BlackBerry: Looks like 'game over' for RIM - The Buzz - Dec. 16, 2011

Re: Looks like 'game over' for BlackBerry
 

Oh no.
Again.

Re: Looks like 'game over' for BlackBerry
 

Almost time to by RIM stock.

Re: Looks like 'game over' for BlackBerry
 

I know! This story seems to re-run daily. Hope they can turn it around. Time will tell.

Why bother posting it?

Re: Looks like 'game over' for BlackBerry
 

It seemed like the most drastic (and current) report of all. Let's hope it turns around. Not a big fan of the Droid / iOS products personally.

I think it can turn around. RIM may never again be the major player they once were.

But I'm afraid none of it will happen with the leadership currently in place... there's no faith in the two.

Re: Looks like 'game over' for BlackBerry
 

The most drastic story again.

Re: Looks like 'game over' for BlackBerry
 

If it's true Amazon's working on a phone, would it make sense for them to buy RIM?

Re: Looks like 'game over' for BlackBerry
 

And call the new phone a berryblack

Re: Looks like 'game over' for BlackBerry
 

Carrier IQ should buy RIM, and we watch some people's heads explode :O

Re: Looks like 'game over' for BlackBerry
 

That would be interesting.

Re: Looks like 'game over' for BlackBerry
 

These articles remind me of all of the "The Euro is Doomed" articles that CNN keeps posting.

Slow news day

Re: Looks like 'game over' for BlackBerry
 

GAME OVER, MAN! GAME OVER!

I'll believe it when I see it.

Re: Looks like 'game over' for BlackBerry
 

You are seeing it

Re: Looks like 'game over' for BlackBerry
 

What are we seeing? did I miss the game?

Re: Looks like 'game over' for BlackBerry
 

This just in, since Google could not buy Motorola(i think), they will buy RIM.

I lost the source thou :p

You'd have to be a blind man not to, but denial is one of the most powerful forces in the universe. I suspect it's mainly denial that got Rim where they are right now. Denial as in "we don't need to compete against the iPhone or Android". I read the denial here for a couple of years - "the BB is for "serious" users, the iPhone is a toy" and "enterprises won't switch to the iPhone or Android".

This article talks about the sales numbers and they are brutal.

This is an astounding statistic, a company almost has to try to be bad to achieve this:
"The BlackBerrys share of the smartphone market in the US dropped to 10 percent in 2011 from 49 percent in 2009, according to Canalys, a research firm."

When are you switching to a new phone and throwing away your BlackBerry?
