"No wonder RIM's share price was down today."

---The outage has nothing to do with RIMs share price being down genius. Do you trade that stock? I think not cause no trader i know makes that assumption. Lets do this. You go short, Ill go long. lets see whos the right.

"It appears that RIM is going down for the count since companies will soon be starting to dump BlackBerrys for alternate, less costly solutions."

---Oh okay. What are the alternate solutions that are less costly?

"Everyone wants a free ride with Android."

---Name one a fortune 500 company (except GOOG) that has android as their choice for secure email. I thought so.

The BB fanboys always talk about how wonderful BB's proprietary mail
server is until the outage occurs! LOL This isn't the first time and won't be
the last time I'm afraid.
