Android operating system rocks...Blackberry dying a painful slow death, iPhone unless you jailbreak it is simply an extension of the Apple Empire...

Totally disagree...I agree there will be less consumer level interest in the BB, but definitely not on the business side. The android and the i-phone cannot touch the BB for business use.
The casual users, yes will love and flock to the android and i-phone will all the apps and games and such, but that is not the market that BB targets...Even the Torch which has been bashed on forums and in reviews was never intended to compete with the others, but gets bashed anyway since it hasnt lived up to some peoples expectations as an 'android killer'...
In the business circles that I run in you will never see an Android phone or an I-phone unless someone brought their wife along...
Just a matter of time until apple or andriod release an enterprise solution for their operating systems.
There has been lots of talk of this already, but Im not convinced the business community will buy in...I-phone has been out for a long time already, and there is very little uptake in the business community. Android has the best chance, but still considered 'untested' as a business device. The i-phone still carries the 'Apple' stigma...You dont see major corporations running Macs, and these same corporations wont drop the BB for the I-phone.
To me right now its perfect, let the BB keep developing towards the needs of the business client, which leaves room for the Android and the I-phone to chase the consumer market.
Android will be the big threat in the future because it is an operating system as opposed to a 'phone'. This means you have multiple manufacturers all working in unison towards a certain market, this in my opinion will be the biggest threat to the I-phone...
Fully understand what you are saying, however I do deal with several enterprise clients that are now running mac's as their front end PC's and Linux for servers...... Android I agree will be the one to really put Blackberry on pins & needles in the business sector however, I do also know that Apple is gaining a positive reputation name for themselves in that sector as well. It will definitely be interesting to see what happens in the coming years!
