I work for a major corporation - not as big as VZ, but at $52B market cap hardly tiny. Security is a large part of their business. I have been able to access work e-mail and VPN into company servers for years.
Blackberry is being replaced by iOS in the Enterprise at a rapid pace, and that is only going to increase. BYOD overrides everything.

And again, the latest version of BES now supports iOS and Android.
I honestly don't think buying RIMM would do anything for Apple except cost them a huge amount in resctructuring charges. Are they going to keep Blackberry phones and Playbook going? No way. That means they have to lay off 1000s of workers...which is another reason why Canada would never allow the deal to go through.
RIM has a market cap of almost $7b right now. No way any deal would happen without a large premium - I'd say $10b at a minimum.
