RIM’s Q3 results beat expectations

With the Bold, the Storm & new Curve the first quarter of 09 will be record setting for RIM. Three great devices that are all unique and target different users. RIM really stepped it up.

Hey GeeWiz take a sip of some eggnog and relax! your in a blog that is speaking about RIM, not Apple! all you have here is people that really enjoy there Blackberry sticking up for the company (RIM) that puts em out! All this is nonsense ,If RIM did that, if Apple did that, blah, blah, blah! Rim makes the absolute best messaging device on the planet, hands down. The media, music, etc, is all secondary to most of us power users. Maybe music and U-Tube is most important to you. But I like me phone to work and be loud, a-la Blackberry Bold, Curve, Pearl, or 8700, etc! iphone is terrible as a phone, cant hear on that thing in an empty Church. And as far as mms (opps, iphone cant do that) email, texting, goes, lol.. is all I have to say.

Listen, an iphone is a media giant and a revolutionary one that really made alot of device companies step there game up. But all this comparing is nonsense. RIM is the best at what it builds, Apple cant compete with them when it comes to a messaging device. And I don’t hear anyone saying RIM makes better media devices then Apple. At the end of the day there both great at what they do. But I’ll still take my Bold over the iphone any day, as a matter in fact I’ll take it over any device!

Because Apple haters don’t post in EVERY single Apple post accusing any site and or commenters of being Apple fanboys or simply on Apple’s Payroll.

Welcome to the internet.

@duydee:
I get hugged all the time, by your mother! She is good at other things also. Use your imagination. Real MILF with small hooters. She has a big mouth like you.

@Sean76 (is 76 your IQ?)
The BLOG is not all about RIM and BB. Only in your fanboy fantasy, I guess. The POST on the BLOG is about RIM numbers being decent despite getting beat up by APPLE!

IN YOUR low IQ opinion BB is the best. I happen to think that RIMs best days of being a leader are over (so does Wall Street). As they have a decent phone with email along with a terrible browser and almost no apps and little else. Even the mail can not support simple IMAP, so I am not convinced it is the best at email, especially when RIM goes down for an entire day or more which happened twice this year!

The game was changed and they are running around playing catch up. You just have not noticed yet. A phone and email is a bit short to be a decent smartphone these days.

You can tell all the stories you like making up issues of any device that competes with your special plastic toy. BUT actual use is the iPhone is a great phone and allows voice and data use at the same time something your plastic toy can not do. Voice quality and speakerphone quality is quite excellent.

The Acme Buggy Whip company WAS the best at what it built, long ago when people ONLY wanted buggy whips. Guess what happened?

Apple NOT ONLY COMPETED WITH BB IT BEAT ALL OF RIM outselling all BBs in the last quarter after only 16 months with only ONE model phone! That is the fact BB nuts do not like to talk about. If I was buying a BB it would also be the Bold! Because RIM sure has no idea how to make a touch screen device so far. Storm is garbage. Makes a good toy clicker for dog trainers though. The comparing was when RIM turned on the broken copy machine!

Geewiz your taking this I believe to another level, and a person like you would! Hiding, trolling around, talking about people mothers, bringing up IQ’s! Yes, I’m convinced, your a troll! Anyway buddy, I’ve been hittin this sight for a while now, and have to say your remarks are pretty ridiculous, out of line, and a lil false. If your IQ was so high, you’d see that I really never bashed apple or any thing like that. What I did say was that Blackberry makes the best messaging device around, and they do Mr. Troll! It’s the reason why most of the secret service use them, and almost the rest of the US government. Jesus, are next President is even trying to keep his. You see any of them runnin around with iphones? Hmm, no I don’t think so. Maybe you got beat up as a kid, maybe you still get beat up every now and then who knows! But it’s the holiday season, so I’ll be nice in closing! Now go home and get your Shine Box, and be happy were having this conversation over the Internet. Happy Holidays to all my fellow Blackberry users. and to all a good nite!

Sorry for being a lil rude on your site BG, but that lil Troll GeeWiz had it comin.

Go home and get your shine box!!!! hahahahahaha

Its ok geewiz is a tool along with being a troll. Sorry that your ipod touch with
A phone app happens to be one of the hottest phones on the market, but its not the best by a longshot
Your E-thuggery is about as cool as a kid who plays WoW

Remember the Razr? Wasn’t that the hottest on the market yet they aren’t even brought up anymore for having nice phones
If apple can’t keep the success of the iphone then its nothing but a one trick pony, but those BB will keep selling.

Please take your failboat back to steve jobs island and proceed to blow his dick

Sorry I didn’t know I was dealing with the Secret Service! That makes a difference! LOL!

I’m glad RIM beat analyst expectations, even in such a rough economy. The point people seem to miss is that this blog post is about RIM’s quarterly earnings…there is no where in here where Apple or the iPhone was mentioned so…unless you can’t read you have no business mentioning things that have nothing to do with this post. Apple has released two phones, not one so stop the foolishness. They just happen to look exactly the same, with the inclusion of 3G in one, because Apple hasn’t figured out how to do anything else yet with that MP3 player with a phone app. They’re most like going to release an iphone nano with the same form factor and a smaller screen, just as they have with all their other products in an effort to milk it for all its worth. RIM was late to the game this year and thus the iPhone had its shine. Now that they’re back and doing well everyone wants to hate…just be happy with what you have and move on. Don’t come into a post that has nothing to do with you just to talk nonsense…it’s plain stupid.

Apple only offers ONE iPhone model in 8GB or 16GB! They have an iPod touch that is an iPod, NOT a phone! They also have 13,215 iPhone apps. They also beat all of RIM with all their models of BB on ALL carriers with just on iPhone! I doubt their will be an iPhone nano, that is fanboy nonsense as Apple already said there would be none.

Don’t you love when a foolish fanboy goes after someone claiming a post is not about a subject (when it is related) and spends his time telling you all about what he said the post wasn’t about decorated with all is biased opinion? I do. It makes great reading for all the normal people.

Didn’t Napoleon’s forces fall in Waterloo?

I wonder how many BB fanboys will be happy if Apple beats expectations?

While a beat will be nice, only Rimm beat lowered guidance. Big deal. Apple guided low by stating $1.30 which is 1.17 billion in earnings. If they sell 5 million iphones then about another billion in earnings will be deferred or the earnings will be about $2.30 non gaap in a recession. This will only snowball as more money is made and Apple needs to spend it. Want to guess that Apple bids for that encryption company that Rimm is trying to buy and then charges Rimm fees or do they just bluff to force Rimm to pay extra. MSFT or IBM may also bid and Rimm has limited money compared to the big boys.

simple facts:
‘berries are communication devices
iphones are media devices

the 2 can’t be fairly compared simply because of a touchscreen and the ability to make a phone call.

@ Kuro couldn’t have said it better myself
