RIM is one of the highest selling smart phone makers out there. it's not like it's struggling and this is what will make or break it. not yet at least. i feel this will only increase their already highly successful run.]]>Jul 21st 2010 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/rim-shows-off-blackberry-6-multimedia-experience-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/rim-shows-off-blackberry-6-multimedia-experience-in-pictures/Jul 21st 2010 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/rim-shows-off-blackberry-6-multimedia-experience-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/rim-shows-off-blackberry-6-multimedia-experience-in-pictures/
Totally agree. This is not Nokia we're talking about. RIM is a little slow to respond, but they still have a lot of loyal users. And it seems that the Storm kicked them a few times where it counted.]]>Jul 21st 2010 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/rim-shows-off-blackberry-6-multimedia-experience-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/rim-shows-off-blackberry-6-multimedia-experience-in-pictures/Jul 21st 2010 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/rim-shows-off-blackberry-6-multimedia-experience-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/rim-shows-off-blackberry-6-multimedia-experience-in-pictures/

BB OS 6 may not introduce any BRAND SPANKING NEW feature, but it matches the functionality of all the other OSes and has some nice tricks like enhanced iTunes syncing and face detection/event grouping.

Throw in all it's social features, notification system, true multitasking and other expected features like cut and paste and solid HTML5 support, and BB6 already blows Windows Phone 7 out of the water. It provides a reason for BB users not to jump ship, and for people upset with iPhone or Android, for whatever reason, to have another platform to legitimately consider.

I have a Droid right now but am willing to give a Storm 3 with BB OS 6 a shot.

I don't get this "it's been done before!" mentality. Android & iPhone & webOS do a lot of the same things. Windows Phone 7 barely does anything.

OS 6 is in a good spot. It's solid.]]>Jul 21st 2010 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/rim-shows-off-blackberry-6-multimedia-experience-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/rim-shows-off-blackberry-6-multimedia-experience-in-pictures/
that article has nothing to do with current marker-share. and it did not even mention RIM once in it. activations per day is not what we are talking about. nice diversions. but you are still dead wrong. blackberry is popular because of exchange support and certificate based security. grow up. RIM is not the phone for you. hell it isn't even the phone for me. I use android. but at the same time RIM is the phone for older generations and American business. and American business buys a lot of phones. RIM still has the most dominant market-share of smartphones in the US market. ]]>Jul 21st 2010 4:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/rim-shows-off-blackberry-6-multimedia-experience-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/rim-shows-off-blackberry-6-multimedia-experience-in-pictures/
I don't know about America or anyother place but here in Toronto over 70% of the younger population have BB's and over 99% of Somalis (I'm Somali) have blackberries, it is crazy popular here just for the fact of BBM. I've had an iPhone 3G,3GS, Moto Milestone & HTC Hero.

I'll tell you this, the 1 year I've had iPhones and the Androids were the most boring months of my life. You feel soo left out that I ran back to a BB 9700]]>Jul 21st 2010 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/rim-shows-off-blackberry-6-multimedia-experience-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/rim-shows-off-blackberry-6-multimedia-experience-in-pictures/
RIM may be one of the highest selling smart phones in US but in Europe it hasn't done much impression. I once had a BB in my hand and to tell the truth I just hated it....I'd rather stick with my old Symbian Nokia.

On the other hand, androids are a fast growing market here and I see some bright future for those phones.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 5:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/rim-shows-off-blackberry-6-multimedia-experience-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/rim-shows-off-blackberry-6-multimedia-experience-in-pictures/
Yes. RIM should rest on their laurels. Just like the American car business and every other company who had monstrous leads but refused to change.

I had a Blackberry for the last 7 years. I stuck it out through the bullshit color screens, lack of media player, lack of camera, them forcing me to drop the jog wheel, them forcing me to drop the track ball and on to the track pad....all because of their enterprise support and solutions.

Other phones have caught up where RIM was once dominant. It is no longer OK for them not to innovate. They are no longer the only game in town.

Guess what. I JUMPED SHIP! A month ago. If I - a loyal customer of 7 years - jumped ship along with 5 of my business partners....what do you think is gong to happen elsewhere?]]>Jul 22nd 2010 7:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/rim-shows-off-blackberry-6-multimedia-experience-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/rim-shows-off-blackberry-6-multimedia-experience-in-pictures/Jul 21st 2010 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/rim-shows-off-blackberry-6-multimedia-experience-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/rim-shows-off-blackberry-6-multimedia-experience-in-pictures/
I have to agree with you there. If RIM could make their hardware super thin, or even as thin as the Nokia E-series, then they may get more people talking and drooling.]]>Jul 21st 2010 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/rim-shows-off-blackberry-6-multimedia-experience-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/rim-shows-off-blackberry-6-multimedia-experience-in-pictures/
