Research in Motion Negativity Looks Overdone

James, your analysis is nothing short of asinine. You do realize that RIMM unit sales were up over 30% year over year while iPhones were only up 7%? 4 of the top 6 selling smart phones in America are BlackBerry's with RIMM at the 1,3,5 and 6 spots.

Seems to me this is a shinning example of mutual funds beating down a stock so they can pick it up on the cheap. 6 months tops and, after the funds have loaded up on shares, the press will be singing the praises of a bankrupt company call Research In Motion.
