    I think that we see a response from them is a good sign. Someone is awake over there, they are paying attention.

    oh my freak'n god, they are bragging about $695 million in revenue for the quarter... what they arent telling you is that the same quarter last year they made $769 million, and over $900 million before that.

    down down down go both revenues and shareholder value.

    those two morons in charge are playing the fiddle while rim burns...

    Technically that was profit, not revenue. Big, big difference

    And I think the letter says quite a lot:

    "We know we're behind the eight ball.
    We all know we look pretty stupid about how we've handled this in the past.
    We're trying to change to support the new technology direction.
    We wish we could have done it faster, but we didn't.
    We also wish the author of this letter had not floated it out there."

    The only reason those numbers were even included in their response was to help sooth their shareholders. Hey don't look over here where everything is a complete mess and failing apart at the seams, look over here, $3billion, yada, yada, yada...

    You can also say RIM does read its bad press cause this is the second time (at least I can remember) they responded to a BGR post.

    If I were running the ship I would not have issued a public response... What are the guys over at RIM smoking? I want some!

    I would have addressed the matter under closed session, with the people actually involved in the day to day operations of the company... The employees.

    This reply just leaves a bad taste in my mouth all round because it comes across as rather dismissive. Fail.
