Apple Pushes Past RIM To Become Fourth Largest Phone Maker
Poor RIM--
--on its way to irrelevance. And it's a damn shame, too--I totally dig Blackberry.

Same here, but they are not updating their phones like the other manufacturers. They still do the same thing they did 5 years ago. no evolution honestly. Practicallity is the best, but aesthetics and fun factor are not there.

It's because their handsets are aimed at business people--business people want what works, period. As long as there are business people, RIM will be around. But they've gotta come up with something that properly competes against Android and iOS4.

True, but with Android now supporting coorporate email, a BlackBerry still has very little to offer. As a Sprint rep, I see more and more people and businesses switching to Android. One customer's employer even told him they no longer support BlackBerry and instructed him to get an Android phone (probably because of the extra costs for BES, with Android it's free). The BB Tablet might re-energize BlackBerry but from a personal as well as first hand witness of many customers considering other OSs, I really believe that BlackBerry will have to begin targeting non-business users and step up their hardware as well as their software.

Is it as secure though? That's a big difference to a lot of companies. Sure, there are some companies who don't value security, but most do. Personally I would never do business with a company who runs an insecure network if my information is on that network.

That's where it's no contest: no one comes even close to Blackberry's security.
