Blackberry Finally Gets Sirius 100 comments

Blackberry (RIMM) users and Satellite Radio fans may have reason to rejoice in the coming weeks. Several days ago, a reader forwarded me a press release that indicates that the new flagship Blackberry Bold 9700 will deliver Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI), which until now could only be accessed by using other means.
Operating on Bell Mobility’s state-of-the-art HSPA wireless network, the BlackBerry Bold 9700 smart-phone will also deliver great Bell Mobility mobile data services including GPS location, Live TV, SIRIUS Satellite Radio and Unlimited NHL
This does appear to be a new application that is pending, in that existing Blackberry users have access only to 20 select channels through the XM service, at a cost of 7.99 per month.
It seems as word began spreading through Sirius XM discussion forums, a potential roadblock was met in determining where the 9700 would be sold. After reading the release, I was skeptical in that consideration had to made that this was a “Canada only” offering rather than a phone that would be sold in the United States. Further research reveals that:
The 3G, Wi-FI capable GSM phone will be heading to carriers around the world in the next few weeks, making stops at both AT&T (T) and T-Mobile in the United States.
Other news releases indicate the Blackberry Bold 9700 arrival in the US will occur sometime in November. A search of Blackberry apps reveals no Sirius apps currently available, leading me to believe that a new app for the Blackberry may be announced in the coming month.
It is clear that Sirius XM has begun to make bold moves in the smart-phone arena, with its introductions of both an Apple (AAPL) iPhone app and the the revolutionary new XM SkyDock which enables iPhones and iPod Touch devices to be used as fully functioning Satellite Radios. The next logical steps would be Blackberry and Android applications. I had not expected to see these apps come to fruition this year, but this press release indicating that Sirius is coming to Blackberry, has me second guessing that belief.
Position: Long SIRI

And RAF really! You right so much to say things that make sense. Do you work for Satwaves?
I am a Sirius Longer and understand that although it is positive for access to be out there it is just another accessory competing against other applications offered by IPhone and Blackberry.
SiriusXM is a unique product and yet people like RAF and Brandon continue to build these things up. I'll admit again, good PR but Sirius is truly in a position where they have no competition and continue to become an accessory that has competition.
Sirius needs to create there own product that is mobile, to be on ones person. The problem is lack of R&D capital.
Again the R/S will happen after 3Q results and Sirius will eventually be bought by Liberty Media who has the money for R&D.
THIS IS A GOOD THING FOR ALL US SIRI LONGERS.
Brandon and RAF give it up this event is very minor and will not increase subs that will have a real effect on the bottom line.
Siri Longer and the voice of reason
"Sirius, Chrysler Set Trial Offer On Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles"
NEW YORK, Oct 30, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- SIRIUS XM Radio (SIRI, Trade ) and Chrysler Group LLC today announced that Chrysler Group customers in the United States will receive an introductory three-month trial subscription of the "SIRIUS Everything" package upon the purchase of all SIRIUS-equipped Chrysler Group LLC Certified Pre-owned Vehicles (CPOV).
from Dow Jones Newswire
GO SIRI !!!!
It is absolutely crazy that this company has 3.9 billion shares outstanding. TV Satelite provided Liberty Media (Direct TV) and Dish have approximately 425 million shares outstanding each, and are far more profitable.
I am a SIRI Longer and understand that the R/S will benefit us shareholders.
The reason Mel is saying no to the R/S is because it is traditionally looked upon as a sign of weakness. He is doing the right thing to instill confidence. But the bottom line is the R/S is good for the shareholders and the company if they wish to better there P/S value and EPS. Plus they need to attract serious institutional investors who do not waste valuable man power (And expensive) evaluating penny stocks. A R/S is not always a sign of weakness and in some cases a very strategic plan. This would be a good thing.

... By announcing all this stuff via their own press release- it doesnt cost anything and by golly has allot more credibility
....Then and only then guys like Charles and Spencer and Brandon and RAF.... Write about it and make comment- anybody???????
pissttttt... Don't tell anyone I just got this from a clandestine obscure web site.....
Sirius is traversing this circle counterclockwise. (as looking from the equator) and with a counterproductive effect
Amen
Trading like a penny stock.
I hope it continues to go up as a SIR Longer but read my previous comments.

realize they don't need sat rad anymore and can create their own

programs and sell directly to consumers instead of going thru a middle man like SIRI.
One of the top five reasons people subscribe to Sirius is less commercial interuptions! Its a selling point! I would rather them charge me an additional $2 a month for that. At least it would go directly to the bottom line instead of paying sales force commisions.
Your comment would actually open the door back up for terrestrial radio.
Sorry I don't mean this as an insult. But who the heck gave thumbs up for that comment?

Long SIRI.......Sick of the BS blogs
1)a SIRIUS XM, APPLE partnersip that this author continously refers to..
2) This author has said that the demand for the skydock would be so high, stores wouldnt be able to keep it in stock, he even brought on some clown to say pre-orders were really high before it came out. total lie
3)This bogus article saying there is a Blackberry app other than the current garbage app for $7.99, yet not on their website anywhere!
4) ok...I could go on...Go google some of the ridiculous articles he wrote trying to pump the stock. lol....He said there was a huge demand in China for the SKYDOCK...Chinese wanted dock just to charge their phone and for revolutionary fm modulator ...no satelite signal in china..
I agree about censorship on some of these sites such as satwaves. However, SIRI-DOOM, you tend to post repetitive lies that deserve to be deleted. For example, you posted 100's of D-listing, rev-split lies that never came true...You and RAF, continously try to outpost each other on many sites, with lies from both sides. I wish you both would give it a break ....Also, can people stop taking what this Brandon guy says as Gold. Don't people question his sources? Just because somebody has a website, doenst make hime a source of truth! If there is a blackberry app, Mel K, better announce it this coming Thursday! If there is an apple partnership, let be announced Thursday! If not, this guy is a flat out liar!! Protest satwaves for lies!!boycott....Ok...... a lil overboard...but consequences are needed for lies portrayed as news....

Although you make some valid points in your post, the use of the word "liar" is a bit extreme. There are agreements "partnerships" in place between Sirius and many other companies including Apple. Otherwise there would be no application for the iPhone. It just can not get done without both sides coming to the table and agreeing to go forward. IF there were no partnership, there would be no products with both companies names associated. So, liar is a bit far fetched. Brandon allows both sides of the issue to express their feelings, and in doing so illuminates the various concerns surrounding the company. Brandon does a great service to those investors in SIRI, despite being rather bullish on most articles. His bullishness does attract those like Siri Doom to comment in the opposite direction which allows us all to profit from the information. In my opinion, those that post the same thing over and over "protest too much" as Shakespeare most eloquently stated. Nevertheless, for those that can "read between the lines" it is a wonderful outlet to glean valuable information about the company. Brandon is tireless in keeping us informed, and Siri Doom is tireless in his warnings concerning the stock. Both have value, but only if the information is checked. Hope and fear is Brandon and Siridoom in a nutshell. I generally have found Brandon to be more accurate in his information than SiriDoom as I do the homework necessary to navigate this stock and make money. However, there have been times when Doom has called it correctly on the SP movements. I think the truth is somewhere in the middle which is a positive in my opinion because if even half of what both put out is true it seems to add up to a better future for the company going forward. The days of uncertainty are passing for the company and it will be around in some form or fashion long after you and I are gone. In the meantime, use these boards to create the "pros and cons" list necessary to make an informed decision---nothing more...nothing less. Those that decide to use the word "liar" so blatantly lose credibility the moment the word hits the board. There are other, more civilized ways to question a comment or an article on any issue. Most of the points you make concerning Brandon being a liar are questionable at best, and I am sure Brandon does not intentionally post deceptive articles...just more hopeful ones to compete with the avalanche of negative articles on the other side.
Thanks for the opportunity!
Long SiriusXM
I maintain that saying that there is a partnership betwen apple and SIRIUS XM is a lie. An agreement is not a partnership, to my knowledge. I am not a lawyer. Google makes an iphone app, so are Google and Apple "partners"? Google will help iphone sales, Apple will help Android sales, I think not! These companies have "agreements" to allow an application to be made for the Apple device. Brandon and others know the difference , but use partnership in place of agreement to try to boost the propaganda. Go read his articles, he puts "partnership" in BOLD letters! If I make an iphone app and apple approves it, I am their partner? lol I wish!
Where is the proof of this Blackbery app? Can someone post a link to this press release? I would love to see it. A press release for a Blackberry app to compete with the iphone app would not be a secret! Someone, please find that press release from a reliable source! People on this blog saying how great this news is, when the news is a Lie....unless someone posts this press release, it is a lie.
Readers of all comments above should carefully consider the agenda and biases within, and whether comments are based upon informed opinions and facts or merely repeats of emotional allegations that lack substance.

What do you expect to see? The company has staged a remarkable turnaround and all recently announced developments have been positive: New and innovative products and Apps for the rapidly expanding wireless and internet platforms; increasingly strong relationships with all major automobile manufacturers, including enhanced marketing to the pre-owned market; aggressive re-financing of outstanding debt obligations, extending the maturities of payments coming due; and an expanding marketplace worldwide that is within satellite radio distribution in coming years.
With this background in mind, would you expect comments to be anything other than positive?

These two are cohorts. DAYTRADERS TRYING TO TRICK US LONGERS Snagged!!!!!!
Jerrold great comments and SiriDoom you just go a lil overboard although you sometimes do make a point or two.
The facts are simple r/s after 3Q numbers, daytraders try to deflect that as "wait till 4Q" so they continue to play. Liberty Media eventually buys SiriusXM, Longers get a good conversion price. Then day traders sell making the stock go down short term. Real investors back in stock starts to climb (Liberty Media Stock)
Liberty uses to availability to cash to use as R&D and build Sirius Brand Name.
Siri Longer Voice of Reason
Its so simple its scary.
Daytraders your days are numbered till Nov. 5th.
I will copy and paste one of the 100's of post you made
"NasDaQ Delisting Warning Letter
SIRI has only 5 trading days to make it to 1.00
Bad news press release expected September 15 - 18
It is going to be like a SIRI fire sale.....
How much will Mel pay to supress this bad news? "
You wrote posts like this on every site that spoke about SIRI, you said the stock would go down to $.20 or so, fire sale. You said a rev-split was coming soon, you said SIRI would be d-listed etc....Can you admit at least that you were wrong on that? There was no fire sale, the letter didnt do much harm to the stock price. You went on for weeks about this d-listing warning letter....Be honest at this point. Now, you keep saying this rev-split is coming and will be a disaster. In fact, I think the rev-split will be a good thing. There are too many shares outstanding. also,,,in the past you didnt say d-listing notice...You were saying they would be d-listed, to generate fear....c'mon be honest..Your post are on record..

I am long SIRIUS, I have had XM since 2002 and want the best for the company. However, I do point out when I think "news" is being manipulated positive or negatively. Thursday is when the truth will come out. Well, assuming Mel K is not a crook that will lie to us....I have to trust him.... ..SIRI-DOOM....lol...save your breath/post...I know you thin Mel Karmazin is a crook...Good day all...
Why would they compete with other when nobody else offers Satellite radio?
R&D needs to instill their own brand in the market. Unfortunately capital isn't available for them to accomplish at this time.
Liberty Media can take this company to next level.

People need to start saying, for example "You heard that show on SIRIUS XM last night."....and no one cares what device...it doesnt matter.
One of their highlighted picks is the new SkyDock, and when you click on the photo a complete review of the product and its capabilities is available. Also - note in the questions and answers section the following Best Comment: "You need to have an XM subscription with the Best of Sirius package ... then download the free app on itunes - WELL WORTH IT!! This thing is just a fantastic product."
This will surely be a win - win for both companies.

Listen this company will explode under Liberty Media. Thats my prediction. R/S after 3Q results. Liberty buys Siri by year end and all us longers make out in the near future.
LM will be a power house.
1M shares traded and it all seems to be HIGH SPEED Electronic back and forth volume. Like a seesaw watching bid and ask size bounce back and forth every 17 seconds.
I see NO real trading? Just a volume pump at 58 cents. This is nuts!!!
After 3@ report it will happen and by end of year we will all be hoping for Liberty Media to crush Dish, Steal from Comcast and Verizon Fios and sign exclusive contracts with all 4 major sports.
Those 2 guys are 2gether and playin most longers here for a fool.

The split will be good for SIRI stock and long long term. I just would not want to be holding SIRI for the 3 months befor nd after the split. I see that time as a rocky road.
However, as I was reminded here, the delisting notice did not cause a "Fire Sale". In a normal stock that is not controle by Goldman Sachs, a delisting notice is a disaster. But, not for SIRI. Anything can happen. Wish I had a insider buddy at Goldman Sachs...

SIRI book value
At 4 cents Mel needs to rev-split,,, maybe 35 for 1 share. SIRI would greatly benefit from reducing the saturation. But, with share holder agreement for the spilt they will need to take the price down to 30 cents for a big split. Whatever, I think this is going to happen. We will know after this 3 Q bounce...
6M shares 5801 to 5818 cents... This is manipulated float!!!
Equal number of bid and ask trading back and forth all morning...
Did any of you buy 3 shares?

SIRI has a book value of 4 cents.
From Bank of America Report
This is killing me... Pay over 114.00 to tie up your cell phone. But, you can buy a dedicated SAT radio for 69.00... It only works on XM... What a bad joke!!!
I just received a phone call from SEC investigators (Names can’t be disclosed here). I was asked a few questions.
I was informed as follows:
-The SEC is investigating High Speed Computer Manipulation but they can not give any information.
-They are glad to receive all reports. They like spot traceable reports.
-They will not tell you if your report is being investigated.
I informed them that few people will pay commission to buy or sell 3 shares. Only a brokerage house could buy and sell 3 to 50 shares hundreds of times a day to collect a .001 cent margin. They agreed on the phone that it does look strange. They also agree that 6M share in 2 hours today at .5801 to .0812 was very strange. I informed them of how this has been happening periodically for months.
OTHER SHOULD COMPLAIN - High Speed Computer Trading is a bad thing….

At the World Series Game they gave away XM Radios with free three month sub NOT SKYDOCKS! Get it.
Its a nice accessory that will give Siri some PR but not new subs.
Profits and brand name recognition is what gives a company legs. Another minor attempt at branding was game one of the World Series in NY. There were about 5 people in a row wearing Sirius XM Blue rain ponchos.
Sirius Longer who gets it. Great product no cash for R&D, they need cash or buyout by Liberty Media. It is absolutely hysterical for anyone to believe the ShyDock is news worthy.
Again DayTraders tryin to manipulate non event news as an opportunity to play the day or so.
We know who you are now so just stop.
R/S at 1 to 10 after 3Q bump. Probably gets the to 8.50 to $10.00. Shares outstanding will then be 390 million. If Liberty buyout does not happen by year end the stock will get another bump after 4Q profits (Which will sound better as an EPS number since less shares).
3.9 Billion shares outstanding today is a joke.
But hang in there longers this stock will be worth it. Just need to stop being daytraded. And yes beside the ignorant who could not define correctly or understand that High Speed Trading is a form of daytrading when discussing a penny stock (RAF). Or maybe it was another attempt to fool his cronies into giving him a "thumbs up".

See all my comments on how that is possible when using the correct definition of high speed trading
I don't see how anyone could consider High Speed Trading the same as day trade. It is not fair when a brokerage house can trade with a computer and NOT pay any commission on each trade.
From 9:30 to 11:AM some broker could have (probably did) make $10,000.00 with a computer trading 6M shares for a spread of 0.0012 cents. And they paid NO COMMISSION on hundreds of 3 to 50 share trades...
Activity like that would have cost me over $50,000 in commission for 2 hours of high speed trading. But they do it for free...
COMPLAIN to the SEC...
Isn't it quite amazing how a few of the usual suspects seem to know so much more about the proper way to run Sirius XM than do the entire executive staff of the company!
You shorts and doomsayers are like criminals sitting in separate rooms of the prosecutors office. Instead of thinking who is going to rat who out first, you guys are thinking who is going to cover first and will be nervous to be the last to rat or the last to cover. You better be the first to rat or the first to cover to get the best deal!!! Cover cover cover!!! Cover cover cover!!!
I have no agenda against SIRI or Mel. My opinion is very bearish on SIRI only because of the history and true current condition of the company.
I have an agenda of true reporting, fair representation, and to stop manipulation. But that is it.
As a religion, I do not work Options trades because shorting is not fair under the current US Laws. I do not short and I practice everything I preach...
When (and I hope for when) SIRI becomes investible again, I will be the bull again. Maybe SIRI will look better after the rev-split and the 1Q2010 report.
No more trying to fool us so called longers tryin to play us the fool:
"Day trading refers to the practice of buying and selling financial instruments within the same trading day such that all positions are usually closed before the market close for the trading day. Traders that participate in day trading are called active traders or day traders.
Some of the more commonly day-traded financial instruments are stocks, stock options, currencies, and a host of futures contracts such as equity index futures, interest rate futures, and commodity futures.
Day trading used to be the preserve of financial firms and professional investors and speculators. Many day traders are bank or investment firm employees working as specialists in equity investment and fund management. However, with the advent of electronic trading and margin trading, day trading has become increasingly popular among casual, at home traders."
Get it!

I see your point and definition. High Speed Computer Trading is a very bad form of day trade. When used by brokerage houses who pay no commission it is a very unfair advantage.
But, I am not against normal order placing day trades. Allot can happen in a day. The playground is fair when everyone can do the same...

I believe and am not sure but maybe, who knows could be or might be but could never say for sure, but RAF may be part of those high speed activities (day trading by definition).

Sitting out now only because of the rev-split issue. But, I would be working the spread. Day trading SIRI is why I am still here.
Note: I was holding SIRI day trades for just hours or for up to 8 days. Sometimes it take more than 1 day...
And stop with the products already. Use the word accessories for others.
I am true Siri Long. Don't let these guys fool you.

Market Top! Go Short!
Market commentator Peter Navarro calls a market top based on both technical indicators and macroeconomic fundamentals and offers a variety of short-selling strategies. In an update to an earlier video, he also argues that the time is ripe to short PALM.

And yes I have heard the same market plans for at least a week or so. Almost everyone is in and out (institutional) to make the buck and wait.
I just a longer to a fault, but made money on a few other stocks by going in and out. Especially those under a $1 and up to $2.

Market climbs a wall of worry.
Cramer: You can spot a top when there aren't any bears.

What is the RAF?
Read my definition again RAF "Investment firms"
I am a SIRI believer and know the 3Q resukts wil be good. Then the R/S and this daiky nonsense will stop.

As a frame of reference as to where things actually stood as this merger was being accomplished - please see my comments above (November 2 @ 4:33PM - starting Absolutely right on.)
That's where SIRI was trading at certain significant times along the process - much higher than current levels - and now the current fundamentals for Sirius XM are improving substantially and the merged company is in greatly strengthened condition than the individual components were at those earlier points in time.
This is showing up in the technical strength seen in SIRI's trading - holding firm and resilient on normal pullbacks and persistently recovering to test further upside potential. Look at the behavior over the last few days - when the general market indices - DJIA, Nasdaq, and S&P all turned increasingly defensive, SIRI has held solid and outperformed the market consistently. This type of action projects further upside potential for SIRI over the intermediate to longer term. As a frame of reference regarding potential and timing of the rounded bottom that is underway - review once again my comments of yesterday at 4:33PM.
See what I'm saying
