10.3 has been unsupported for a year, so that's a non-factor. I'd say not to yank anything from under users, too.

Not quite ideal, but it serves the purpose. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
