I have another question I wanted to ask - what do you think of the pricing - we're considering $14.95 and $19.95. Is there a difference for somebody who thinks about buying? Any thoughts?

Well, if I were shopping at Mobihand and saw "Save e-mail attachments", it would certainly catch my eye. I'd probably think "Hmmm... let's check it out,
maybe it's what I want." But if I saw "Save e-mail attachments to media card or online storage" or "Save any e-mail attachment to your media card", you bet I'd immediately say THAT'S IT!
I think "media card" really has to be there somewhere because Blackberry owners know that they don't have it. And they want it. The online storage doesn't have to be in the catch-up line, it can be offered in the full product description.
About price: $15 is a no-brainer, anyone would pay that. I mean, come on. $20 may discourage the thriftiest, but the online storage is an interesting extra that could justify the price. For example, I've been having e-mail glitches with a certain client. Sometimes she won't get my messages - with attachments. Deadlines are involved, so she tugs on my sleeve and I have to send the files again. So whenever I have to go out (and drag my faithful and trustworthy BB along, of course), I don't leave home until I have sent the files to myself and uploaded them to BeamBerry. If she complains that she needs the files again, I can send them from wherever I am. I probably won't need online storage at all once I have media card storage (and once that client sorts her e-mail out
), but I like the idea of having a copy in the clouds.
Another thing you should take into consideration is the rumors that RIM is going to give away a 4.3 OS to all existing Curve users (which I still doubt), and that media card storage is included. That should be enough to prevent a lot of people from buying anything. That could completely kill your product, or maybe the added benefit of online storage could save it. I really don't know which way most users are likely to go.
Thanks for listening again.
