eBBM is days old, and the only thing we know about its launch is that the update was a mess, and is leading to more user desertion, frustration, and general ridicule. BlackBerry can come out with BBM Teleporter for all any of us cares - the fact is that growth this quarter was ZERO, and if people are fed up with its stability and reliability when it's free, they are not going to be all that impressed when they're paying for it.
Let's be honest now, regardless of whether or not my mother lives under a bridge: the problems I've raised are real, and the numbers are showing it. A 50% dropout rate is very, very poor, and once bitten twice shy is a real phenomenon. BBMx is the ugly duckling at today's ER party and we ignore it to our self-delusion.
That's it from me on the topic for now. I'm off to sell some of my shares and perhaps go and (finally?) buy a Z30...it's been a very good day.
