Two Curves, a Playbook, BlackBerry London and a new BlackBerry 10 phone.
You've got to admire their bravery - its going to be a hard battle on their own. Lets face it Android and iOS have the mobile market pretty sown up now and the tablet space even more so. Even Microsoft spend a small fortune are struggling to make an impact (I'm surprised they didn't do a tie in). I hope they succeed to a certain extend though as the competition is good.
So basically they are sticking to the existing formula in the short-term whilst they work out how to play catch up. As long as they have their signature devices with qwerty keypad that can browse the web as good as the other platforms they can still be relevant. They need make those new curves < £100 devices which I'm sure they won't do.
Cracking phones for business, or so I hear. But boy am I glad I'm not in their shoes with the current line up of android & Iphone 5 a few months away...
Its surprising the lack of Android phones that have qwerty keypads. This is where RIM are holding on, phones with actual buttons to write quick and accurate emails with. You can't write quick decent length emails with touch screens.Quote:

You can if you have a big enough screen :)Quote:

The reason I got my Xperia Mini Pro is because of the physical keyboard....but agreed, I'm looking to replace it with the Xperia Mini Pro (new model) but it's not cutting edge by any standard..1ghz cpu with a small screen! However, I'd not be without the keyboard, I can txt so much quicker than other people with low(ish) end Android devices...
