RIM has been doomed for a while now. Apple wasnt a huge threat. Android is where they started to lose. They stopped inovating, and if anything regressed. My first blackberry was rock solid. It did 2 things great: handled email and made calls. I can't remember the model number, but it was a monochrome w an indiglo back light. Battery would even last a whole week with constant usage. Each blackberry i had after that (maybe a total of 8 models) got progressively worse. More unstable, less battery life. Messages wouldnt be received or sent. Got bad enough at one point, i threw one against a wall while at a pub because the POS wouldnt work at a critical time.
