re RIM - I think you are fooling yourself if you consider RIM's phone as sticky as Oracle's, IBM or SAP software. I have seen our entire company convert from RIM to iphones (and Droids') recently because they changed their policy from RIM only phones to "choose your smartphone from a company approved list". Approx 70% converted to iphone by my estimates and the rest seems evenly split amongst droids and leftover RIM users . The droid alternative is relatively new but I think their share is rapidly rising. This shows to me that most people would not choose a RIM phone if they had the choice.
