PB That's what BGR is reporting and if that's the case RIM would fail to provide it's world class security, push email and other push services.
Looks like instead of BES/BIS support they will support Microsoft Exchange Active Sync.I am not sure how that will impact RIM's other middle-ware services.This is terrible news.
RIM been supporting microsoft active sync for almost 3 years it wasnt major when they first supported it now it is
Microsoft Exchange Activ Sync is already in use with BES and is supported by BES currently. They also have active sync on their BIS as well, perhaps not as integrated as on a BES system.
Since it is reported by BGR... I'm having some issues believing them.

guys guys...
the rumour is BES support not BIS support....
i rather take info from a child before i believe anything blackberry related from BGR since geller said he's been a blackberry addict he should know that rim is on top of that already
We had these discussions about 3-4 months ago, but, I said then, and still say now, the only way RIM can save face with releasing a QNX superphone 8-10 months after releasing these OS7 devices, is if the "Colt" is a true superphone.
Crazy specs, ala 1.4-1.8 ghz cpu, leading edge screen res, big screen size.
It will be its own brand, have a unique look...
Good to hear and definitely going to be interesting to see how the next year unfolds because, if you think about it, my guess is that all of the OS7 phones will be out in time for the holidays, good. Even if they don't have the top phone, the one most talked about, they at least need to be a player and make a strong showing. With multiple OS7 phones on the shelves, they accomplish that.
But, to then have the first QNX phone come out in Q1 2012? Might just be the jolt RIM needs. Q1 is for some retailers, the hardest quarter of the year. It's post holidays, people are paying off credit card bills, setting aside cash for taxes, resolve to spend less, and as for the manufacturers, their new products are all coming out in Q4...Now, having 2 new products (OS7 & QNX) released so closely together may take some sales from one another, there is that risk, but with the hype of QNX, my guess is that instead it is going to be a huge hit and allow RIM to maintain or even build on the momentum gained in Q4 at a time when Android and Apple are slowing.

Daniel, you are bang on, that is the risk.
They need to sacrifice OS7 sales in favor of the Colt.
