BB10

Talking about what the average Joe wants... Well, the average Joe doesn't want a blackberry!

When you're a company that faces that kind of odds, you have to find a new market. For phones, that's the price limited and hardware enthusiasts.

Android devices now has the led because it is not only priced less but also has top-of-the-line hardware with new technologies like nfc, wireless charging, etc.

WP are chipping away a little bit by having the cost cheaper. And they grew a bit more with they finally released hardware competitive with the top of the Android heap. Their biggest flaw is that their premier phone, Nokia 920, is on a single carrier.

So what does BlackBerry have? Cost? No. Hardware? No. So good luck selling the BlackBerry to current BlackBerry users who just refuse to switch.
 
Im in Canada, Was in Waterloo infact for 9 years around the corner from RIM (Now BB) and when I was there the 3 companies I worked for ALL phased out BB, and the place I am at as of new years is also planning to phase out BB for iOS , BES seems to be consistently the reason and well the boss likes app store for iOS while BB finally announced some real selection in their apps stores they are 3 years late on both the app selection and the hardware, as well as the OS. 3 years ago this would have been good... now its just way to late and looks like they are just trying to cash in on what made iOS/Android successful

More and more companies I know locally are moving away from BB as they dont want to invest in something they are unsure on the future of, nor deal with BES for exchange, although I thought they changed that in BB10 but still, years late to add native exchange integration

if BB wants to make some money while they still can, sell a BBM app for iOS and Android devices for a couple bucks, although the BB price structure seems to be take the iOS/Play store price and multiply it by 5, but all the kids who left BB for iOS/Android would buy the app to chat with all their other kid friends who's parents didn't buy them a shiny new phone yet...lol
 
I'm pretty sure you don't even need BES10 for BB10 unless you want to mange the devices. They use active sync for the email now.
