I've dealt with three apologetic BlackBerry users in the past week. These are all serious business people, getting serious work done, and they all had the same message.
"I hate this horrid old thing, but I just need the keyboard."
It's positively shocking that with Windows Phone 8, Microsoft is not offering an option for the cadre of dissatisfied BlackBerry owners (and their IT departments.) Microsoft has several months before BlackBerry 10 comes out, to pry the remaining RIM-dependent businesses away from their BlackBerry servers. It's got the software, but it lacks the hardware. So does Apple.
