Can you tell us how they have reversed the damage? I don't see anyone carrying blackberrys anymore.

They're not done yet. But they've slowed the bleeding tremendously, gotten out of unprofitable businesses, actually shipped the damn OS (instead of farting around with demos and research), and are working to ensure that QNX provides a solid revenue stream in the mean time.

BlackBerry under the previous CEOs was much like Sun: lots of cool ideas, lots of smart people, but no direction towards shipping products people wanted.

Now it's like Apple shortly after buying NeXT. Only with no advertising (their current biggest flaw).
