I've said it before, I'll say it again - you had a girlfriend in high school. She was your first. You loved her dearly. But. You changed, you got tempted, you,moved away. Whatever.
You see her years later and she's more beautiful than ever. You talk to her : she's more experienced more interesting, deeper and more beguiling than ever...and, BAM! You're right back there, head over heels. She's everything you loved before, and she's brand new.
Now, this isn't the only thing that will make The 10 a big success, but it is something these "analysts ", have no feel for, don't take into account. Fair enough. But they're out there...
;)
That is a horrible analogy...it's more realistic that you see your x after years apart and after you have found someone who makes you happy and meets your needs. Your x suddenly looks like a turd and you can't believe that you stayed with her as long as you did.

Although, Rim has a very compelling and very competitive product in bb10 by the looks of it. Rim will not take androids or ios position by a long shot, not in the very near future anyways. Maybe in 3 to 5 years. Lets face facts, although Rim has 80 plus million subscribers, the vast majority own curves and not the high end devices like the bold. I really cant see a great number of the L and N selling to make a dent in androids numbers or ios for that fact. In a few years by the time bb 11 or 12 or maybe 10.1/10.2 what have you comes out they might have considerable traction by then to threaten Android / ios. Heres hoping they do.
The sad possibility still exists of it being a little to late like webos, whether its miniscule dosnt matter in the tech world. Stranger things have happened.

For perspective, when Palm launched WebOS, they had $100 million and a pile of debt as well.
They could have all the money in the world, but their launch marketing absolutely sucks. Look at the Playbook. Thatvwas their big product, yet I'm still not sure I've ever seen one single commercial for it. Rims problems go much deeper than a substandard prodct.
