Comments on: Research In Motion Is Doing Well For Itself http://www.rimarkable.com/research-in-motion-is-doing-well-for-itself The Unofficial BlackBerry Weblog Fri, 10 Feb 2012 09:11:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: JB http://www.rimarkable.com/research-in-motion-is-doing-well-for-itself/comment-page-1#comment-53899 JB Thu, 05 Apr 2007 17:16:13 +0000 http://www.rimarkable.com/archives/1308#comment-53899 I think Blackberry remembers how to get the "it just works" factor right, particularly for the enterprise level. With too many of these devices, the companies put in a bunch of bells and whistles (cameras, wifi, GPS, video, subscriber-only features) and then forget that the phone itself has to be comfortably held and used. Yeah great, you can take full motion video but you can't talk for 5 minutes without the sound cutting out. We may gripe about the lack of all these features with Blackberry but they seem to wait until it all works correctly before putting it out there. As an enterprise platform, Blackberry knows companies will pay for performance on the key features, on demand email and a solid voice line.
