Should RIM change to Windows Phone

Should Research In Motion (RIM) change its BlackBerry line by using Windows Phone in them? Well according to Galen Gruman from InfoWorld they should. In his "How RIM can save BlackBerry: Adopt Windows Phone" article he thinks "RIM should modernize the BlackBerry where it stands out and is beloved: with messaging". He points out that Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 is all about modern mobile messaging. "If RIM could port its BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) security APIs to Windows Phone 7 and clean up some of the UI misfires in Windows Phone 7 (unreadable message text, for example)," he adds "it would have a compelling messaging device with a much more intuitive UI that would appeal to both its traditional older-adult users and the socially cantered young users."

If that wasn't enough Galen Gruman even suggested that "If RIM can't bring itself to do that, maybe Nokia should buy RIM and do the security and usability modifications to Windows Phone 7 to gain the high security capabilities so beloved by CSOs, then use the BlackBerry brand for these modern messagers". Rather bold statements, I would say, but whether you agree or not with his view, the article surely is an interesting read. Follow the source to read more.
