Be a more open platform.

From what I understand, the RIM platform is more open in some ways already. Namely that anyone can acquire the SDK and develop apps, and there is no vetting by RIM. But there is a bit of complaining about the quality of the APIs.

User experience is one big advantage that the iPhone has. Should RIM attack and erode the iPhone's advantage, or hit back at iPhone's weak points? (Awkward typing, problems with battery life, weak 3G reception.)
