Hope not. Another Canadian company sold off would suck. Losing a phone that I could do Java Mobile on would be the cherry on that sundae.
This story floating around in a bunch of places -- irks me. It's not a good buy. Too expensive unless RIM drops pricetag a ton. And the incompatibilties in vision and platform/development seem way too much hassle for MS which just got into the Nokia thing
