    We have already see the ghost of BlackBerry future.
    It was a post you wrote about Windows Phone and BlackBerry a long time ago.

    I initially laughed at this joke of a post. Now it feels like the
    future. How quickly RIM is failing. This has been a very sad year.

    As a BB admin for the first time my team is being asked find an
    alternative to BB in the event there is a major change to the landscape.
    BES has been a given and only option at my company. Our CIO wants
    another option as we have major security concerns with the BBX/QNX
    platform. More critical we don’t know the future of the company.

    We are no looking at Windows Phone and iOS to see how much we can lock
    down the devices and secure communication as an alternative to BB. By
    the end of May must support viable alternatives. Over 45,000 users will
    get an alternative and we have roughly 15,000 that are currently
    eligible or will be eligible for an upgrade by June 1.

    The future is dark…very dark. I think we will see a major switch at
    our company as we will announce in 2 weeks we are looking at
    alternatives to BlackBerry.

      It really is sad to see the toll that arrogance, lack of vision, and poor management has taken on Research in Motion. 

      I’ve been blogging about BlackBerry devices for 8 years, and, today, I find myself hard pressed to recommend a BlackBerry device to a new smartphone consumer unless they work for a company that uses BES. 

      Comments like yours are making even qualified recommendations of BlackBerry Devices difficult.

    Don’t blame CEO, they want RIM win.
     
    RIM has strange culture and self distruct political environment.
     
    In RIM if a new hired person figure out major problem and introduce efficient approach, both manager and his buddy group member will proof their wrong approach works. just like someone point out driving a car is right way, pushing a car is wrong way, then both manager and his buddy group member will hate you, and proof that 3 person can also move the car by pushing it. cheating email will be sent to some vice president, saying like: see, the car moving, pushing a car is a natural part of the process, in order to deny new hired contribution of introducing skill of drive a car, they have to deny merit of driving a car.
     
    It is very strange company culture and strange company political environment, it promote stealing and cheating skill. RIM’s management may be a typical instance in MBA course.
     
    This culture deny or steal hardworking team members’ contribution/innovation, generate strange political environment, destroy RIM.
     
    So don’t blame CEO, some of their VPs and VPs’ expert generate terrible culture and self destruct political environment.
