I think that this is outrageous. RIM builds a product based on an idea, and they are forced to pay a company that patented the "idea" but never used it. I believe that to aquire a patent you should be required to produce evidence on how you will use it. e.g. marketing a product, selling the idea to another company. You shouldn't be allowed to patent something and then do NOTHING with it. Thats just bogus and unfair to other businesses.
