I'm the only one seeing this as the announcement of RIMs downfall? One of the things that really held BBs still going was that it's in almost all corporate environments. But I think a lot of users will jump ship after this.
At this point RIM is in serious problems.
The article makes it sound like BlackBerry proxy all EMEA network traffic through their UK servers. Does anyone know if this is correct? If so, I wonder how easily the UK government could get their hands on it.
Having all communication in a region pass through a single third party server is such a big design flaw! If only other companies made decent qwerty keyed phones, picking a successor to my Blackberry wouldn't be so hard.
