RIM Sees Drop In BlackBerry Subscriber Growth For Second Time In Its History

June 19, 2009 by Robb Dunewood 5 Comments

BlackBerry TourResearch in Motion posted first quarter results for fiscal year 2010 yesterday and, for only the second time in its history, the BlackBerry maker saw a decline in subscriber growth dropping to 3.8 million net new subscribers down from 3.9 million the previous quarter.  The rest of RIMs numbers were pretty good and the BlackBerry actually saw on overall increase in its U.S. leading market share.

“We are starting fiscal 2010 with strong financial performance and impressive market share gains, including a 55% share of the U.S. smartphone market according to IDC’s latest estimate,” said Jim Balsillie, Co-CEO at RIM. “The industry leading BlackBerry product portfolio is driving strong customer demand around the world and our penetration of new market segments continues to expand. We are particularly excited about the strength of our product portfolio for fiscal 2010 and we are looking forward to driving continued growth and profitability in our business throughout the remainder of the year.”

June 17, 2009 by Robb Dunewood 10 Comments

Google Mobile AppWe just heard that Google Mobile App for BlackBerry has been updated to version 3.4.8 from version 3.3.38.  It is pretty much standard operation procedure for Google to tell you absolutely nothing about what’s been updated, so, if anyone figures out what the new features are, or, comes accross a change log, be sure to post in the comments.

Google Mobile App is a pretty cool BlackBerry Application, and, better yet, it is a free BlackBerry Application.  You can download by pointing your devices browser to m.google.com or head over to www.google.com/mobile on your desktop browser.

Should Apple Be Concerned About RIM?

June 16, 2009 by Robb Dunewood 10 Comments

Pretty much ever since the day that the first iPhone was announced we’ve seen blog posts, news and magazine articles, and television reports questioning whether the BlackBerry would be able to survive once the Apple machine got wheels rolling.  I think it is safe to say that Research in Motion and the BlackBerry have fared pretty well and have even exceed expectations.

I, however, want to ask a question from the other side of things.  Should Apple be concerned about RIM? With the onslaught of multiple new BlackBerry devices on pretty much every carrier of consequence over a relatively short period of time, I say that Apple should be…

Verizon BlackBerry Tour Officially Announced

June 16, 2009 by Robb Dunewood 13 Comments

Verizon BlackBerry Tour

Truth be told, I am not sure that this qualifies as the “official Verizon BlackBerry Tour announcement”, which, I believe is coming tomorrow.  I guess Verizon figures that we all already know that the announcement is coming so posting a BlackBerry Tour teaser page for all of us blog about until the official announcement comes just adds to the buzz.

Yeah… They got to stay up until almost midnight just to see if they would put something up…

AT&T Forcing iPhone Users Out Of Pre-Paid Plans

June 15, 2009 by Robb Dunewood 1 Comment

no-gophone-for-iphone

Although AT&T hasn’t ever really just flat out offered pre-paid phone plans for the iPhone, there have been back door ways to getting pre-paid plans since day one. ( Purposely failing the credit check was my personal favorite ) All that is about to change, however, as it would appear that AT&T is throwing down the gauntlet when it comes to iPhone toting GoPhone users.

T-Mobile BlackBerry Gemini 8520 Pics

June 15, 2009 by Robb Dunewood 5 Comments

T-Mobile BlackBerry Gemini 8520

According to the forum BlackBerryOS, these could be the first live pictures of the T-Mobile branded BlackBerry Gemini 8520.  According to IntoMobile, the BlackBerry Gemini could a make its debut a lot sooner than previously expected.

The latest rumor floating around has the BlackBerry 8520 hitting  T-Mobile August 2nd.  We hear that the 8520 will be cheap, possibly even completely subsidized after a $100 mail-in rebate.  If the rumors are true this probably isn’t a bad move by T-Mobile and RIM to battle the $100 iPhone 3G.
