BlackBerry are clearly hoping to succeed with the Leap in the enterprise market, where customers will upgrade their older BlackBerry handsets for possibly the Leap as it's cheaper than the Classic and Passport. But will you be joining them or is the Leap just not packing enough of a punch for you? Cast your vote below and feel free to have your say in the comments?
