At the very least, RIM needs to see if they can tough it out in this market for another six months. Yes, discount the hardware, get it out there. The more users, the more developer support (which is the REAL Achilles' Heel right now).
The thing to remember is that QNX is RIM's future phone platform as well. That the platform is already available gives the current devs experience that they'll need if they want to develop for the new phones as well.
Finally, System software 2.0 is due out by the end of October. RIM has committed to FINALLY having that native PIM/e-mail app in place as well as the Android Player. THAT will make a difference.
It's a nice device. Am I suffering a little iPad envy? Sure, but I'll get over it.
