Say what you will about BlackBerrys -- although with the Bold 9800 slider and OS 6, things might be looking up -- Research in Motion is still doing strong in the pocketbooks. The company just released its first fiscal quarter 2011 results with revenue growth of 24 percent year-over-year, and here's the rounded-number kicker: its 11.2 million shipments of smartphones this quarter has raised total shipments to over 100 million BlackBerrys. Quite a feat, but enough chit chat about the past -- what does the future hold? In a conference call pertaining to the fiscal results, RIM alluded to two new devices shipping soon, with one for the summer and one closer to fall. We'd bet a pretty penny one of them is the aforementioned slider, but as for the second? Guess we'll just wait and see.
Hmm 100 million? At the current rate, it will take Android only 2 years or so to catch up to 100 mil...LOL
The blackberry app world is a clusterF*ck , ever used it? You select a category for example, , then you have to select a sub category, rather than just get a list of the most popular , paid, or free from that category.
They need to fix it like the android market.
Also the apps are trash, nothing good at all. Not even a decent youtube app, for uploading full length videos (not just a few mb)
Its almost worse than Nokia
They do exist (faints)
just want a candybar touchscreen blackberry with a slightly bigger screen than the 9700. are you listening rim?!?!?!?!?!??!
@dannyry
sounds like a job for RIM. or, "RIMjob" for short.
This phone just looks wrong
Touchpad + Touchscreen? I dont get it...
@Jack
You are so ignorant. You can't always make a linear extrapolation to compare things. It's a bit more complicated than that, kid.
"Apple isn't going after the enterprise market, and RIM should be thankful for that."
Apple and RIM appear to be headed for a huge battle but in fact there is no contest. Trendy vs solid business performer. Both have great engineering. Apple has more points for the apps (even without Flash) - but loses them all in an enterprise context as they would likely be blocked by policies.
For personal/professional use, the iPhone appears to remain popular.
We are Canadians! Go RIM!!!
The company sold 11.2 million BlackBerries and has now shipped over 100 million ... improvements if RIM want's to continue to sell millions of BlackBerries. ...
