Re: Seriously Fox News???
I doubt it'll do bad iPhone and Android have dominated the market for quite some time. Folks who I have talked to say they are willing to try it just because they're sick of their iPhone or sick of their Android and already tried the competition and don't feel comfortable with it. So regardless of how launch goesRIM is going to have people trying their product, now the question is will they like it or will not? That depends on preference and if it impresses.

That said....BB10 is make or break for RIM in the U.S. Anyone who hasn't got blinders on can see that.
I want to hump this post so hard...
FAUX news pays salaries to Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity. As long as they consider those buffoons employable, and Rupert murdoch calls the shots, they are a second class opinion station.

It is known that RIM shipped out 7+ Million phones last quarter but end users bought 10+ Million (still clearing out overly high inventory of BBOS devices). These are old BBOS phones. Markets with heavy saturation of Android and iOS RIM is doing poorly in with the current dated offerings. Also how many people are still using BB in these markets and may be waiting for BB10 or coming towards the end of their contracts? The "Marketshare" numbers in this document is based on sales, not users, and majority of people can't buy multiple phones per year, much less even yearly. I'm actually impressed that RIM is still selling 10 Million devices in a quarter to end users give the age of the product line and the changes in the smartphone market. BB10 will give RIM a product offering that actually has a chance to compete in the mature markets shown in the link provided. In the end we'll have to see how 2013 plays out for RIM sales in the markets shown in this link though, as that will decided if RIM is really going to make a comeback with BB10.
As I stated when I posted, I am unfamiliar with the site so I take the data as interest and not gospel. I like to look at sales.
If there are counter numbers of actual global sales, please do include them.
I posted numbers I found. Not making an argument either way nor giving reasons. Just numbers.
The reported erosion is more than I had anticipated.
