BlackBerry Joe

A while back we ran an article that asked “Do you need help with your Blackberry?” We had a good response to that question and so now we’re going to give you the opportunity to “ask away”!

To get your BlackBerry question answered, just leave it in the comments.

Weekly I will be picking some questions and we’ll address them every Friday. There is no question too big or small. So what are you waiting for? Ask away!

    Research in Motion is selling copious smartphones despite economy

    Comments

    A lot of the information I am about to post has already been described in previous stock market and share analysis reports. I am reposting this because the numbers are presented in various ways and it’s nice to get a reminder that the economy isn’t in total shambles.

    That being said, RIM has sold its 50 millionth BlackBerry! While everyone is talking about these TETs (tough economic times), RIM isn’t blinking and continuing to sell smartphones and saturate the market with hands-down the best device.

    RIM reported record high revenue of US$3.46 billion in their most recent quarter, up 84 percent compared to the same time last year, as it shipped 7.8 million devices, also a new high for the company. Net profit for the quarter rose to $518.3 million, up from $412.5 million last year. RIM has also added 3.9 million new BlackBerry subscribers!

    Smartphone sales are a sure bet these days. Surveys of family expenditures during the holidays report that half of respondents say they would buy electronic devices before the end of the year. Expect many of these electronic devices to be smartphones.
