Also, this is totally BS =]]]>Aug 30th 2007 4:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/a-match-made-in-hell-microsoft-eying-rim/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/a-match-made-in-hell-microsoft-eying-rim/!B of revenue last quarter, and added 1.2M subscribers? RIM is nowhere near "in some sort of trouble" - the most upsetting thing about them currently is that they are providing too many variants of devices into the consumer market without any single "all-singing-all-dancing" device. I guess that means the die-hard will just have to buy two different devices :(
Seriously though, someone somewhere is pumping up their shares - I might consider liquidating a portion of my holdings and then buy them back at a cheaper price once this is shown to be total BS... Wasn't there a rumor that Palm was looking to acquire RIM like a year ago? I'm sure this is actually some total misinterpretation of RIM's virtualized BB-on-WM software that's supposed to be released soon.]]>Aug 31st 2007 8:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/a-match-made-in-hell-microsoft-eying-rim/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/a-match-made-in-hell-microsoft-eying-rim/I'm not too sure if you were commenting at me?

However what I wrote was sarcasm. reread the uppercase which is NOW pointed out as sarcasm!

"or simply just wanting to get out of the business which they are the DOMINATE HANDNELD LEADERS IN CORPORATE AMERICA."

I dont mind not getting rank, however getting commenting on for misinterpretation of a comment is another thing. I will work on my lame sarcasm. ok!]]>Aug 30th 2007 10:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/a-match-made-in-hell-microsoft-eying-rim/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/a-match-made-in-hell-microsoft-eying-rim/Aug 30th 2007 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/a-match-made-in-hell-microsoft-eying-rim/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/a-match-made-in-hell-microsoft-eying-rim/
Don't worry, Microsoft has no intentions on changing the BB device.

1) Palm
2) Windows smart phone
3) Windows Blackberry
4) iPhone
5) Other unnamed smart phone.

The unnamed ones won't get the business and you see, there are ALOT of Windows based smart phones and taking another competitor out, is monopolistic. Palm is going bye bye it seems, Engadget even notices this, SO you will have Microsoft or Apple. I DON'T like that, do you? I am not saying it will happen, but somebody needs to stop Microsoft and then buying every damn company on the planet.]]>Aug 30th 2007 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/a-match-made-in-hell-microsoft-eying-rim/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/a-match-made-in-hell-microsoft-eying-rim/Aug 30th 2007 3:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/a-match-made-in-hell-microsoft-eying-rim/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/a-match-made-in-hell-microsoft-eying-rim/you did fail to mention symbian which is most likely still the biggest smartphone OS out there, and I would go back to symbian if (when) they create a full touch screen device... (nokia iPhone looking good)
actually I don't believe they (MS) can buy the market up and remember this is a rumor... probably the 10th time in the last couple of years this rumor has hit the markets.
I don't personally have favorites and could be an iPhone convert if they fix the battery (needs to be removeable) and a proper sdk for developers. Damn the safari crap.]]>Aug 30th 2007 3:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/a-match-made-in-hell-microsoft-eying-rim/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/a-match-made-in-hell-microsoft-eying-rim/Aug 30th 2007 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/a-match-made-in-hell-microsoft-eying-rim/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/a-match-made-in-hell-microsoft-eying-rim/
I guess you're referring to
HTC Hermes (ATT 8525)
HTC Touch
HTC Kaiser/p4550/ATT Tilt

You're right, there just aren't any phone options out there.

Except Nokia's symbians, Garnet OS on Palm, WIN MO on HTC/Palm/Samsung/Motorolla, and Apple's iPhone.]]>Aug 30th 2007 4:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/a-match-made-in-hell-microsoft-eying-rim/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/a-match-made-in-hell-microsoft-eying-rim/Aug 30th 2007 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/a-match-made-in-hell-microsoft-eying-rim/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/a-match-made-in-hell-microsoft-eying-rim/http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2007/08/30/tech-rim.html

Most PC users have never used anything else, so when first confronted with Windows, they don't have any basis for comparison.

On the other hand, Blackberry users/addicts already have expectations of their handheld devices.

IF Microsoft then comes in and ruins the Blackberry, folks WILL notice, and maybe their reputation for "innovation" will finally take a huge hit.

Oh yeah, you guessed it - I use a Mac.]]>Aug 30th 2007 4:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/a-match-made-in-hell-microsoft-eying-rim/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/a-match-made-in-hell-microsoft-eying-rim/Aug 30th 2007 4:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/a-match-made-in-hell-microsoft-eying-rim/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/a-match-made-in-hell-microsoft-eying-rim/2.

WinMO is great. BB is Great.

i think they would follow separated ways for a couple of years,and WinMO 7, with new exchance server would make it a true corporate winner, after all, you all use word, excel, outlook right?

but talking about monopoly is lame. of course it can be done and sec can`t do nothing about it.
I guess it would be evolutionary for both companies.
