i LOVE the new iphone, the camera and video cam in HD blows my mind how clear it is.
but i still wont let this 9700 slip away, my 9700 is a potent power house willing to do what i need it to do, it lasts a couple days before i need to charge it, its easy to throw a sms or pin msg out there in a matter of seconds..
thats why i love my berry, its stable, potent, plus i can put on any os, app, hybrid i want, whenever i want.07-05-10 03:40 PMLike 0 - avt123O.G.to each his own.

Other OS ports have only been done on Android, iPhone, WinMo and Nokia devices I believe.07-05-10 03:44 PMLike 0 -
i meant like any OS version, like .743 or whatever, i could switch to what i think is best, try any new version, or hybrid with a mix of files to whatever i think works best.
RIM is still up their in the rankings, read the wiki.
On 18 August 2009, Fortune Magazine named RIM as the fastest growing company in the world with a growth of 84% in profits over three years despite the recession.

I think people who buy phones (or computers) because they think those things "look cool" are foolish. I hope BlcakBerry never becomes a toy like iphone or android.07-05-10 04:02 PMLike 0
- As its been said, RIM isn't trying to keep up with the EVOs, Droids and iPhones out there...
They are what they are, either take it or leave it. Funny thing is, they still continue to sell extremely well(posting better numbers each quarter).
I think their purpose is to have a Smart *messaging* phone. Not so much a super smart *media* phone. If that makes sense...Last edited by MACKSnare519; 07-05-10 at 04:08 PM.

What gets better then a 2ghz Dual Core Snap Dragon Proc, with 8mp Cam, and full HD video, and HDMI output?
RIMS got there hands full.....07-05-10 04:08 PMLike 0 - RIMS phones compared to Android phones are well, a year behind schedule.

Fun stuff? There are some fun apps. I usually delete them though because I would rather have fun by interacting with people. My xbox360 works well too.
Of course the games are a waste of time. You play them when you have time to waste. But, it sounds like you are another CEO on this forum so I guess you never have time to waste.
A lot of people buy BBs because they think they are cool and think it will make them look cooler and more important. Sorry to burst your bubble but BBs are already toys. Some users use them that way. BBs are no exception.
iPhone and Android are not toys. The USER turns them into toys. Same goes for BB. I don't see anything about a stock iPhone or Android devices that screams "PLAY ME!" when you first turn it on. BBs are the ones that come with games pre-installed (for business use of course).07-05-10 04:18 PMLike 0 - I think the "cool apps" that android and iphone are touted for are not cool, the "fun stuff" is not fun, and the games are a waste of time.

As a school teacher that has 6th-12th graders, I see just as many middle and high school students walking around with Blackberries as I do iPhones and Droids. Blackberries are not the uber ultra elite status phones some of y'all make them out to be. I would actually say that far more middle and high school kids have Blackberries than iPhones and Droids due to you can go and get BBs for under a hundred and half the time, you buy 1 and get 4 free.
And, by the way, I don't need a 9800 that's coming out. I'm getting it because it looks cool.07-05-10 04:52 PMLike 0 - HAHAHA BULL SHIZZLE. what is the Storm then? its funny how people seem to forget about the Storm and Storm 2 which was / are RIM's answer to the iphone a pathetic one but it was an attempt and they failed. So BB users over look the storm and just look at all the keyboard models and say RIM does not compete with the iphone when they actually have tried.07-05-10 05:05 PMLike 0
- Apple and HTC changed the entire mobile phone market over night. Its just that some companies i.e. motorola, rim, and a few others thought no one would care about a touch screen device or maybe they didn't see a reason to add new features into a phone. whatever the case was, the change happened fast. RIM/BB chose to push into the consumer market when they weren't ready. They should of stayed a business phone only with the option for consumers to purchase if they want. But to say and market to the consumers devices that are laughable compared to anything other there is funny.07-05-10 05:12 PMLike 0

I don't really see Apple Moving forward much more than Blackberry is, just apple Started much further ahead in the game for the consumer.
RIM does not understand the consumer yet, I think they are just starting to get it, but they have a long history they have to over come that Apple and Android did not have to deal with, Just like Microsoft with Windows 7, RIM will catch up, and they might slip a little in the market, but they will come back they are to entrenched and hopefully have learned from Palm.07-05-10 06:13 PMLike 0 - The QNX acquisition may be what the NeXT acquisition was to Apple. But it's going to be another year at minimum before we see results, and that's a while in the mobile space.
For now, RIM is a sitting duck. Their products are in the position to keep the existing users, but not to attract new ones. I doubt anyone will be jumping ship back from an iPhone or an Android device to the 9800. When the only thing keeping a lot of users on your platform is a proprietary technology (BBM), you're in **** creek without a paddle.07-05-10 06:16 PMLike 0 - The QNX acquisition may be what the NeXT acquisition was to Apple.

there is a huge Slider market, will the 9800 capture it don't know
there is also a fan base for Flip phones, RIM could capture that.
Then you have people who get Blackberries as their first smartphone because they want the perceived durability of a smaller screen over a full screen.
Many people are coming back from iPhones/Androids NOW with more options and a smoother OS, they will still come back maybe more.
OH! and QNX was open source before RIM purchased it so they could already have 6 months of development before making the purchase, so it wont exactly be like NeXt but we can hope that it does something for the platform and make RIM a consumer contender.Last edited by deRusett; 07-05-10 at 06:23 PM.
