Re: 9900 Delayed.... again
Moved to the Rumor Mill. Been talked about before I think.

Re: 9900 Delayed.... again
The tech blogs are carrying this story this morning. While delays are disappointing, I'd rather both RIM and the carriers get it right rather than release some half-baked model with major flaws.

I wonder why RIM take so long to release its products. Every company who develops a product is already thinking about a replacement for it when it first get to the market. For them its sort of taking a bit longer... My previous rant wasnt really about the flaws but for the amount of extra time we wait for its products. Im a happy BB user but a bit impatient sometimes! |
Re: 9900 Delayed.... again
By the time this device launches RIM shares will be trading at $9.99!
I believe the delay has to do with the massive Playbook boondoggle. Has to go down in history as one of the biggest corporate flops since New Coke. |

I have had my bold 9000 since late 2008 when they came out and it still has major flaws in the software. If I remember right, the 9000 was delayed for quite a long while back in 2008. When they finally released it, the software was beta quality at best. They need to release this sooner rather than later and invest in a better quality development team so they can have any chance of catching up. |
Re: 9900 Delayed.... again
They should take a page from Apple and institute a beta tester's program. I've been using Mac OSX Lion 10.7 for two months now. The latest Developer's Preview is as stable as Snow Leopard (10.6) and ready for going gold master. The developer community provides invaluable information on issues that come up in real-world use. Corporate quality control always seems to miss a couple major issues. Apple also used the beta testers program to iron out some kinks with the App Store for distributing updates. All in all, a very successful program. And frankly, I think Apple must be doing something right.

Edit: I would say, if they dont start the catching up quick, in 2 years time they probably will be out of the smartphone market, thats for sure. |
Re: 9900 Delayed.... again
I was out last night and got my hands on the 9900. OH MAN this is going to be a slick device.
A little skinnier (width) than the Bold, WAY thinner (it seemed thinner than an iPhone) Great touch screen, great keyboard and it seemed the trackpad may be a little newer. I had about 5 minutes with it and yeah, it's ready to go. The only thing that could be holding it back is the software, I'd bet they're in production right now. |
Re: 9900 Delayed.... again
After today's earnings report and reading the blogs for the last few months, the signs were out there that RIM was lagging behind the rest and now it has caught up with RIM. RIM has been releasing hardware and software without real testing and just throwing a product out there to make there numbers look good. I agree with rambo47 things need to change and change quickly or Rim is going to be a dinosaur.

I assume you like 10.7? I am not going to upgrade yet. was in a seminar with an Apple consultant who said ride it out for a few months first. Then think about it. |

Also LOL at your statement about delays as it is total opposite of what the tech blog is saying. However not the first time I have read your comments to be totally wrong. |
Re: 9900 Delayed.... again
I will probably wait for the 9900 and get one, but it may be my last BB. I'm not sure RIM will be selling phones when my next contract expires in 2013.

Re: 9900 Delayed.... again
Ummmm -ya sure. RIM will go the route of Palm shortly...
Get a grip. RIM is here for a very long time to come. They are cash rich and have an excellent product/platform. They will eventually get more in touch with their audience and become the top dog once again. Have you forgotten what happened to Apple in the late 90's and how they were bailed out by Microsoft? They almost died...and now today...look where they are, or were you not not paying attention back then? |

I agree with you, RIM will probably hit high when QNX plataform get introduced to their smartphones. The only problem is how long it will take.... |
