RIM Gives Up After Losing Initial Battle Over BBX Trademark 90
First time accepted submitter Mastadex writes "RIM's brand new BlackBerry mobile OS, due in early 2012, was expected to be called BBX. But due to a recent court ruling against it, RIM has dropped BBX and opted simply for 'BlackBerry 10.' Software company Basis International said a U.S. federal court in Albuquerque has granted a temporary restraining order against RIM, barring it from using Basis's BBX trademark. The court decision bars RIM from using the trademark at its Asian DevCon conference on Wednesday and Thursday in Singapore."

I sure as hell am not going to use iOS or Android. What is left besides Blackberry? Windows Mobile? Not a chance.

I look around all the time, I take a commuter train into work every morning, the phones have gone from Blackberries to almost 100% iPhones in the last 4 years.
In the office we have supported BB and Activesync for just as long... in the Windows Mobile days we had a handful of WM users and hundreds of BBs, now we offer a corp BB or opt out and user Activesync program... We now have fewer than 100 BBs and hundreds of attached Activesync devices almost all iPhones and a few Android.
