Research In Motion: Still the Best Positioned Smartphones Play

Sorry for posting an older comparison - my bad - there were quite a few hits. I was actually looking for whole companies making the switch & didn't find any. If that happens, then I think BB's demise may happen. However, between the $1.2 bill stock buyback; positive sales projections on last earnings call; huge installed customer base; Storm 2; and superior security features, I think the more probable scenario is that RIMM grows; just at a much slower pace than the Iphone.

Research In Motion: Still the Best Positioned Smartphones Play

Here's a review from a BB user who tried going w/ the iphone. I think this shows why BB's extensive user base is not going anywhere anytime soon:

Research In Motion: Still the Best Positioned Smartphones Play

Andrew, I agree. From a personal level, I don’t know of too many people whose companies have switched from Blackberry to the iphone, android, or any thing else.

I know in my company, security is #1 priority. BB does it all & is the most secure; so we're not switching. However, if anyone knows of a company that is switching off the Blackberry, please indicate how many users & the reason why. Thanks.

Why Android Is Gaining Ground on Apple

My understanding is that Research in Motion’s Blackberry is the still best choice for business. With the BB, companies can manage the device, e.g., wipe the data clean if the smartphone is lost. RIMM’s Blackberry Enterprise Server, which syncs up with theMSFT Outlook server, just can’t be matched by ipod, android or any of the other platforms. Given that security and privacy issues are the top concerns for business, am I correct that companies won’t start replacing Blackberrys with Androids anytime soon?

RIM Faces Growing Competition from Apple and Palm

Tech, where I work, over 100 of us have Blackberrys. There's absolutely no way we're going iphone or palmpre. So unless u can point to Fortune 500 companies making the switch, i'm not sure your points hold up.

Has Stagnating Innovation Led to This Economic Crisis?

Mr. Maher, are u for real? You say "our internet age owes its existence to US government research investment" - c'mon - if u said Bill Gates, Intel, etc... you'd be close, but the US Gov't? u can't be serious. Otherwise, a good article.
