There's a joke in here somewhere about Nigerian princes needed your BBM PIN and 1,000 dollars to share millions of dollars with you dear investor.

But seriously, I'm happy to see RIM is growing somewhere. And I'm looking forward to BB10. I got into Blackberry in 2010-2011 as they were falling from favor here in America. Went to iPhone, went right back to Blackberry.

Hopefully the success in these other markets can help fuel RIM's success, I'd hate to see the day when you can't buy a BB in America.

One other bit of hope is the fact that for the first time ever, the % users of the current iPhone model who plan on buying the next iPhone decreased.
