Default Gartner Advises Enterprises Halt Blackberry Deployment

http://www.mobilepipeline.com/174903876?cid=rssfeed_pl_mwp

"Enterprises should not deploy or invest in Research In Motion's BlackBerry "until RIM's legal position is clarified," market research firm Gartner said this week. In addition, Gartner urged enterprises to demand that Research In Motion (RIM), which has been struggling in a patent action brought against it by NTP, should publicly detail its plans for a workaround should it loose its suit. Besides getting details on the workaround, enterprises should also "carefully review their legal and operational impact," Gartner said in a research advisory."

Perhaps I just don't get all the technical stuff here, but from a business standpoint, does anyone really think RIM will not beg/borrow/steal to get the funds to pay NTP enough to shut up about this?
