The major reason my friends moved off BB was their service issues a few years back. BB (RIM) would tank their services worldwide for days at a time and one went into weeks. Customers didn't flee the first time but BB's repeated outages finally did them in.
Not much new to report about them and the slow circle around the drain. You find some still tenaciously clinging to the BB phones but BB isn't making it easy.
