- I'm not impressed either. A successor to the Tour and the Pearl that don't do anything really huge that the 9700 doesn't already do. I love the BlackBerry line, but it's not going to jump off the page like some of the stuff coming out from HTC, Apple, Dell, etc.
If RIM thought that the two devices they released today were going to change things drastically, they've lost it. They've got business users locked down, that's for sure, but they're going to lose consumers if they keep releasing devices that are nominal upgrades over their predecessors. That goes for the OS and the hardware.
I watched a 20 minute review of the HTC Incredible today and was blown away by how cutting edge it is. It blows the doors off the Eris and Droid in both hardware and software. When has RIM ever made such a drastic leap?

So far BB's have been immune to viruses/worms and other drastic bugs whereby a simple text message can potentially open you up to attack. From that point of view RIM is doing great work.04-26-10 04:48 PMLike 0 -
Don't dismiss it so out-of-hand.

Moot. Come back when it actually happens, paranoia isnt an excuse to stifle innovation.04-26-10 05:13 PMLike 0 - I'm not impressed either.

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com04-26-10 05:20 PMLike 0 - 3G on a Pearl jumps out at me. 256MB jumps out at me. My 8120 is not so smart now!
512 MB on 9650 jumps out at me ! twice what my wife's 9700 has!
Please let TMOBILE get something in this ballpark. Could we hope for a memory boost in the 9700 if not?04-26-10 08:26 PMLike 0 - It doesn't look like RIM has made any announcements that have impressed the investors. Stock is down almost 3%.

3 out of 4 stocks follow the general market; a given stock may go up or down simply because the Dow Jones or S&P is swinging wildly one way or the other.
I wouldn't pay too much attention to what millions of nuerotic, irrational investors are doing.04-27-10 07:47 AMLike 0 -
- That depends. If a stock had a run up in anticipation of good news or no news and just ran up with the market and/or sector, and comes out with bad news it's doubtful that it will go up after that. But if a stock is beaten up then comes out with bad news, it could rally from there depending on lots of factors. If the news is bad, but not as bad as expected, it could run, or if the bad news has already been factored in, it could run, not to mention short squeezes, etc. There are no rules however written in stone what stocks will do in reaction to news. Depends on tons of factors.04-27-10 09:31 AMLike 0

To answer your second point, yes, I find the specs and screen on the Incredible to be rather innovative. You seem to find the 91xx (which is the same form factor of the old phone, with a nicer screen, trackpad, and boosted specs) to be a "massive upgrade. Yet I'm wrong for saying that a phone that introduces an upgraded Sense UI - which was impressive to begin with (same goes for Motoblur on the Moto Droids) - is "innovative?"
The bottom line is that if you sit down and watch the reviews for the Incredible, and the previews for the upcoming HTC EVO, you'd see that BlackBerry is falling way behind in the interface and the spec department. Other than those two things, the only point people have left is security, and possibly push e-mail.
Someone makes a valid point, you don't have a counter, so you resort to sarcasm. Don't get me wrong, I love my Storm 9550 and Tour 9630 A LOT, but I'd be lying if I said I think RIM is keeping up with the Android and Apple interface in both appeal (looks) and features. If they got Android devices running perfect push e-mail like BlackBerry tomorrow, there wouldn't be much left for RIM to point to as an advantage.04-27-10 01:19 PMLike 0 - You're comparing apples and oranges with the 81xx and 91xx. The 81xx series was first released in September of 2006, and the 91xx is going to be released next month. Over the course of two and half years, I would hope it was a massive upgrade over a phone that's closing in on three years old.
Presumably, RIM is saving the best for last this year -- getting the dumb clamshell, the Pearl on steroids, and the CDMA-9700 9650 out first before coming out with the 9800 and the Dakota.04-27-10 01:36 PMLike 0
