RIM needs to standardize on Service Books!!!
Who thinks RIM should standardize on Service Books? The idea here is that right now in order to get a BB working with a carrier, a compatible function service books must be provisioned by that carrier to your handset or the BB handset will not work. Currently T-Mobile customers with Storms are experiencing these issues most likely because RIM's upgraded the service books revisions on the carrier for an upcoming handset release or OS availability change. That being said, there's a much better way that RIM should employ to fix these kinds of issues.
They need to take the basic functions of the handset (email, browser, etc.) and make standardized handsets for ALL BBs on ALL carriers regardless of if that carrier sells a perticular model or not. That way, people can be free to use a BB of their choice on a carrier of their choice... but of course, this is probably what RIM doesn't want to do because of their Nazi like control business model. Perhaps if they want people to continue to openly use their devices around the end users' needs, they should pay closer attention to what the customer actually wants. :rolleyes:
