Rim is going to release their fiscal quarter report on Dec.20, and i think its going to exceed expectations. B4 JAN.30(release of bb10) i think the stock will be close to the 14-17 dollar range around release day. The only mistake I think RIM is making right now is by releasing the touch screen blackberry b4 the physical keyboard model. However, it will be released about 2-4 weeks after and dont think it should be that big of a problem.
I personally switched from the blackberry world after owning one since 2007, to jumping ship recently to the iphone 5. I currently use the iphone 5, and cant wait to get rid of this thing and go back to using a blackberry. I miss BBM, and my physical keyboard! iPhone is such a hyped up phone and dated os, i think its going to lose its hype just like blackberry did. The iphone 5 is such a minor improvement from the iphone 4 and that is why apple stock is going downhill. Everything they release has such minor improvement, that its not even worth dishing out the extra amount of money to own the next best thing. Sooner or later even the apple fan boys are going to realize that its just not worth it!

i think you're in the minority.
how many people do you know who are still on BBM?
i'd find it VERY difficult for RIM, windows 8 based phones, etc (anything outside of iOS and android) to make a significant dent on android and iOS
while i think RIM was somewhat undervalued at $7.xx, i don't think it's worth much more than that - no one wants them, no one wants their patents, and BB10 likely won't do anything great. to think this was once a power house (first to market) who QUICKLY got left behind, and now, over 1 year late, they come out with BB10, which again, looks like nothing new
also, you miss your keyboard? what are you, 50? i've got huge hands and i manage on the iphone (came from bold 9870 or whatever it was) - i don't miss the keyboard
