I agree with Mike. If this guy had any pulse on the enterprise market he would know that IT shops want to manage their deployments. These places are trying to reduce their overhead costs by streamlining what they support. Introducing an open environment totally counter-acts that.

Also on the carrier point, the carriers are going to stick with manufactures who provide lower ROIs, don’t kill their networks AND reduce RMAs. It’s not JUST about the upfront cost of the device.

All these analyst just don’t get that point .. and that RIM is a lower TCO then anyone else!! It drives me crazy .. we had a budding interest in iPhone for anyone who wanted one and recent security concerns as well lack of management killed that thought.

Until anyone goes head to head with what BES can do I don’t see anyone that values BES strengths to move to something else. Good was close and motorola pretty much has done nothing with it. If Apple bought Good it would be real interesting!

From the viewpoint of an IT professional, this guy is missing the boat on point 4. It’s going to be a long time before organizations concerned about security, particularly e-mail security, will trust any other device above a BlackBerry device. RIM’s ability to synchronize the BlackBerry to a corporate e-mail system, securely end-to-end, will keep them going strong in the enterprise market.
