That's mostly true.

There are at least two people in my department who have REFUSED blackberrys from work.

 

 




 I returned my phone to the company I have zero interest to be available 24/7.

I do not need any extra sources of stress :D

I understand this little addiciton for those with super demanding jobs that require you to answer things around the clock. 

I don't really get it for people who just use it socially.  i think it's rather silly.

It depends on everyone's need. Personally, I like a phone that will let me text , make and receive phone calls. No need for blackberries or iphone or any "smartphone".

Cellphones are a consumer electronic therefore they loose their retail value very easy and they become "obsolete" whitin 6 months...when they release a phone they have 3 more to be released with better capabilities and cheaper .....I'm not crazy about cellphones as far they let me call people and txt Im happy with it

Storms delay part of RIMs warning

Torstar News Service
04 December 2008 05:29

Bell and Telus are preparing for a pre-holiday launch of the BlackBerry Storm touchscreen smartphone, but observers say the launch of the so-called IPhone-killer may be too late to help Research In Motion Ltd. salvage an increasingly bleak year.

The Storm was rolled out on Verizon Wireless in late November but there are still no official launch dates from Bell Canada or Telus Corp., although Telus has revealed it will sell the device for $249.99 with a three-year contract.

Something must have happened in development, a supplier didnt perform or a component went bad, said Ken Dulaney, an analyst at Gartner Research.

The Storms delayed launch helped contribute to a less-than-stellar third quarter for Waterloo-based RIM, which warned investors that earnings during the period would come in lower than previously forecast at 81 cents to 83 cents US per share.

 




 RIM is a great company. The economy is affecting them, but smartphone growth in the next 3 years is going to be crazy (within three years most of everyone will have some kind of a smartphone). RIM is poised to sell a lot of units.

I only update when, either, my phone dies, or I lose it (which is quite often hmm.gif). Otherwise I don't bother. No matter how hard you try, you can't keep up with cell technology.... unless you update every six months or so hmm.gif

i'm a bigtime typer so touch screens are not for me... which is why i got the bold instead of the storm or the iPhone.. demo'ed the storm at the verizon store and was just like... blah... can't type fast enough. also the full qwerty keyboard only appears in landscape mode. no good!!
