Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / ATT Wireless / June 2008The BlackBerry is in for a bruising
The BlackBerry is in for a bruising By Scott Moritz Research in Motion (RIMM) takes the stage this week to preach to a gathering of its faithful in Florida during the Canadian company’s annual Wireless Enterprise Symposium. But just as the BlackBerry maker seems to be reaching the height of success, its flock may well start to stray. Not only will followers be tempted by new devices like Apple’s (AAPL) forthcoming business-friendly iPhone, other sect members will face excommunication as cost-cutting initiatives sweep through the office ranks. Check out the full Fortune Magazine article at http://techland.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2008/05/12/the-blackberry-is-in-for-a-brui sing/?for-a-bruisingthe-blackberry-is-in-for-a-bruising/ While you are there also check out the related article about Sprint Sprint’s best customers are hanging up http://techland.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2008/05/12/sprints-best-customers-are-leaving/ What famous American fruit phone has is mentioned in both stories? Too bad so sad for Sprint and Rim. 4phun <vic.healey@gmail.com> wrote in news:a7f3a5dc-f228-41e0-aca8- 01177edcd865@a23g2000hsc.googlegroups.com: > The BlackBerry is in for a bruising http://fortuneapple20.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/picture-35.jpg Vic, Vic, VIC! Look CLOSELY at this picture....No, take off the purple-filtered Apple glasses for a minute. Now, Iphone is second to RIM in NORTH AMERICA, a fast-becoming secondary market across the planet. ...And, once again, RIM wipes its a.s with an old product that's been out for a long time like a Palm Pilot. Now, let's look at the BIGGER picture away from the ATT backwards network, with or without Starbucks this hour..... Notice how much WIDER the BLACK band is across the graph at the TOP EACH quarter since the graphs start, compared to that little purple slice piled upon the more mature technologies. Now, look at the DIFFERENCES in how tall the Red (Linux) and Orange (Symbian) bands are from Q2 to Q3 at the right. The DIFFERENCE in thickness of the Orange band is TWICE as tall as the whole purple band. The DIFFERENCE in thickness of the Red band is THREE TIMES as tall as the whole purple band! Both Linux and Symbian smartphone sales INCREASED LOTS MORE than the WHOLE SALES TOTAL of both iPhones or RIM products. Symbian smartphones outsold the TOTAL SALES of Iphones PLUS RIMS PLUS Micro$oft smartphones by 350%! Now, put the Purple-filtered Apple glasses back on and erase the chart from your browser before anyone else besides all of us start laughing so hard at you.... More NEW Smartphones in Q3 run SYMBIAN than ALL the RIMs and iPhones ever sold on the PLANET! Ask yourself WHY? Here's some reasons: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://mosh.nokia.com/ on MOSH * Themes (2069) * Ringtones (3874) * Wallpaper (14205) * Widgets (408) They put more freeware on MOSH TODAY, than the sum total of all software ever written for iPhone, RIMphones, WMphones...EVER!

This is gving me a headache. I think I will see if I can past those protesters down the street and get into Mulligans for a beer so I will not think about Apple's foreign competition. Norman, Mulligan's owner, is about as controversal as Larry. http://www.ajc.com/health/content/metro/cobb/stories/2008/05/13/mulligans_0514.html Just down the street from Marietta's famous Big Chicken, Mulligan's has carved a provocative niche in an increasingly multicultural area, thanks to its owner's ultra-conservative political views... Among his recent musings: "I wish Hillary had married OJ," "No habla espanol -- and never will" and the standard "I.N.S. Agents eat free." Oh... and his new Obama T-Shirt... http://img.coxnewsweb.com/B/07/14/49/image_7049147.jpg Maybe I can get him to make a Nokia T-Shirt - any ideas? 4phun <vic.healey@gmail.com> wrote in news:33548152-faff-4b05-8146- a43d6d42535d@b64g2000hsa.googlegroups.com: > This is gving me a headache.

Waitaminute! You were braggin about how much smaller your iPhone was than my N800.....Now, all of a sudden, smaller ISN'T better? Which way is it?

You can't keep flip floppin like Hillary Clinton! Add to the fact, can you make a phone call or use wireless services on an N800? And I'm not talking about it being tethered, linked, connected to a phone. > Add to the fact, can you make a phone call or use wireless services on > an N800? And I'm not talking about it being tethered, linked, > connected to a phone. Huh? iPhones are all tethered, linked, connected to a phone....their own phone. Why is that different, other than airtime charges? Yes, I make calls on the N800 over several VoIP systems like Skype or Gizmo or your favorite flavor of SIP VoIP all the time. While waiting for my Mercedes service this morning, I was called by someone I know in Siberia. We were worried about someone we both know in Osaka, JP, so I conferenced him on Skype and the 3 of us talked for about 40 minutes, using the free wifi at my Mercedes shop they provide their customers as a service. I could have done it if I had the new Sony Playstation Portable 2000 with Skype, just as well.....which I think is just slick as snot!....(c; Can you call anyone on iPhones without being tethered to a sellphone company?
