BB is taking a hit in marketshare, courtesy of Android!!!!
...
I've been tracking this for a while now, through various market analysis firms. I figure RIM will be #3 in market share by the end of third quarter. Android, in many findings, has already surpassed the iPhone OS.
...
RIM better find a way to fancy things up!!! Obviously at the pace things are going nothing is gonna prevent them from becoming #3, but I wonder what they are gonna do to prevent from becoming #4???
Constantly rehashing the Bold just isn't gonna do it.

To Palm? They just made a cool chunk by selling...
Think of what they can sell themselves for once they fall far enough behind.
They are the true visionaries.

While I'm personally looking to Android for my next device due to the tight knit around Google Voice (which I LOVE!!!!) I think RIM has some good things going for them right now.
For the last two years the only things Mike Lazardis at RIM has been able to talk about are bandwidth efficiency, bandwidth efficiency, bandwidth efficiency, bandwidth efficiency and bandwidth efficiency.
Everyone has been laughing at him...
With the advent of tiered data pricing in the USA, mobile-optimizing web content just shifted from a convenience to a necessity, especially for high-end users.
iPhones and Androids are such bandwidth hogs, serious users are going to have to keep monster data packages on their lines to run those kinds of machi...

I certanly didn't think RIM was anywhere as close to dying as Palm.
Btw, happy Evo Evo!!!!!

They're about apps, device support, and consumer friendliness.
Blackberry is a VERY consumer unfriendly OS in a lot of ways. Sure, it's easy to find the call button, but how you basically HAVE to do a battery pull every few days, how navigating the interface isn't quite as easy as you would like (ask any rep how many times they had to "unhide" apps that the customer unknowingly hid)
I loved my Tour, and I think it is an excellent business device, but as a consumer device, it needs to do a heck of a lot more than efficiently compress and render webpages in the modern market.

No, funds kinda limited, there's this 24hr pizza joint across from UNLV called Rebel Pizza, 1 topping only $5.40 with tax!!!!! Damn good deal!
...
If I'd written this I'd expect at least two people getting on my back about the phrase "Blackberry is a long way from dead or dying like Palm."
...
As someone who has been 'stuck' in BB's for the last 3 1/2 years (still serving my time on that pos S1) I've kinda gotten used to their OS and their new one, 6.0 looks like it could be passable if only they could get their act together on build quality!! Too hit and miss imo. Having said that I must add, Gawd I think I like that slider (9800). I wish it would come to Vz so I could at least go down to the store and fondle it (evil laugh). Most probably when Oct comes around I'll move my sorry ass to some kinda HTC phone.
