Take at look at this list of idioms, and observe the entry for "cut the mustard."
The term "mustard" here may be a corruption of "muster," or ability to accomplish a task - suitability (viz: to pass muster).
Ergo, it's quite likely that the expression in question has ellided the word "mustard," as "to cut it" is now a standalone idiom in its own right. As snumpy notes above, the meaning is that "The Blackberry is no longer good enough for general business users."
