PS - I like how the idea was that there'd be software updates galore to fix issues but these updates are released at such a glacial pace and while fixing many issues tend to introduce new ones at the same time. ]]>Apr 18th 2010 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/this-day-in-engadget-rim-ceo-mike-lazaridis-talks-about-his-fir/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/this-day-in-engadget-rim-ceo-mike-lazaridis-talks-about-his-fir/Apr 17th 2010 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/this-day-in-engadget-rim-ceo-mike-lazaridis-talks-about-his-fir/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/this-day-in-engadget-rim-ceo-mike-lazaridis-talks-about-his-fir/

One year from now I guarantee their US marketshare will be #2 or lower (most likely lower).]]>Apr 17th 2010 12:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/this-day-in-engadget-rim-ceo-mike-lazaridis-talks-about-his-fir/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/this-day-in-engadget-rim-ceo-mike-lazaridis-talks-about-his-fir/
I doubt you have an understanding of what you are saying, my friend. A year is 4 "quarters". RIMM just announced a better than expected profit, so it is obvious they aren't loosing money. They must be doing something right, especially considering that they aren't attempting to "take-over" the touch-screen market. They have a formula that works, and even though that formula has been around for a while, it wont take "a year" for Blackberry to drop to 2% of the market share.

How can you "guarantee" such a thing? You're word carries no value in such a conversation.]]>Apr 17th 2010 1:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/this-day-in-engadget-rim-ceo-mike-lazaridis-talks-about-his-fir/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/this-day-in-engadget-rim-ceo-mike-lazaridis-talks-about-his-fir/Apr 17th 2010 1:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/this-day-in-engadget-rim-ceo-mike-lazaridis-talks-about-his-fir/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/this-day-in-engadget-rim-ceo-mike-lazaridis-talks-about-his-fir/

Sounds to me like someone needs to rtfm. I have no problem easily finding the last call. Just one click, thats all. Asking about speed dial when entering a number? Um, best check your options. Again, RTFM.

RIM has seen more people buy there phones, despite the mantra that EVERYONE wants a touch screen device.

Apparently RIM has a bead on a large segment of the population that just wants what they offer.

Where is it written they we all have to have one or the other?
