People keep saying this but just because Android fills Samsung's coffers doesn't mean it would Blackberry's. They might have sold more phones but that doesn't mean they'd make more money.

I think back in 2011 they had a chance to be THE business Android phone. Their brand could have carried them back then.

Maybe RIM should have answered the iPhone in 2007 rather than 5 years later.

MS took the leap of faith and killed WinMo to compete and now they're still around in the mobile arena.

WinMo was 2010? They unveiled it at MWC IIRC which is much earlier than RIM's answer which really didn't come til the Z10. The market was shaped a lot differently back then. Microsoft had a chance.
