Do they think we're that dumb

Do these guys think the public is that dumb to believe a line like that?

I mean seriously; the growth of the Blackberry was almost entirely based on them taking phone security seriously; enterprises and government agencies that were squeamish about using any handheld device for communications went for Blackberrys. This security didn't contribute to their decline either, I think they simply didn't expect Android and IPhone to drink their milkshake to the extent they did. I would say their security is largely what is keeping their market share at the level it is at. Of course, RIM's not bankrupt yet, it's always possible they could make at least some rebound.
