RIM Says BB7 Devices Won't Be Updated to BB10
Wasn't BB7 just recently released?
BB7 won't go away overnight anyway. Since BB10 needs new phones to run on it, I would say there could be a transition period of up to a year as new models come out.

It's not like they are misleading anyone, they said flat out from day one that they won't be able to be upgraded to Blackberry 10.

Does this mean that when I am ready to upgrade in 15 more months or so that Blackberry's will not be an option?
I guess I am all confused on this.

Why does this matter? I am a long term Blackberry Customer (Consumer) but if they are going to Business Customers only, why does it matter?

The Folks at Crackberry were thinking that it wasn't possible to totally concentrate on business customers and abandon the consumer market. Back before the iPhone was introduced I remember windows mobil, Palm, and RIM smartphones being available through business and consumer channels with carriers.
How do you de-consumerize a smartphone anyway? Do you pull the cameras out of them, strip them of ...
