I had to fight to not get stuck with a Blackberry at work. Bring your own device is taking longer than I'd like to become widespread.
My company shifted to BYOD for phones two years ago. I've yet to meet anyone unhappy about it.
I'm not convinced RIM will be gone in 2013.. .they still have billions in cash sitting around, are partially owned by the CA gov, and are supposedly laying of 30% of its workforce soon.
While I don't predict them turning it around, I suspect they will limp through another year or become a hardware-only company.
+Arthur Gwynne, weren't you all for MetroPCS? They're on this list.
I actively use them. ruh roh. Hopefully T-Mobile will buy it, since I fucking hate Sprint
Not a Verizon fan either, +Arthur Gwynne?
Sprint was the most likely candidate, but they are broke and pulled all their money out of MetroPCS…
