Oh come on, its a phone - it does nothing that loads of other phones do (and many do better), so if your business is really dependent on a Blackberry its a very dodgy business.
Even before this kicked off RIM were losing market share to other smartphones - they are getting particularly hammered by the growth of Android - so businesses will adapt as always. If RIM do not sort this out then they are going to lose market share even faster - if you were an international businessman given the choice between 2 phones that do exactly the same thing, would you chose the one that didn't work in various areas around the world?
