That's not the direction RIM/BB has taken through it's history.

I mean, it did try outsourcing manufacturing, but as a reactionary and emergency measure, rather than planned one.

RIM/BB was a pure Canadian company. We do things differently up here. If RIM/BB had been sold, it would have been purchased for the patent portfolio, not the manufacturing capability. That is what pretty much happened to Northern Telecom/Nortel assets in the end liquidation.
