Absolutely ankur. I would agree with you that the biggest bottleneck with the bb solution is the fact that its all proprietary stuff. You can't install apps on the handset, you can't use 3rd party add-ins on the server and u're definitely tied down to the email servers that bb enterprise servers can poll for new messages. The stuff u've been describing about Trio surely seems extremely interesting.
