RIM losing the smartphone market is not an argument for producing an enterprise-only psuedophone. You need to provide an argument as to why your suggestion is the best course of action, rather than simply saying "it's the most different from what they're doing right now." Making footballs would also be different, but not in a good way. I think your proposal would be disastrous, for the reasons I specified. That doesn't mean I think their current strategy will work.

It's the best course of action because they are clear leaders in the enterprise sector. Fortune 500 companies love blackberries and the BES server. They love the control, they love the security. They do not want their employees going out to buy their own devices and then conducting business on them. Governments are even more concerned about this. They will willingly pay to offer their employees phones that allow their employees to communicate yet ensure they remain in overall control. In this situation, Blackberry doesn't need an app world. They don't need touch screens. They don't need safari web browsers.
