RIM is rapidly finding it's way into obsolescence. It's still the most "popular" smart phone. But the devices stink by today's standards, and their attempts at an App store and a touch screen have been bombs. Their devices are simply not capable of keeping up with what people want to do on their phones.
I'd wager that they'll come out with an Android device in a year or two before slowly fading into Palm like obscurity.
- nhooey 17y agoRIM clearly has some problems with their OS and library of applications, they both suck. But one thing that's going to stick is their contracts with businesses. Almost every business that deploys devices to their employees issues blackberries, and they make a lot of money off the Business Enterprise Server and integration with Microsoft Exchange. RIM has only recently emphasized the consumer smartphone market, relative to other companies like Nokia and Apple which have only done consumer the entire time they made smartphones. Nobody's going to oust RIM in the business market any time soon.
