RIM took the thunder away from iOS 5 launch
- My local news reported the outages in the news today. Even the anchors said "People still use Blackberries?"..and then they all proceeded to laugh.
As much as you hope that this will put RIM in the picture..it won't. RIM's stock and mind share is dropping faster than a groupie's pants on a tour bus..10-13-11 01:59 PMLike 0 - You poor saps. This is proof that politics, religion and fanboys make no(n) sense.
Yes Blackberry is very much still relevant. Hip Hip Horaaay!!! But you are not realizing that there is a transition occurring.
This is not a celebrity reality series. Disgruntled customers mean lower profit margins (since it's not a monopoly). I'm sure Apple isn't crying over RIM's outages either. When customers are angry/unsatisfied all you have to do is point to the exit and they will jump ship. Stop getting high of your own fodder.10-13-11 02:35 PMLike 0 - Accidental PostSlayer of MisinformationOkay so it went like this in the Board room:
"Hey everyone you know Apple is launching iOS5."
Boardroom responds: Mumble mumble and someone says "hey I have an idea let's take our systems down that will show them!"
The Co-Ceos nod their head in agreement.
And there you go how RIM outdid Apple...............10-13-11 02:39 PMLike 0 - Tre LawrenceBetween RealitiesOkay so it went like this in the Board room:

LOL... I wish I can believe that there are not people who believe that this is good for RIM.10-13-11 02:47 PMLike 0 - I have to admit, I too thought that for a company that is supposedly "washed up and dead", there sure was an uproar when it didn't work. But, it in no way was a good thing for RIM.10-13-11 03:28 PMLike 0
