Speaking to ZDNet Asia, Jim Balsillie, co-CEO of RIM says

Symbian has made the leap to open source–would you follow?
There may be parts it makes sense to open source – BlackBerry has a rich and strong environment and it delivers on a set of promises. There may be some open source stuff that makes sense. Different parts of the app set makes sense to open source [but] it hasn’t been a big pressure point [for RIM].

Well, I am pretty sure markets will force RIM to eventually take the Open Source route. Let us wait and see.
