This is absolute crap. AT&T didn't "review" BlackBerry Messenger. It didn't "review" BlackBerry AppWorld. It didn't "review" BlackBerry Traffic. AT&T is scrambling to figure out how to charge for BlackBerry Bridge.
That may well be true, but I think it speaks to RIM's mishandling of this whole release.

I would think they would have gotten with their partners ahead of time to review what was planned and what was being offered to get their buy-in BEFORE unleashing it on the public.

This is really looking like a fail from the start......I wanted it to be a big success and perhaps it will be...in time.

This just doesn't seem to be the way to do it. RIM has always seemed to have a penchant for secrecy and this is what seems like another example.
