In the consumer market they need a roll out akin to the original iPhone to bounce back.

Me thinks this will just make a good phone that your happy your work gave you. However, soon 100% BB compliance won't be an issue. So what market will RIM have?

I think Win Phone 8 has a chance. Due to integration/entrenchment points in the workplace. They have a leg up on Android there. Example is SharePoint, Outlook, and Dynamics integration.

BB has sweet jack. It is a sweet communication platform that is walled in. It is a pain to integrate with other software compared to windows phone. MSFT no longer needs to play nice with BB, they now have their own horse in the race. So watch how many cool integrations Windows Phone 8 will have right out of box.

I seriously see Windows Phone eating the scrap pile that is BB. The vulture (capitalists) can/will pick their bones in about 12-24 months.
