Ouch, but the truth hurts. This company was a titan only 5 years ago, they got lazy and too relaxed in the R&D department, their OS is one that very few really support (except a few straggling businesses), their handsets feel dated, every recent launch of a new product has been a bit of a flop. Samsung is smart to not want to touch this company, any other company looking for an acquisition that is smart will probably do the same right now if they knew what a bad investment looked like. Face it, RIM is the new Palm.......Today, Samsung cleared up rumors with a public statement: It doesn't want RIM and it never did.
