RIM stock price - Globe and Mail
Some analyst thinks RIM had an underwhelming booth at WMC, and some other analyst thinks there will be soft sales this quarter. I don't see these things as big news, but the media sure likes to comment on it.
Here's a quote from the Globe and Mail today (March 5):
"Furthermore, given that RIM did not launch any new smartphones at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) last month, Android- and Windows-powered smartphones are catching up on the attractive features of the BlackBerry devices, he added."
Unless I missed something, Apple didn't release any new phones either. Am I right on that? So why did RIM get mentioned. One thing I think RIM should do is STOP putting out so many different kinds of phones. Stick with two or three. I get lost with all the numbers. If they did release a new phone at WMC, it would have been the new 9352, or some other crazy number. And no one would notice..
ALSO, a nice back handed compliment "catching up to the attractive features of the Blackberry devices".
Still no media coverage of the iPhone security problems. Oh ya, no one cares.. Go Apple. Bash RIM.
When does that Marketing guy get hired at RIM? Can't be soon enough.
