Not so sure, there are a lot of Canadians, including myself, that are hoping they create a good platform with a good touch interface. They could have done this 5-10 years ago, and been Apple - but for whatever reason they just stopped innovating. If Canadians switch back to BB, and other people around the world start picking them as their preferred brand, then could easily be 10s of millions of sales initially, and as they improve the platform offerings and devices, could be hundreads of millions of sales.


All the Canadians in the world will not save them.

If they do manage to turn around, it will be one of the biggest turnarounds since maybe Apple or IBM.


If you take all Canadians 18-65, you'd maybe have 20 million in sales. Apple sells that many iPhones in a month.
