A little over a week ago we put up a post about an analyst prediction stating that Research in Motion will move away from the BlackBerry OS for the Symbian OS on the BlackBerry. We actually got quite a few comments on the original post, however, we had a server crash and although we were able to recover the post, were not able to recover the comments.
A week later rumors of about a possible BlackBerry OS swap out are still popping up. Do you think that RIM would kill the BlackBerry OS and move next gen BlackBerrys to Symbian?
Robb,
I think that I was first to comment on this last week and I will say they same thing as I said then. The only way that I could see this happening is if RIM uses Symbian to develop the BlackBerry OS, not actually replace it with what we currently know as the Symbian OS.
