That's part of why RIM is slipping.]]>May 20th 2008 7:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/us-handset-sales-droop-in-q1-rim-slides-into-top-5/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/us-handset-sales-droop-in-q1-rim-slides-into-top-5/May 20th 2008 7:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/us-handset-sales-droop-in-q1-rim-slides-into-top-5/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/us-handset-sales-droop-in-q1-rim-slides-into-top-5/My iPhone works really well for sending emails, and I have no problem with its capabilities the other way around. But if I was in a position that heavy BB users are, it would drive me insane; same for any other phone that I've owned, and I would imagine any other w/o RIM service.]]>May 20th 2008 7:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/us-handset-sales-droop-in-q1-rim-slides-into-top-5/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/us-handset-sales-droop-in-q1-rim-slides-into-top-5/
On reading the linked article then reading the above article again, I realized RIM did in fact "slide" up into the top five, rather than down to #5. That's what I get for skimming.

But as for my original comment, we have been having problems since the "service outage" of not getting all the messages. The linked email account gets everything, but the BB doesn't receive all of them. It may be fixed now; I'm with our help desk, but I'm primarily LAN-related, not mobile issues.]]>May 20th 2008 7:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/us-handset-sales-droop-in-q1-rim-slides-into-top-5/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/us-handset-sales-droop-in-q1-rim-slides-into-top-5/

In a nutshell, the US market is not enough! Nokia has around 40% of WW share (incl US) vs. Motorola's 10%. And Nok seems to be gaining more and more and Mot keeps dropping it. :( ]]>May 20th 2008 10:12AM
