They don't have any competition because they've boxed themselves into a very niche corner.  The only people who buy Blackberrys anymore are insecure businessmen or tweens who haven't had a chance to upgrade to one of the Android or Apple smartphones.

Welp, I suck.  >:(

I still think they're backing themselves into a corner with their refusal to update their fucking OS.  Terrible terrible OS.

If by "insecure businessmen" you mean, "almost every single businessman", then you're right.

Anecdote: around New Year's, after the underwear bomber, I did a few days of enhanced security at the Toronto airport doing patdowns.  Hundreds of business travellers coming through and the vast majority of them were packing BBs.
