Microsoft should buy RIM?

Here is a bold but interesting recommendation by one of the Alley Insider bloggers. The main idea of the recommendation is for Microsoft to go ahead and make a bid for RIM, for that is the quickest way for them to jump into the smart-phone bandwagon. RIM's shares are steadily falling and they have lost one third of their value this month.
In general, I don't think of Microsoft as a phone company, they just fall back on all those capabilities that RIM has. With Apple aspiring for world domination and the Windows Mobile market-share deteriorating, RIM is an attractive target for takeover. If Microsoft doesn't make a move, the next big guy is lurking in the bushes: Amazon.
I would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this.
