Something else to consider since pip310 brought it up. In Japan (where the PiP is more popular or has higher sales), Blackberry OS's market share is so miniscule that it doesnt even get its own bar on the graph: source: StatCounter Global Stats - Browser, OS, Search Engine including Mobile Market Share
Isn't StatCounter a browser tracking cookie company? My laptop is configured to discard their cookies. I am not sure how that correlates with how many people are using a particular platform. Particularly with the networking configuration used by Blackberries, with pretty much all traffic going through either RIM or corporate servers.
My use of Blackberry has nothing to do with my employer. The e-mail and messaging functionality is what I personally like about my Blackberry, and that actually works fine between my Blackberry and my PiP. I have an old Droid for apps that I want that are not available on Blackbery (like the PlugIn Apps). Blackberry is indeed having issues in the U.S. (they are doing fine in other countries), but they are not dead quite yet.
I'm sorry but anyone who thinks Blackberry isn't dead is just delusional. They are done. As is Nokia, by the way, unless they turn their act around real fast — which they are trying to do with their MS partnership, but that has yet to bear any real fruit. But let's not turn this thread into an endless discussion of platform superiority, because we all know how those turn out.
... and the moderator (properly) closes the thread for being off topic and issues sanctions for improper behavior. Religious wars over phone platforms should be conducted elsewhere
