
RIM is probably irrelevant to North American users, but not the rest of the world at this point in time.
Yea, I know things can change quickly in this world

In 2011 RIM sold 50 MILLION Blackberry handsets worldwide....if that is a company on the brink of bankruptcy I only wish I could be doing that poorly....

Well said. Just because RIM's US market share is now dwarfed by Android and IOS, doesn't mean they are done. A lot of us here in the US especially don't look beyond what our friends and coworkers have in our little part of the world.

RIM has a lot of cash and time to burn through before they really are done. Far more than Palm had a few years ago
