- I own a 9900 since september and I signed upto a 2 year contract, what would happen to us if RIM goes bankrupt? Would Blackberry services stop? What would the mobile networks do? I hope RIM does not go bankrupt as it is potentially a high earning business like it has been until recent years.03-30-12 04:59 AMLike 0

- To properly answer the OP instead of saying no RIM won't go bankrupt;
If RIM fails, the BIS servers most likely be sold to carriers and in return these carriers will earn the entire profit out of it. If not, companies specialized in network and security will buy off the BIS servers.
If I am a small business company, I would buy some of the servers and charge users for it for sure. In Canada, the government regulates how privacy and information should be protected so anyone should be able to buy RIM servers and operate them given they respect the rules.Last edited by mss-ca; 03-30-12 at 06:49 AM.

I sure hope RIM come out strong with their BB 10 devices or RIM agree to terms of Google and decide to go with a modified Android OS for their phones.03-30-12 07:01 AMLike 0 - there are plenty of things in this world to worry about..
whether your already obsolete phone will last another 15 months is not one of them, besides which you have no personal agreement with RIM, but with your carrier.. so if your phone service stops they will give you an early upgrade at least.Spencerdl likes this.03-30-12 07:38 AMLike 1 - there are plenty of things in this world to worry about..

But I seen a very successful business in construction in Calgary collapsed even with positive cash flow because investors beat the %$#@ of it. The RIM stocks are now almost going in the same direction as that company.

I would rather see a hybrid Apple/blackberry than a droid/BB!!
But that's just me

- Sooooo negative! Dont know why press give Blackberry such a hard time. Not had BB before, but just got a 9900, my wife a has also got a white 9360. Both delighted with the kit. Great for texting/email, no battery issues either.03-30-12 01:24 PMLike 0
- The press rags on RIM because of their short-sighted management. The Bold would have been a leadership product several years ago, but today, it's yesterday's news. If all you want to do is texting and email, you are in the minority, and because RIM has taken so long to figure this out, their market share has fallen off a cliff. It will be a miracle if the company survives.04-11-12 02:39 AMLike 0

Don't be so ignorant. The company will survive because it has unique features which both business and consumer users still demand.
Some people eh?!
