What happens to your BlackBerry now?

[MarcP]

RIM lost an important case to a patent troll yesterday. Ordered to pay almost $150 millions. They're picking at the carcass already.

Salvation?

Research In Motion has already confirmed plans to launch its first BlackBerry 10 smartphones in the first quarter of the next year, but it left us in dark when it came to unveiling what these devices would look like.

However, a series of concept devices already made it on the web, providing a glimpse at what enthusiasts dream of when it comes to the next-generation BlackBerry smartphones.

They are kinda late with BB OS 10.

They are putting all their bets and the future of the company on one product: BBX10. It better deliver.

Unless the world really is ending this year, it is never too late.

Had to get rid of my Bold 9000 in March, due to my daughter accidentally knocking it into a sink full of dish water...I had it a long time, and never had any issues at all. I looked at several different phones, (Android, iPhone and Windows), and walked out with a shiny new Curve 9360. I have no regrets at all. For me at least, as long as there are Blackberry's, I'll continue to use them.

And I can't wait until I can dump my BB Curve. Hate that phone.

Never too late but still late IMO.

From 2009 to 2011 almost every single person i saw had Blackberries.
Now i can say that at least half of them have switched and i see the trend spreading fast, i doubt Blackberry can get em back with BB OS X. The main selling point for Blackberries here was JUST Blackberry Messenger, seriously everyone wanted them just to chat, now everyone is migrating to WhatsApp and other apps but mainly WhatsApp, it's cross platform compatibility makes it the favorite choice.

RIM got fed up with success. . .

If this news is true, I expect this to be followed by the announcement of a buyer.

Not looking good, they have already fired tons of employees and now here comes another.

Now they're closing their Blackberry stores.

Tic tac tic tac... Isn't it a matter of time?

Everyone should be abandoning the ship, it's sinking faster than ever.
BB OS X? Forget it.
