There is life after death. Blackberry has very strong name recognition abroad, so if BB can come up with a competitive smartphone, there is a chance it get a decent market share. After all, they were king in a pass life.

Rimm isn't exiting the low end market when BB10 arrives. Where do people come up with this stuff?

They will spin it negatively anyway they can. If RIM doesn't make high-end BB10, they will say RIM is short-sighted and therefore dead. If RIM does make high-end phones, they will say RIM is neglecting the low-end market and therefore dead.

IMO shorts are grasping for straws at this point.

analysts are looking after their own interests and these comments are just an attempt to influence the market unfortunately RIM's performance or lack of have made them very vulnerable

very good point, that is why RIM needs an OEM partner to build low end BB10 devices because of the lower margins

" Tero Kuittinen warns RIM's current focus on developing high-end BlackBerry 10 models could put these sales at risk"

lol. How funny is that? Just as funny as the MS analyst saying there is ZERO interest in BB10 for developers. heheh.

We must thank these analysts. If not for their relentless bashing, we could not buy RIM at such low prices. Of course, these were the same geniuses who were screaming "buy" near the top. I wonder when they finally issued a "sell" on RIM? How far had it fallen?

RIM is not developing high-end handsets. They are going to release SIX handsets for BB10: low, mid, high - each in a full touchscreen and qwerty keyboard model. Heins realized he cannot compete on the low end with the giant, thus there will be a licensing deal not too long from now, so that RIM can flood the rest of the world with low-end BB10 handsets.

Android is VERY vulnerable to BB10. There is no loyalty to android as there is with apple. Ecosystem? What's so great about google's so-called ecosystem? BB10 runs all android apps in emulation (and is child's play for developers to port to) and has real multitasking, all 100% secure. No other handset can boast those features. Bottom line: BB10 is a vastly superior unix-based o/s versus android now that RIM has put the time and money into whipping it into a multitasking, realtime, mobile computing o/s.

I think you are very right Android is the one that could be vulnerable. As an Apple and RIM shareholder I hope we're right.

was it just a conincidence that the consortium that bought the Nortel patents (Apple, Microsoft, RIM and others) did not include Google?
