If you build it they will come.
Personally I think that no matter when they "get it together" they will make the comeback everyone is waiting for.
Even if one was to switch to something else, once they release a device that is on par with all the other phones PLUS has everything that we love about BlackBerry, I believe a lot of people will come back.
Remember all this news and rumours are just speculation. Until they make an official announcement nobody really knows for sure. They surprised the **** out of me with the PlayBook. Maybe they have a few more surprises up their sleeves.
If they released new devices at the same time along with the PlayBook and you had to make the choice between the PlayBook or a smartphone with the same speed and interface AND can make calls, what would you choose? I can see why they would wait.
