Could RIM Become the Biggest Comeback Story in Tech History?

No, they abandoned there core business user by attempting to enter the consumer market and that core has mostly gone now. RIM has a market of mostly fickle users now and with that sadly I don't see any comeback, even in the new OS is brilliant. They sadly alienated a lot of influentual people over the past years who gave up on the soon moto they have had with there new OS.

As RIM is structured currently they wont make a comeback, even if they hae invented the golden delicious of apples per say. If they partner up with others and allow other companies to make RIM OS phones then they might move forward and make a comeback, but as it stands they sadly won't as they pissed off people over the years in such a way that they had there fingers burned.

I like RIM, I like the potentual there products had, but they had some terrible managment in the middle and that managment is still sadly there and with that nothing has really changed - sad in many ways.

No. They waited too long to make consumer-focused devices and by the time they did - with the Pearl and Storm, I believe - they missed the boat. I read a similar story like this years ago. RIM somehow keeps on kicking, but a full-on comeback just isn't in the cards.

Everyone I know who had a BlackBerry already moved to Android or Windows Phone.

Never truer: if the article's title is a question, the answer is no.
