Strategy? CRASH AND BURN BABY!!! J/K I'll play with BB 10 and take it from there..

This will be the tipping point. The inability to for RIM to compete at the level they have in the past will only get worse if they do not reinvent themselves. They do not have to give up who they are, just the way they approach business. They can do it, especially with as many loyal fans they still have. But, boy is it an uphill fight.

Give it up guys, lets someone buy you and take the nice parting gifts and go work for someone else.

What's their strategy? Sell of all their shares while they run the company into the ground until it's cheap enough to be bought be some other company?

Mmmm this might be a good idea.. Looking at the pattern RIm stocks raise last week due to rumors that samsung will be buying them (not True btw). With this kind of strategy they could win some time and get the shareholder to invest more so they could start the way up. I dont know if it will work but RIM still have ways out of the situation they are right now. I hope they put some tech behind the phones as they are last OS among windows IOS and Android

Huh. It finally happened. They were probably asked to step down. Now let's see if BB10's release schedule can get pushed up.

RIM is gone. Q3 for BB10 devices is ridiculous. iPhone 5, ICS Devices and WP8 sound a lot better.

2012 will be the last year that you will hear the word "blackberry mobile"

Guys. Don´t you understand?

RIM is cool for corporate.

I just bought a 64GB Playbook for 299 from their online store & this tablet is ok for me...

Also the company I works for bought me a 9900 for corporate use... I have my Galaxy S2 I9100, but the Playbook/9900 Combo is very classy...

I´m an Android Fanboy, but I have to admit that QNX is smooth & sweet.

New CEO means no change for RIM they need too seriously change their hard ware if they want too keep up with today tech.
