1. We have been seeing articles like this for years, every new phone is the BlackBerry killer, really getting sick of it and wish the media would realize RIM is here to stay, what most dont understand is that RIM is a company over 20 years old, is very good at what they do and are focused in their relentless quest to become a major player.

2. RIM is very clever and is on the cutting edge of technology, they are pure innovators, and with every new product they think about how they can improve the product not just the bottom line, How many phones does Nokia have that all do the same damn thing but look ever so slightly different? Its the phones that stand out that will sell in the future (cosmetically, and technical features)

3. Microsoft has a long history of fumbling in the handheld market, I dont see any change to this in their behaviour, they still dont have a true end to end solution and I belive this is why BlackBerry will always be the premium brand.

Besides Microsoft will always have to copy someone!
