This can only lead to good things...
Imagine if android was only available on one brand of hardware...
It wouldn't be 10% as big as it is now.

RIM would have a better chance at licensing out their Push technology IP, and making fortunes from it. Or even, setting up a cloud-like service for any user to get in on BIS, regardless of OS, and provide the API's to be integrated in native mail programs. (Think MS Exchange)
This licensing out their OS is just silly, it'll prove to eat their own hardware sales, or not generate the traction they're hoping for. It's too late for this move, if they were going to license BB OS it should have been 3 years ago, Nokia could have used it then too.
The real strengths for RIM right now are in the two main areas that are more feature than platform. BIS/BES and BBM.
Why yes, that is a bag phone
Hardware is one of the reasons I've stayed with BB as long as I have. I came close to leaving the fold when OS6 proved to be the disaster it was, I even got myself a Nexus S but the phone's plastics felt flimsy and the screen creeked. Along with battery & over heating issues, spontaneous and unexpected shut downs, the overall poor quality of the Nexus' hardware kept me from leaving BB altogether and I gladly jumped back on the band wagon. Say what you like about their OS, BB's hardware, from a quality perspective at least, is the best out there.
If licensing doesn't intefere with me being able to get the same quality hardware I've been getting for years then I'm OK with that.

A BlackBerry with GS2/3 hardware? That will be amazing, cant wait to see what they come up with
Interesting that they picked Sharp as another partner, and not Htc and/or Sony.

Sony is way too proprietary.
SDeee 0wnz!
Not likely. If I'm going to use BB10 then I'll stick with RIM products.Originally Posted by CANWTS
It's safe to say that RIM will know how the hardware will interact with BB10 seeing that they're constantly testing it with the expected hardware specs they want BB10 based devices to be released with.
Samsung, being the licensee of the proprietary software will have to completely depend on RIM and go through a learning curve to know how the hardware should perform. I'm not sure, I want to be an beta tester for Samsung based BB10 products when I pretty much need a stable device.

I would totally rock a Samsung Galaxy S3 that is running BB10 software. It would be nice to have BBM on this phone. If they did do something like this, I don't know how it would make RIM phones fare. The one thing I still love about Blackberry is that they make the best physical keyboard out there.
