No longer a rumour.... OS 2.0 coming February 2012
- I had read ALL and each one of the post completely... I can just say.... On top of the OUTAGE .... RIM Now is loosing more and more customers .... and you know what happen with companies with decisions and problems like this....
Once the plague spreads .. Everyone leaves the place .... (Translated, friend of a friend, and everyone will start buying/adopting other platforms)

- Nobody's being naive, just trying to bring a bit of humour into this thread. You remind me of a friend that had a "Palm" that boasted he had a choice of hundreds of thousands of apps, but I asked him how many calendars or Pims do you use at a time? Sure choice is great, not trying knock any particular platform. If people wanted so much to run Android apps, go ahead and buy a Samsung etc., people should have did that in the first place!10-25-11 06:52 PMLike 0
- It seems that RIM has become completely unable to produce code. I can't even imagine the chaos that must be going on in there. The fact that they have been completely unable to start picking off, one by one, even the smallest of deficiencies - like stereo bluetooth, spell check, ..etc.. you know the drill - says quite a lot to me about the complete dysfunction of the software side of their operations. I loaded OS2 developer preview. It scared me to see how glitchy and unpolished it was at this late date. I thought to myself they must be hiding the goods for some reason. Now I'm afraid that is actually as far as they have gotten. Wow.10-25-11 06:53 PMLike 6
- Crackberry as a business and a domain should be worried about this news. As everyone jumps ship they go to sites that deal with there new devices and search for help and knowledge there. The more RIM digs a bigger hole... the more Crackberry goes down with it. Sorry to say it but it's true. Crackberry has been a top of the line site for years and has the potential to pull through... I just say... good luck!void11 and anon(4018671) like this.10-25-11 06:55 PMLike 2

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com10-25-11 06:56 PMLike 0 - Kudos to them for biting the bullet and making the announcement. That's about the only positive I can give them. Buying the PB almost 2 months ago renewed some of my lost interest in RIM and their products but now that's pretty much lost again. I had been on the fence about replacing my 9700 with the 9900 but now I'm back to waiting until work starts supporting other smartphones.10-25-11 06:57 PMLike 0
- disappointing yes, not the end of the world, it is a playbook, how many did RIM sell? less than a mln, so really by far most RIM customers are unaffected by this...take it easy, just a little bump in the road10-25-11 06:58 PMLike 0

- If they get fired the company will just be more likely to collapse in general.
People automatically assume that firing the ceos will automatically fix the situation. In the middle of a failing transition (so far), it will only make things more likely to fail...

By not firing them, they will continue to make things worse. Of course, you need somebody who's credible to take over. Look at HP. They fired the moronic CEO and brought in someone with impeccable credentials. It won't magically fix all of their problems but it will at least restore some confidence in the company. RIM needs to do the same and they need to do it now. Balsilie in particular must resign or be fired.10-25-11 07:02 PMLike 2

- It won't. Not this time. Look at the comments in this thread from long time supporters. At this point there's nothing they can do or say to restore my confidence. I'll still be around because because between the wife and myself we have two new BlackBerry phones and a tablet and I'm not willing to lose hundreds of dollars selling them now but I can guarantee you that I'll never buy or recommend another RIM product ever again.10-25-11 07:04 PMLike 0

Does the iPad have 95 fart apps? I don't know, but I do know that it has 6114 business apps available right now....how many apps of ANY KIND does the PlayToy have?
Ok folks I'll be here all week and that glass thing at
my foot isn't an ashtray, it's a tip jar, because remember AMATUER HOUR IS OVER!10-25-11 07:04 PMLike 0 - It seems that RIM has become completely unable to produce code.

- I agree 100% on that... the new phones are great. But all the promises of BBX and new phones in the future may fair the same end result of the PB. Promises...Promises... Promises. How long does everyone have to wait to catch up to simple things everyone else has. The end result of this is people get sick of waiting and move on to other things. Sorry to say it but OS 8.X on new devices are a long wait away. How many long time BB users are going to wait around? This news today stands as a simple reminder to not just Tablet users but Smartphone users.10-25-11 07:08 PMLike 0
- Very disappointed with that news. Was really looking forward to a release. By the time that happens much better tabs will be out. Pretty shocked actually. No wonder investors are leaving. Nice sharp decline in the stock tomorrow. Kinda pathetic and I'm pretty pissed I wasted some cash on a web browser.
