[...] Even though the 87- and 8800 series contained more consumer-friendly features, they were still a bit lacking in that department. Specifically, a camera was and had been missing from BlackBerrys from the get-go. It’s been said that RIM opted not to include cameras because a number of professions disallow them (say, in a courtroom), or some bosses don’t want them on their employees’ phones. Of course, these claims have been challenged, with people arguing that this was RIM intentionally holding back features. [...]

I personally work in a secure environment and there’s no option of just turning off a camera feature. It’s either there or it isn’t. I’ve been going crazy trying to find phones with the required feature, yet not having a camera. They’re so cheap to add and so many people go crazy over having a camera built in that’s it’s almost a no-brainer, but you would be cutting out most of the government, defense contractors, and other secure facility workers. Personally, I prefer without. I plan on being a long time BB supporter because of the cameraless option. Now I say option, because I thought I read another phone to be released shortly after with the camera feature available.

[...] We’re easing you into the news really gently today. Neat little tidbit to start-off. Thought has sent us in a link to a site called Size Easy. Size Easy lets you enter dimensions of any product (say, a BlackBerry Pearl?) and compare it to other items (say, like, a 30 GB iPod and a deck of playing cards) – and you can see how your product… sizes up. Pretty interesting tool – maybe this is the wave of the future and will replace those side by side shots that are always floating around. [...]

By: BlackBerry Cool » RIM’s results cleverly called “Su-PEARL-ative”

Fri, 29 Sep 2006 15:48:28 +0000

[...] Thought’s been working overtime and has been kind enough to slide us this article in the Wall Street Journal regarding RIM’s Q2 results. And since that’s all people seem to be talking about today in the BlackBerry world, we’ll fuel the fire with this. RBC Capital’s Mike Abramsky calls the results “Su-PEARL-ative”, and analysts are all-a-chatter with optimism for RIM. UBS Investment’s Rob Dennison is forecasting a 45.9% replacement rate for the BlackBerry device in fiscal 2007 and 37.6% in fiscal 2008. “While the replacement rate now appears more reasonable relative to historical replacement rates, we believe our (fiscal 2008) implied replacement rate could again prove conservative,” he said in a note.

This is just the beginning of RIM’s intention to break the Blackberry in two segments: enterprise and consumers.

They are just trying to figure a way to do it because the Blackberry brand is too popular to completely just drop. That’s why we have the Blackberry Pearl and not the RIM Pearl. I figure that they will keep the model number for the 8800.

[...] Why then, would RIM continue to develop next-generation BlackBerrys that don’t have cameras? Thought, in his column over on BlackBerry Cool, has an interesting take on this and I agree with it completely. Simply put, if RIM sells a next-gen cameraless BlackBerry this year, a lot of people will buy it. If they sell a next-gen CameraBerry next year, a lot of people, including many of the ones who bought the cameraless device, will buy the camera bearing device as well. [...]

Do CameraBerrys make cameraless BlackBerrys seem “Ho Hum”?

Research in Motion released the BlackBerry Pearl a couple of weeks ago and by all accounts it is doing incredibly well. So well, in fact, that a recurring them in several of the BlackBerry message boards is that all new BlackBerrys should come with ca…
