Research In Motion's BlackBerry is the No. 1 choice on corporations' smartphone-buying list, according to a new ChangeWave survey of more than 2,000 people.In fact, a full 82 percent of respondents whose companies plan to buy smartphones in the third quarter said they will buy BlackBerrys; 76 percent of those who already use smartphones say they have BlackBerrys. Apple's iPhone ranked second in planned smartphone purchases, with 13 percent.
