RIM is falling behind, let's face it.
- Ya it says the haven't changed :P
The BlackBerry device is still business orientated but RIM now has a good chunk of the consumer market now days and they should use it for their benefit and keep the consumers with BlackBerry not just wait for them to move on and then do something. What you said about email isn't entirely true. BIS users can't even sync send messages from the computer to their phone and they can't receive attachments on their phones bigger then a few mb.
Also to the comment about BlackBerrys for 12 year olds BlackBerry is now reaching into the hands of 12 year old and some 12 year olds do own them. I got my first BlackBerry for my 14th birthday.
Heck, my sister came into my room and grabbed my phone thinking it was a brick and used it to prop up a chair that had one leg shorter than the other 3.03-23-10 09:45 PMLike 0 - Now let's not go to far comparing it to those childrens toys. It is indeed a business adult oriented phone. HOwever in doing so it comes out looking like a big early 1900s radar signaling device.

RIM is desperate to jump on the consumer bandwagon and is not having any real success doing so. Within 2 years RIM will be at the bottom of the market share totem pole. Both iPhone and Android are gobbling up the several years of lead RIM had and squandered.03-23-10 09:53 PMLike 0
- It's not what i want my BlackBerry to do. It's what BlackBerry should have already been doing. It's the standard. It's what every single other platform other than BLackBerry has already obtained. So your saying bB is too good and high and mighty that they don't need to keep up to pace with technology? With that type of thinking it's no wonder the human race hasn't evolved further yet. What the heck are we going to do with a Bold 9700 50 years from now? Same old 3.2 megapixel camera, same old bb os.03-23-10 09:53 PMLike 0

- I am sorry but the android is very generic. Its just a copy of the iphone. Rim and its blackberry are for mature people that need a great cellphone and instant email service. When I mess with the iphone or any android its great but I really dont walk around scanning bar codes, wondering what direction I am heading, or how much is a 15% tip. If that what you want then great but you can do that with an ipod touch or ipad and not have the monthly payment. Blackberry is different its alternate its just really that good of a phone.03-23-10 10:09 PMLike 0

Now tell me this if BlackBerry's email is so great why can't I see my sent items on my BlackBerry and why do half the attachments that I receive never end up reaching my phone?03-23-10 10:16 PMLike 0 - It's not what i want my BlackBerry to do.

- I never said I didn't like my berry. In fact I stated before that I like my storm 2 because it is so much better than my stupid storm 1 i finally got rid of. However, that doesn't mean that RIM is not falling behind, and not showing enough improvement. It doesnt mean that Android is passing rim up in user experience with flying colors yet rim remains stale and stagnant, tyring to perfect their slow bbm.....03-23-10 10:35 PMLike 0

But I never see any BB commercials anymore, nor have I seen any with U2, I have just seen the Love ones.03-23-10 10:39 PMLike 0 - teens want to feel like a cool adult so they are buying bb when they know nothing about how to even use one. they need to just stick with android and iphone for the games and stuff. on the other hand it is boring and restrained so would keep good restraint of a young teen because they cant do anything on their phone reallly so parents dont have to worry much. and push messages. "get your but home right now!" and they instantly get it.03-23-10 10:42 PMLike 0
