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

I think that's one thing RIM has over other people.
C'mon, if Motorola got bought out for $12.5 billion and Google mentioned later on that a lot of it was for their patents. I'm sure RIM would get a pretty good offer for theirs.
It is a huge climb for RIM but you have to keep in mind that their fight is in first world countries. Emerging markets with lagging telecommunications infrastructures is going to be their main markets. I read somewhere that iPhone/Android is great and all but they suck up too much bandwidth in those emerging markets.
