He should be fired. He had the chance, several actually.

Blackberry is in the position its currently because the CEO has absolutely no clue what the consumers wants or needs or what made BB loved by people in the past.

One word: prosumer. Whatever the heck that is. He should have done a complete lineup of hardened Androids for the corporate and government set who don't believe in BYOD. Doing that would also have resulted in a much smaller BlackBerry because its products wouldn't be interesting to normal consumers.

Damned one way or another...
