"But however much they try to save this company, it is damn sure that they have no chance to survive at all and RIM is finally going to be a dead company"

RIM could have implemented the plan that Balsillie put forward for converting the company to a services model based on BBM and dumping the handset business. That would be showing results by now, instead of rumored headcount reductions, RIM would be posting their first positive financial results in a while.
Oh well. Won't be too long before the market will force RIM to unload the handset business. I just hope BBM is still viable as a business model at that point.

They might be around in five years...ten I don't think so. The best bet for the stockholders of RIM is a sell of it to MS, Google, or Apple. All three of them should fight over their patents for their BBM software right now. In 10 years though no one will care enough for it.
