For RIM to have any chance at being the market leader once again they must do what the iPhone did to the mobile industry back when it was first introduced. Anything under that just means a slower death.

What could it be? I believe making a phone itself is useless at this point. Why not look in to Pranav Mistry's SixthSense? Something of this caliber is what is needed to make the 'next big thing'. Competing in Apple/Google playing field is futile, a new field is needed.

Although I had high hopes for RIM (ex bb user), I highly doubt their execs are even in this mindset^^^.

For years RIM has mistreated their customers. They real "customers" are the businesses who buy phones for their employees and not the employee themselves. That is what has hurt them the most.

BB10 is their last hope of survival. So far I have not see anything ground breaking with this phone and being the first model it is likely to be far from perfect. If their latest BB10 phone does not match Samsung Galaxy S3 in specs I would say it is pretty useless.
