^ Aren't they on the edge of bankruptcy? (Sorry, I don't really follow phone news much.)

Yep. I believe they have money troubles anyway.

Ah. Understood. I don't exactly see how well Blackberry is going to wedge a spot for itself in the market, Android and iOS seem to be pretty dominant in the US.

They've got certain little pockets where they might be able to hold out for a while. I think it's Nigeria where they're still a status symbol in business? But overall, yes, they're in big trouble. I think they might even implode before Nokia does.
