RIM CEO 'Pushing' for Samsung to Purchase the Company

[bin1127]

I'm worried about email security if RIM decides to sell. RIM is the only company that is clear in it's intentions to preserve the privacy of all traffic passing through it's servers. I do not believe any other company will do the same.

but why do they have to sell? just because the company got pared down doesn't mean they have to sell. stupid shareholders always trying to hard to ruin good companies by selling out at the first sign of trouble.

The Government of Canada... protecting a Canadian asset until they can get things on track...

... but seriously. I'd prefer they simply pull themselves out of this quagmire, and show us all how to have a little faith. What people say is right, they're not great at marketing, they left the transition to a new platform (QNX) too long, they really needed to pay attention to the GUI revolution, they STAGNATED. This is disappointing and frankly irks me more than just a little, but I persist. I'm a fan, I'm hopeful, and I really believe they have the talent to build something GREAT! I just wish they'd prove it.

BB + Android = Pure Awesome

Google should buy it. They have the money and it would make an aweseome collaboration.
If not Samsung sounds pretty darn awesome too.

Remember, RIM's strength is in it's service, (the NOC that encrypts the data), not the hardware it sells. For it to be truly a force to be reckoned with, they need better phone designers as the rest of the world wants a phone that is not only useful but that isn't a eyesore as well.

Usually a website and a business caters to the customer !
Requiring a specific browser, if not technically necessary, is a perfect way to turn away clients and rather arrogant.

Just let it go bankrupt. When there is just no need for old technology, it dies (think about wooden wheels being replaced by rubber as just one example).

I think RIM has done well with its Bold 9900/9930. To me, they're the best blackberries to date. BBs are good devices for Enterprise email and easier to type on than a touchscreen. They should correct their price to $5-7 billion and maybe Samsung would pick them up. Microsoft would ruin RIM trying to innovate that which doesn't need innovating.
