He's better off holding it. When the company gets bought out he will get more back then selling now.

Who's gonna buy RIM? They don't have anything that anybody wants
That's probably true porky... really it can only get so much worse Investors are going to rise up and demand changes.
The only thing they have that consumers want is secure email. But they own patents and other holdings someone will want
For sure
I'm not sure how the culture is down there at major financial and similar big businesses, but the culture up here is that BB is the device you use if you're professional. Some of it is because of the security and how geared they are towards email and communication, but some is just because they're what the big boys use.
But they're losing the consumer market all together, almost no doubt about that.

My company and where my brother works were all BlackBerry users. We both switched away from BlackBerry. With there constant email outages they can't even properly handle their bread and butter. They have become a mockery among anyone I talk with.
We're talking small companies here though right?
Look at the big ones: RBC and TD Bank employee probably 150,000 people put together, just in Canada. They're exclusively Blackberry, that's not going to change. It's all about security and being professional, and App stores even on the BB are blocked for their employees. They're not going to be switching away from that any time soon. I've had friends with old blackberrys be asked to upgrade to new ones just so they don't look bush-league in front of clients.
Any company that services as many people as Blackberry continues really shouldn't be dropping 70% of its value in 8 months.
People are leaving them in droves. Big companies can't support 2-3 day email outages for to long.
You can currently go into gmail and set it up as secured. All that needs to happen is for Google to release a management server for android and rim will be finished
The BlackBerry management server allows the company full control over the endusers phone. You can add/remove apps and remotely wipe lost phones. With Google buying Motorola I can see it as their next step in world domination
Whatever. I just want that sexy new thin Blackberry Bold with the touch screen and full keyboard, running Android but still holding onto Blackberry Messenger.
Why is that so f'ing much to ask... we've been hearing rumors forever. The big one is it'll happen in February. If that comes and goes, you can hold me to it in this thread that I'll shop elsewhere.
