Standard market dynamics - a fall happens later than predicted, but the fall is much harder than predicted.
Look at the big US market crash in 2008 - the Dow kept going up well after multiple warnings were sounded, but inevitably crashed down, and very hard.
2 word blackberry messenger... as long as RIM has it they will and can still make money... i see no reason why they cannot make a BBM app for android and IOS and then sell it at those respective stores... i know plenty of android and IOS users that wanna chat with BB users...
You're looking at the wrong way - if BB users want to talk to the rest of the world they can install WhatsAppOriginally Posted by yaseenkriel

The same was said about Myspace. I think you underestimate the herd mentality of teenage girls. They'll find a new thing.

I've always wondered why Facebook hasn't released a cool messenger. The current application is okay but it can't replace a good instant messenger.
My daughter have both switched to Whatsapp on their BBs. They use Whatsapp now between other BB users more than they use BBM.
When I asked why, the one said BBM is terrible to use nowadays. I never questioned anything further. I personally moved on long ago.
I found this very interesting (why I still believe there is hope for RIM):

While I wish success for all developers, Cubifice has performed better on Blackberry because there are a million more fun games on Android and not many on Blackberry.
Yep.

Understood. Agree. But there is still hope. The fact that BB10/QNX is so close to Android will bring a lot of apps to BB in a very short time. Keep in mind that Android apps will anyway run on BB10 but they can with little change be made native.
