They've always been to corporate focused, they've tried to change that but it's not worked as they don't understand the normal people who now use other smart devices. They only understand corporates. The IT guys want iPhones and Androids because they're more personal devices, also the normal people are bringing in their own devices from home and IT guys are having to allow them onto the networks.

Probably not... as most people are tied into contracts. Although if yours was coming up for renewal then you would seriously consider moving to another make if this continues with out any real reason being given.


Any more of these over the next 6 months and I think it will lose a massive share in the market!

I know for a fact BES has been down today, 95% of our clients with BB's have BES for their Exchange servers and defo not working or working sporadically.
