As a Blackberry user for more than a decade for work, I can't wait for the company to fold and to be moved to a modern Android/iOS device fast enough.
Don't get me wrong, for basic text based communication, snapping a couple of crappy pictures and videos, and checking some html based email, it works well enough. If that's all you need for work, it'll do the job.
Web surfing is a painful experience. Screen is too tiny. Forget about decent image quality from the camera. And apps? What are those?
Sure, the Blackberry was the cat's meow in 2000-2006. Too bad Rim has shown little ability to keep up with demand for technology advances and application support since that era.
The keystone is the security of the BBM service. As soon as a 3rd party vendor gets it's act together and develops a high level security application for Android and iOS with worldwide coverage to allow the same seamless integration Rim has, it's game over for the Blackberry.
