So in that respect, I think they have made inroads to expanding the pie, rather than cannibalizing from others.

Palm says that their spike in revenue is “a result of solid execution against company objectives”

Obviously, they received a temporary boost because the whole Blackberry existence was threatened by the courts system and a money-hungry patent troll.

It’s just that simple.

For BB to be competitive against Palm or WM among consumers and small businesses, they need a solution that brings the capabilities of BES is BIS. I just bought a 7130e from VZW and I’m paying 120/mo for unlimited Internet plus tethering plus a call plan. As a small
business owner, I can’t justify another 10-20/month for hosted BES. I’ll make do with BIS and the poor synchronization, but I can’t see where I’d be much worse off with a Palm or Windows Mobile device. Everyone talks about cameras, mp3s, whatever, but for the little guy who isn’t running Exchange or Notes and wants to use the BB for business, BIS is a bigger deal.

A lot of people are moving towards smartphones. TREO’s numbers are probably a reflection of that. It’s probable that a lot of people looked at the problems with BB and NTP and that caused them to go in Treo’s direction, however based on my experience that will probably be a decision they will regret. As well, now that the NTP issue has been dealt with TREO’s numbers won’t hold, because BB as a business solution just works better

I have owned 4 TREO’s over the last 3 – 4 years mostly because I am a mac guy and TREO was the only smartphone solution that allowed syncing with my contacts and calendars on a Mac due to the PALM platform. I was never completely happy with the Treo’s. They are buggy as hell. For months I couldnt cc an email to anyone because the software on the phone would crash everytime I tried. Eventually I had to find a third party solution. The phone was also constantly crashing for no reason. I was also never happy with the way the phone worked for email. The interface was clunky when it came to looking up email addresses and phone numbers. The long and the short of it was I paying top buck for a data plan with my carrier and quite frankly not using it because it was too much of a pain. Furthermore when I did use it I didn’t trust it.

I moved to the BB 8700 on February 22nd, 2006, which was right at the height of RIM vs NTP. I did so because I was assured that the Pocket Mac Blackberry actually worked. I wasn’t worried about the thing with NTP, I was pretty confident they would eventually work it out.

Anyway for the last month I finally have a solution (BB 8700) that really works for me. I send and receive email with ease, I am constantly available to my customers, I have all my contacts and all my appointments with me, the device hasn’t crashed once since I bought it and best of all I totally trust it as a solution to help me get business done.

No I can’t download video to my phone or take a picture or video but those are just doo-dads, they don’t help me service my customers.
