not really, but they should have figured out that their pathetic attempt at Storm was a mess and that they needed to find new business models way back then.

What they should have done is 3 fold.

first, license their server technology to anyone and open it up to apples, androids, and such, thus keeping the one thing that makes them great alive and vital. their servers and security. Not about the phones guys, about hte SERVICE.

but they got hung up in their PHONES as being gods gift.....

then take about 10x more money when they are making money, tell hte board to go pack it or hold them responsible for going out of businessin 2011...and put it back into handset creation, innovation, and design. the storm was a mess, but it was a good departure from where they had gotten stuck. but they got burned once and then dropped the entire thing.

And then spin out a skunk works group whose goal it was is to make the next generation of handset independently from any and all of the marketing clones who were pushing the same old handset for years.

You do this when your the winner and on top and have cash, not when your back is to the wall, yoru losing market share, and your out of business.
