Mon, 04 Jun 2007 13:05:15 +0000 http://www.blackberrycool.com/2007/03/28/003989/#comment-138138 [...] For those of you with excessively deep pockets and not getting a BlackBerry 8300, the iPhone’s set to land on June 29th. While the argument’s been made that the two products are targeting different markets, I can’t help but wonder how much the Curve’s earlier release will bite into iPhone sales. Sure, the diehard fans will hold out for the iPhone, but any casual consumer in the market for a next generation smartphone could easily see the 8300 and think “Hmm, it’s out now and it’s a few hundred bucks cheaper. Sold.” Of course, AT&T is getting your money one way or another. [...] [...] For those of you with excessively deep pockets and not getting a BlackBerry 8300, the iPhone’s set to land on June 29th.

Investors seem to be buying into RIM’s notion that the iPhone will actually improve sales rather than act as direct competition. Ongoing talk about Wi-Fi, the Curve and a new Pearl surely provide plenty of bait for anyone looking to invest.
