There seems to be a lot of debate based on emotion with remarkably little fact.
Many corporations are moving to a bring-your-own smartphone policy. My organization did exactly that recently, and no new Blackberry has been purchased in some time: We have the BES server and the plans, but users don't want to carry some deadweight blackberry and the Android or iPhone smartphone that they also carry. With Exchange Web Services, the whole BES thing seems like such an anachronism anyways.
- mattmaroon 16y agoDecrying an argument for lacking facts and then replying with an anecdote is hypocritical.
- rbanffy 16y agoHe is right many companies are switching to a bring-your-own-smartphone policies. We haven't issued a Blackberry in quite some time and stuff like IMAP and OWA make it easy to make just about any cleverphone functional. The issue is dominance. Once a new player enters the segment, it's a question of time until it fragments. Blackberry enjoyed a dominant position for a long time but being the #1 corporate-issue phone is not important in a world where more and more people bring their own phones into their jobs.
