This thing looks ancient like an old LG flip, better luck next time...]]>Aug 30th 2008 9:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/blackberry-kickstart-8220-surfaces-on-ebay-trigger-fingers-get/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/blackberry-kickstart-8220-surfaces-on-ebay-trigger-fingers-get/
You just described Apple there. I don't see how BlackBerry is doing this.

How are they putting RIM out of business? LOL. I didn't know RIM was in any sort of financial trouble or even close to it. I didn't know selling a few million products begins to put the competition out of business. I guess Nintendo is putting Sony/Microsoft out of business with the Wii's strong and continuous sales. Pfft...]]>Aug 30th 2008 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/blackberry-kickstart-8220-surfaces-on-ebay-trigger-fingers-get/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/blackberry-kickstart-8220-surfaces-on-ebay-trigger-fingers-get/Aug 30th 2008 1:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/blackberry-kickstart-8220-surfaces-on-ebay-trigger-fingers-get/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/blackberry-kickstart-8220-surfaces-on-ebay-trigger-fingers-get/What evidence do you have that they aren't in financial trouble?

-stock is way down
-most people are buying iPhone instead of old rim tech
-the percentage of businesses buying iPhone is up( and blackberry is down)
-the app store is killing blackberry one sale at a time

Like honestly, do they expect people to buy the bold? It looks ten years old. Ew]]>Aug 30th 2008 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/blackberry-kickstart-8220-surfaces-on-ebay-trigger-fingers-get/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/blackberry-kickstart-8220-surfaces-on-ebay-trigger-fingers-get/
"A large chunky flip phone = 4-5 years old design. Explained."

A design is not a feature. Nice try.

Where are you getting this information? It's all untrue. Give me some facts please. Stop being a troll.]]>Aug 30th 2008 8:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/blackberry-kickstart-8220-surfaces-on-ebay-trigger-fingers-get/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/blackberry-kickstart-8220-surfaces-on-ebay-trigger-fingers-get/
afaik iphones don't even offer push email, and absolute necessity in business... blackberries have amazing enterprise level management tools, like for instance your employer can remotely disable the camera on all their employee's phones as they walk into a building, or they can remotely upgrade the software and manage dozens or hundreds of devices at once if need be.. they have their own custom dedicated email servers which give professional level encryption and other weird enterprise level crap that large businesses require. blackberries have a full, tactile qwerty keyboard that people have spent half a dozen years getting proficient at, these companies have invested tens of thousands of dollars on blackberry hardware, blackberry software, and blackberry enterprise server licenses, their employees are maybe even given blackberry training for proficiency, their tech guys certainly are given training, expensive training, on the setup and maintainence of blackberry servers.
there's no way these large corporations are going to ditch their current investment and blow way, way more money on a less functional and more complicated device.]]>Aug 30th 2008 10:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/blackberry-kickstart-8220-surfaces-on-ebay-trigger-fingers-get/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/blackberry-kickstart-8220-surfaces-on-ebay-trigger-fingers-get/-most people are buying iPhone instead of old rim tech

Stock is way down. GREAT reason for proving RIM is going out of business. So no stock can drop 5 dollars? Damn, a LOT of companies are in danger man, everyone carrying any stock that fell $5 should be beware!

Hah, what you're saying doesn't make any sense STILL! Just because Apple has a tremendous selling of the iPhone 3G, DOES NOT mean RIM is going bankrupt or going out of business anytime soon. (2-3 years of market growth, I think 600%?, does not get wiped out because Apple introduces the iPhone 3G and sells a few million...)

As for your third point. Now I know you're on something. Where is your proof that the iPhone has become THE choice for business communication? Sure e-mail works on the iPhone but is no way near what BlackBerry has to offer, maybe in the future it will be, but right now don't think so...]]>Aug 30th 2008 10:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/blackberry-kickstart-8220-surfaces-on-ebay-trigger-fingers-get/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/blackberry-kickstart-8220-surfaces-on-ebay-trigger-fingers-get/Aug 30th 2008 9:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/blackberry-kickstart-8220-surfaces-on-ebay-trigger-fingers-get/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/blackberry-kickstart-8220-surfaces-on-ebay-trigger-fingers-get/Aug 30th 2008 9:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/blackberry-kickstart-8220-surfaces-on-ebay-trigger-fingers-get/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/blackberry-kickstart-8220-surfaces-on-ebay-trigger-fingers-get/Aug 30th 2008 9:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/blackberry-kickstart-8220-surfaces-on-ebay-trigger-fingers-get/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/blackberry-kickstart-8220-surfaces-on-ebay-trigger-fingers-get/Aug 30th 2008 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/blackberry-kickstart-8220-surfaces-on-ebay-trigger-fingers-get/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/blackberry-kickstart-8220-surfaces-on-ebay-trigger-fingers-get/Aug 31st 2008 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/blackberry-kickstart-8220-surfaces-on-ebay-trigger-fingers-get/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/blackberry-kickstart-8220-surfaces-on-ebay-trigger-fingers-get/Aug 30th 2008 10:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/blackberry-kickstart-8220-surfaces-on-ebay-trigger-fingers-get/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/blackberry-kickstart-8220-surfaces-on-ebay-trigger-fingers-get/
