I think they have the infrastructure in place to sell 20 M in the next quarter and they haven’t even released their curve and curve touch yet!

Kyle — Could you test this: AutoText entries being pulled into BB7 from a Backup file (ipd) created in Destktop Manager, from a BB5.X version. Have a 9700 BlackBerry with many AutoText (Word Substitution entries) Would probably go for another 9700, if the 9900 BB 7 does not “restore” the AutoText entries from a bb5 backup file. Thanks,

They have already lost market share by not releasing any new phones this year. We are in month 8. People’s contracts are up and they are going DROID or IOS in droves. Hopefully this will stop them from losing more and allow them to stabilize before QNX hits which hopefully is a game changer.

Why would anyone buy this if QNX is even half of its hype?

Our guest seems to have it right. To be honest I think the Bold 9900+Torch 9810+9850 along with Rogers Wireless, AT&T Wireless, Vodafone and MoviStar’s advertising push … these will come close to 21 million units in the next 2 Quarters. This can be easily achievable with much more powerful, interactive, and intuitively fast navigable and efficient applications; along with NFC apps.

NFC – I’d LOVE to have a security profile ring that will unlock the unit (with ability to security lock via manual manipulation). The ability to use NFC for a purchase, payment and a bank transaction to deposit a business cheque into my accounts and immediately confirmed via NFC on the 9900 and in my account and an application to quickly tally the transaction to a log & a cloud based service – taxes isolated for reporting to the gov at the end of the term.

RIM has already said that NO existing devices will be upgradeable to OS7. There are lots of references to this on the Web.

I agree with you. I think these device though will sell well until RIM moves over to QNX. It’s important to note that well we all know there is no major changes the average consumer will love the upgrade and will keep them locked in until the QNX platform grows. Business wise they just could not afford to not release any new product. I would expect these device to ship around a low of 15million units and high of 18million units. They are moving in the right direction but it just takes time.
