My Palm 755p is rock steady. I’ve heard the w version(Windows) isn’t. Then again, that’s no real surprise, is it?

[...] With RIM’s repeated service interruptions, we’re coming to expect on average an outage per month. It’s hard to not grow more jaded and complacent. Ideally, consumer expectations should shape the products and services we receive, but it’s largely the other way around. If there are no other options, customers will make do with what they have, and lower the bar in order to make the solution acceptable. In the corporate environment that BlackBerry dominates, alternatives aren’t there, especially when the modus operandi is handed down from on high. That works just fine; the extra accommodations for sub-optimal products can make them viable, but the value certainly lowers. It might be unfair to call something that’s up 99% of the time broken, but if it’s put next to something that’s functioning 100% of the time, the value difference is clear. By offering anything less than 99.999% uptime, you leave a gap open for competition. [...]

My vote is RIM fight back with reduced downtime–this isn’t the first large scale BlackBerry outage. Palm is hardly competition–but Microsoft and others who are ramping up remote administration capabilities similar to BlackBerry.

AS A PALM USER, THEY SHOULD NOT BE MAKING FUN OF RIM. PALM PRODUCTS ARE HORRIBLE. I’M ON TREO #3 AND AS SOON AS THE CURVE COMES OUT FOR VERIZON, I’M DUMPING THE TREO. IT FREEZES SO MUCH I HAD TO DRILL A HOLE IN MY BATTERY COVER SO I COULD EASILY ACCESS THE RESET BUTTON W/O HAVING TO TAKE THE PHONE APART.

RIM could do it with the scathing wit of their improv team.
