The only thing that RIM has going for it with its blackberry range is the fact that the Q is not a way of life. Certainly around here (Australia) if you have a blackberry it’s almost like “Oh, you’re one of them” it’s somewhat of a community. Blackberry is unique in every sense, everything from the devices to the software is “in-house” for RIM..

Don’t underestimate the OC/Entourage crowd, I think they still feel Blackberry is way cooler than another moto that will probably be replaced in four months with something slimmer and with better specs… and don’t even get me started on the problems people are going to have with devices..

One thing I’ve noticed is that RIM doesn’t bring out a device until they know it’ll work – they have too many “West Wing” users who will not even THINK about using a device if it shows any sign of not working.

Blackberry isn’t just a device choice, it’s a brand choice and once you go black, you never go back.
