Comments on: RIM Q3 as expected, but confidence is soaring

Customer response to new BlackBerrys such as the Storm and Bold prompted RIM to issue guidance way above previous expectations despite the economy.

Pretty darn respectable numbers!

A friend of mine bought a Curve 8330 awhile back, but ended up switching to a Touch Diamond, then back to the Curve, then on to the HTC Touch Pro and he's back to the Curve. He said he really wanted to like the Touch Diamond and the Touch Pro, but there were little things that just bothered him. He just loves that Blackberry and the only reason he switched was because of some Bluetooth issues with his little Sony umpc. He bought a new BT adapter and he is all smiles with his Curve now.

There's a few other people I work with who definitely fall into the crackberry category. For some reason, people tend to love the hell out of the BB phones.

This is great news as Apple has been taking a beating lately and losing market share.
Yea RIM. Go Canada !

IF the storm has Wi-Fi there sales would be even higher. Stupid verizon.
