I agree on the drank their own Kool-aid thing. I have a friend at RIM and I've been trying to tell her RIM is in danger since 2009. But back then RIM was still breaking their own revenue records every quarter, but that was obviously a matter of inertia Internationally that they've got because of their years of popularity in US. But they should've seen that that advantage will only be temporary, unless they release some products that can really compete with the iPhone and Android phones.
But they never did. Even in early 2010 (before their sales started crashing down) RIM was pretty much "worry-free" according to my friend working there. This was clearly a matter of vision and leadership failure.
