Blackberry is a well known brand so I doubt it will just disappear. If they don't improve they will just be bought out by another corporation. Amazon would have given RIM a huge boost if they would have been allowed to buy them out. Blackberrys biggest issue in my opinion is eco system and the lack of a competitive touch screen phone.

Disappear completely, I highly doubt it. It's becoming a popular third world brand so that's where Blackberry will flourish.

Anyone who thinks BlackBerry will disappear is really really brain dead.
And I'm not kidding.
Like. I have no regret in saying that they are stupid.
Or just insecure of the RIM takeover that will soon happen.

Especially with the super boom happening in 2nd world countries right now, BlackBerry isn't going anywhere.

First off, I really wish people would get off this 'developing markets' = 'third world countries' mentality. I've outlined the differences in several other threads, so I'm not going to repeat it again. Just go do a little research.

Secondly, even if the BlackBerry brand were to disappear, it sure won't be this year.

RIM is turning the corner and is headed back from its dumpster dive. Don't expect them to go and spend a bunch of money in this crappy economy to produce a bunch of bleeding edge devices even though we would all love to seem them.
