>I would expect MS to maintain the BlackBerry brand, which I think still has some clout in the enterprise.

Does MS really need a brand with enterprise clout though? Doesn't the MS brand itself have enough enterprise clout?

I think the MS brand has more clout than RIM; if for no other reason than most large companies will have a relationship with MS for other products. In all of the large companies I've worked at buying from an existing vendor was preferable if the products were roughly comparable.
