Re: Is Research in Motion (Blackberry) going out of business?

In the event of RIM hitting a bankruptcy or going out of business completely you would lose functionality of RIM's native apps or services. I would guess the phone would still work if Verizon supports it but it would be a toss up.

Very risky I would say. If in doubt don't buy it. They could go under at any time and you would be mad.

Years ago I bought a Reveal Sound and Reveal went out of business but another company offered support but as far as product or warranty repair or returns that was a no go.

Also had a company called Storm which made color page scanners also went belly up. left with no support or warranty at all.

Today storm is known as Neat Scanners but its a whole new company. Same with Paperport and Omnipage which are gone now but have reinvented themselves as Nuance again if you get a company going out of business I would stay clear and buy a more stable companies phone or products.
