This is old news and is what has been happening to RIM worldwide with its Blackberry (bb) smartphones. I've had my latest bb for over 2 years and see no reason to upgrade short of the device failing all together. It has everything I need and it does it well. Assuming investors don't run the company into the ground I plan on getting a new bb in12 to 18 months. I really believe I've received value for money after paying over US $600 for this phone (unlocked international version).
