Bummer, hope this doesn't affect my already lacklustre BB service.

Hope someone decent picks them up.

Will probably get picked up by Apple, MS, or Google to continue their patent war.

It had to happen sooner or later. I'm not surprised, hopefully they won't got to trash (if they aren't already, I wouldn't know) before dying all the way.

Well google has already spent a lot in buying Motorola, Microsoft won't buy it either bc their mobile business is almost dead.  It would be like a parent sending a kid with AIDS to a private college.   

Apple might want to take a look, Samsung might as well.

Again, RIM is probably worth the amount for the patents alone. I'm sure MS would love to get a few more patents to throw in Motorola's face

Facebook will pick it up..

This was a long time coming.

This is actually a solid theory. I'd see Google trying to get them for billions while Apple/MS and the bigger conglomerate all go in together like they did for... I think it was Cisco patents.

Really time to move one. You're missing a ton on iOS or Android, such a better experience and even Android offers real keyboards if you have to have that.
