- This phone needs to be released now.
the stock is flirting with disaster. Im not kidding about that either.
If they do not release it now, it will get stuck in the release window of the iphone5, galaxy s II, Bionic, HP's phones.
This is not a good place to be, considering the galaxy S II and the iphone 5 will be huge.
Even if the phone is a mess it needs to be released and then patched quickly.
otherwise next earnings call when the playbook numbers are released its going to be bad and you will have RIMM at a 4 year low.
Full disclosure: I just yesterday purchased RIMM shares at $45 purely on a technical long hold. But if they dont release this phone and all they have to go on is playbook numbers(which will be bad) it will be a bad day for all those people above me at $60.05-10-11 05:18 PMLike 0 - This phone needs to be released now.

So put out the 90% done product, like you said the bb addicts are going to buy it anyways. Good or bad reviews. The Torch had bad initial reviews.
Now is the time for BB to protect its stock over the summer with the bold touch release. Then release its other phones from sept-dec.
From what i read of their estimated arrival dates, they are all supposed to be released around the same time. thats a big mistake as well. But thats a different discussion.05-10-11 05:50 PMLike 0 - Aha!
If they said that they lied to you, used to be fairly senior in Vodafone before the recent wave of firing us to hire people in Egypt. None of the sales managers know the time frame for release of new devices until it goes out to the public. They have the same clearance as the people who take the calls.
The only person who would know is the OPs manager and the is only one of those for the sales part of the business in the UK and they'd be fired for giving out the info.

- Talked to a co-worker the other day(she has a Tour.)Said she wants to get a new phone desperately,so I asked her which.She replied with the iPhone and when I asked her why,she said,and I quote,"because everyone else has one."05-14-11 04:10 PMLike 0
- Yeah I have co-workers like that too but then I work at the phone company but still I grow tired of the mindless masses that by iPhones because "its an Apple product" or "my friend has one".
BB people buy Berrys because "its does what I need it to do"....
