Windows Phone - Dead man walking

[gertsy]

Since when has the number of sales of a product had anything do with how good it is. The ZX Spectrum sold millions and it was relatively crap. Sorry but I had one.
Everyone loves their phone choice and their phone is the best and having used all 3 and BB I have mine and it's the best too.

I can understand what you're saying, but....

If I had £10,000 to spend on shares, there is absolutely zero chance I'd buy any of Blackberry's. Would you?

In terms of financial health, even though Blackberry survives, the fact that it has failed to maintain what was once a good grasp on the market basically means it's dead to shareholders, and they're the guys who dictate whether a company lives or dies, not the customers. It'd take a miracle for Blackberry to come back strong now - it's possible, but the market has matured and Blackberry didn't capitalise on their early strength. Not surprising, given the marketing budgets of Google and Samsung, particularly.

Agree with all those points but one. I'd argue for evidence that a multi microcosm un-integrated market is mature.
