    I'll do it...

    No, really... It has to be more interesting than the job I'm doing now, and maybe a fresh pair of eyes would see things differently? [if anybody takes this seriously enough, I'm sure El Reg can put you in touch]

    Calling it now - FB will buy them

    Facebook will buy them, pretty much a no brainer realy. Current stock value you RIM at around 6bn, they have around 2bn liquid in the bank and thats without the IP assets and physical assets. Facebook after a phone, RIM have a good base to work from. So wouldn't cost that much at all. That said it's a marriage RIM will probably try and avoid and would rather somebody more adapt at dismanterling Canadian companies like ew HP. But with the way things are going and RIM having got the clowns in (aka JPMorgan) who also floated FB oh and some canadian bank to appeas local laws as well.

    Given all this, I can't see how this won't happen. Also RIM's best bet and FB's safest bet as well as giving some solid income.
