The inevitable is starting to begin.
As people are loosing, have lost interest in RIM's current product offerings it only makes sense that one of their manufacturing partners, Celestica, has starting winding down production on the current offerings.

The Star has an article up about this slow down of manufacturing for RIM which is what initially caught my attention.

Initially I was hit with a "well I saw that coming" mentality, but there may be a silver lining here for the BlackBerry faithful. They're winding down current production, not dissolving the partnership. They could very well be ramping up shortly for BB10 production.
