The enterprise community can only hold up RIM for so long under the "it aint broken so we don't have to change hardware" business model. Its going to be a slow bleed.
The upside to this is, being a semi-closed off phone with not a ton of opensource apps available, security is a bit better than the other phones. For certain companies and government agencies, this characteristic would make RIM a top choice.
