I know you were referring to that but my point is RIM can make just as much media hype as Apple can. Dont get me wrong, Apple definately has the consumer market definately in mind, and have done extremely well marketing all their products towards it. They are very successful in that. But RIM has done a great deal, and for the first time in its history, consumer devices are sold more than business ones. Nearly 2.2 million customers added last quarter, with much of that being in the consumer marketplace. At this time neither device will "kill" the other. Yes, i have a feeling that the iPhone will be a larger device in the consumer market. I also have a feeling that the 9000 will easily be the larger device in the business market. Overall, I would say RIM still has a clear edge, larger distrubution, more devices to choose from, heck, 5-6 new devices this year (if you include the reiterations of GSM devices with improvements for CDMA).
Will it be a good year for cellular growth: Absolutely
Do i look forward to seeing what comes in the future: You can bet on that
