| |  Is this the longest we've gone without a leak?
How long has it been since we had our last device leak?
This is pretty strange, but there has to be a BIG reason for it.... This is not a coincidence or an accident. RIM is not allowing leaks anymore, but why? (aside from the obvious, but they never cared this much before).
What do you think it is!?

Wow... Sal questioning the leaks ... something must be big if you don't know something! lol (or is your post sarcasm ... meaning you have something for us???)
At first, I thought that RIM actually did have something big coming Jan-Mar '11 (may at the latest) ... but by watching Mike talk and constantly dodge questions about the smartphone market and only talk about how amazing the Playbook is... I'm starting to have doubts. Maybe there really aren't any new top of the line devices going to be released by RIM any time soon (like no new S3 or no QNX devices) and that RIM really is focusing only on the PB.
I'm really not sure what to think anymore ... I would feel that a leak would actually be good for us blackberry users, so that we can stop our negative thoughts about RIM and to entice us to stay with BB and not go to Android or iPhone.

Sometimes i have this thinking...
we all should give ourself a BIG break, pause from visiting this forum, pause to find informations for any leaks...RIM can do whatever they like, or even pause to having a BB and start to try other phones....in the end it will benefit to all of us...we'll be less stress, less speculate, less wondering and less imagine... better to just close our eyes and open it when that our dream phones just in stores near home. Thats the time we press that play buttons back..
Sadly but true..

Imo they want to sell there current generation OS6 phones and are afraid if they leak details of there new gen with QNX that people will wait.
i have to wait 18/24month between upgrades so i will be waiting as i am very content with my 9700 now it has OS6.

What do you think it is!? | I think you are reading far too much into it, a far more logical conclusion is simply that they have never liked leaks and have been working to plug those leaks.
We have seen some mentions of a new storm, a touch bold etc. but nothing concrete and maybe that is simply the way things are going to be going forward.

It could be that they don't have anything to leak. Same old refreshes and what not. If they do have something, not they really know how to build excitement for their products. I'm so giddy about rumored RIM products that hopefully ill be toting an android device after the holidays.

I think right now they are devoting everything to the Playbook, and phones running a new yet to be seen OS, and hitching their wagon to it. Look at their answer now for every complaint that comes up about the phones "We are ahead, look at the Playbook!". A device that no one can touch but them, and that is still 3 months from delivery. I think they know that refreshes and the limited OS 6 release just isn't going to cut it in countries where Blackberry is established, and Apple and Android are taking the lion's share of the new smartphone market. They are hopefully working hard to come out with some fantastic phones this summer or they may become irrelevant in the consumer space in the US.

Such a generic/n00b type post for somebody that is very well informed.

What do you think it is!? | Hey friends!
First of all: Nice to "hear" something from you sal. Good know that you are still alive! ;-)
I think, I might know the reason why...
The carrierers and "we" are the reason why RIM won't bring out some leaks.
They had a really big problem after the Storm refresh...
They just wanted to throw some more refreshs on the market, but then they realized,
that thats not working as they wanted it...
Carriers refused to the the "new" models - so RIM strategy came out of control.
I think, they thought:
"Let's do some refreshes and that's it for a while - until duo cores are good enough for the market".
So, we didn't like that and RIM doesn't really have something new till then...
As Mike said: "No, 1GHz processor on a BB".
So, there are no plans except refreshes...
But there would be a solution for it:
RIM "only" should add Flash - and they wouldn't be that far away for competitors
But I don't know if the 624MHz has enough power for that...
