In which case they need to have launched this product yesterday. Really they should have a product on the market now considering Windows Phone 8 has had their couple of years in the troff where they've been building the product, the app ecosystem and carrier deals (As Android had to do) and are now really pushing the OS with carriers like HTC and Nokia bringing out great hardware.

If they want to compete, sometime next year is not good enough in my opinion. If they can build something compelling they'll be 4th if they just kept their current customers on board with a new OS.

Blackberry already has touchscreen phones and the people using Blackberry's seem to avoid them because they want to stay in that age with the physical keyboards and classic handsets, if they do switch to QNX will people switch to iOS or Android?

That's an interesting perspective, but I don't think windowsphone (any incarnation of it) has enough going for it to make number 3.
