I would completely agree with all of that... but it doesn't change the fact that the stock price has dropped by half and the market share keeps falling. I think RIM should have taken your advice and stayed focused on the business market... their attempts at "pop phones" as you call them (great term BTW), has been a disaster (think Storm).

I was just asking myself the same question; RIM, Nortel, Spar, Avro.... we have a track record of fantastic innovation (Blackberry keyboard, Routers, Canada ARM, Arrow jet)... but for some reason no successful tech companies long term. Sooner or later these cutting edge companies shut down and our best/brightest end up moving to the States for work. Are we stuck as hewers of wood, drawers of water and (now) diggers of Oil?
