@cmuratori engaging in a commodity market is not what they want to do, when they had competitive advantage with their backend stuff1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@GrumpyHook At the risk of stating the obvious, _how would that change the backend market_?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@GrumpyHook They still sell their own custom backends, and install their own exclusive apps on the phone. Problem solved.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@cmuratori well...why sell the phone at all at that point? Unless they believe their hardware is awesome.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@GrumpyHook Because you need the keyboard. Nobody else is selling an Android phone with a competent keyboard. And BlackBerry users need it.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
@GrumpyHook They could certainly license the keyboard to Samsung or something, or whatever - but they'd have to do at least that.
