Canaccord sees strong global BlackBerry 7 sales in September

That means absolutely nothing when stores in the US carry 1 or 2 units because nobody buys them here. They aren’t hurting in the market because everyone is buying them. They are hurting in the market because people aren’t. people saying blackberry is selling like hotcakes is heresay. Stock price at an all time low and not really picking up shows people are full of crap. RIM is hurting …. you can pad reality with a “selling like hotcakes” pillow, but real numbers tell the true story. RIM is not doing well.

It isn’t hearsay when O2 is out of stock until October 30th and Vodafone has been intermittently out of stock.  And I agree, real numbers will tell the story…. the next quarterly earnings will be a full quarter of most BB7 devices…   I’m curious to see how the Bold 9900 will sell once AT&T gets off of their arse and releases it….

Yes they are sold out here in the US too. My point is, it means absolutely nothing. Our stores only carry 1 or 2 units because they don’t sell. So if they sell out of 1 or 2 units it tells a completely different story than iPhone or an Android phone selling out where they carry 50 or as much as 100 in store.

People have been saying Blackberry devices are selling out for a while, but it doesn’t help their standing because “selling out” of 2 devices ultimately means they sold 2 devices … nothing more.

Now, I don’t claim to know how many they have in stock there. I just know that here …. nobody buys Blackberry devices.

@numetheus:disqus  – so since you don’t have any quantitative data showing “how poor BlackBerrys are selling”, everyone reading your comment should dismiss your ASSUMPTIONS.  The actual truth will come at the next earnings call….

On a side note.. I know RIM has some issues with product release timeliness, being more innovative, etc.. but comments like yours don’t help the PERCEPTION of RIM.  You don’t KNOW how good or not good they are selling, you are only SPECULATING based on your opinion of BB7 and your knowledge of the industry.

Really? Some of you are naive. Based on the LAST earning call we see that RIM was doing poorly. Same with the one prior to that. Based on common knowledge of ANY industry, if there was significant change for THIS earning call, we would have seen their stock rise. These things NEVER change drastically with the next earning call without a major change and everyone knowing about it. So, based on what we see now (RIMM is at 23.8), they have fallen since last call. Does this REALLY give you hope that it will be a better one? These things are ALWAYS assumptions. BUT they are assumptions backed by trending facts.

Tell me Applesucksfatties … what has happened since last earnings call that would make us believe there would be a drastic improvement? Because I will tell you this … your belief that things will be a lot better is far more of an OFF assumption than speculation that the next earning call will be terrible. I guess people like yourself have your head too far in the sand to realize that your darling company is falling. In your mind, they are probably top, or even doing well in the industry. Pathetic.

Disqus generic email templateWhen your always using a blackberry, your used to using those little buttons!!! It takes time to get used to the texting on the screen. The problem with the whole battery thing, and this is experience using my HP iPaq with Windows Mobile 5, is that first you have to make sure that spare battery is charged up, right! So you have to do a full shutdown on your device, then Pop the second battery in, and then Wait while it boots back up so that you can Log in and make sure your battery is full. You also have to carry that battery around with you everywhere you go so IF you need it you have it! Then there’s the issue of wear and tear on the battery cover to opening and closing it all the time. At some point it could just start popping off on you. Besides I really don’t have a issue with my battery going dead! Between my iHome Alarm clock that I Dock my iphone up to each night when I go to bed, to my power Cable in my truck to keep it fully charged while going to work as I’m streaming Music and using Trapster, to my Cable at work that I can plug my iphone in for a little booster charge if need be which isn’t much. I have in the past like left Trapster running, and since it uses the GPS, the GPS is a big battery drain, I’d grab my phone a few hours later and see a huge drain on my battery and so I would then plug it in at work. Trapster is now smarter. When it see’s that your not moving at so long, it stops using the GPS and so saves the battery. By the time the battery goes dead in my iphone, I’d have gotten a new one 2 years later anyway, long before it would ever fail. If I was a really heavy iPhone user, maybe not charge quite every day, there are extended Battery Cases to put your iphone in that can more then double battery life. No swapping required at all. That would be the way I go. It just works. Simple, and phone is protected.
Some people really like a real keyboard though. Really nothing wrong with that other then maybe limiting your choices some. Your used to your Bold. It feels right in your hand after all this time!

I’m a “geek” and have mostly linux throughout my household.  I think android is a disorganized and confusing os to use.  Not impressed at all with Google’s implementation.  Say what you will about blackberries, windows phone or ios, they are all easier to use than anything the android community has available.

Speaking of retarded people… did you take the short bus to the library to post this riveting comment?

is that where you’ve been going for the last four days?

@368bfb71a4c5e1db086d279f101ca5ef:disqus  – sure.. SMOKE N MIRRORS… aka multiple personality disorder.   

IMO people shouldn’t offend others just for your electronics preference.
If you drive a Mercedes or Hyundai you’re still a human being.
What you said is phucked up.

Dont worry, many people have called out the tech junkie (aka Apple troll) SBMobile….but he still continues to grace us with his usual smattering of RIM rants laced with inaccurate information and 3rd grade logic.

Wow! All the time it took you to write about how you don’t “feel” & “think”!?! Dude, because you don’t feel or think something doesn’t automatically make you right or in anyway accurate about your “feelings”! Like I said before, go to any retail or carrier store & ASK them how many phones they get on deliveries. Simple. You can go to a few stores to make-up a reasonable stat, just like they taught in the 9th-grade. SMH! By the way, any numbers I use to qualify or quantify RIM are usually from RIM! That’s the only real way to determine what’s going on with this company. Analysts can say what they want, but usually cold, hard facts come from the “horses mouth”. Analysts only regurgitate what companies want them to tell the press, but realistically the numbers make everything real. If RIM is such a good company, then they’ll have NO problems when they report their earnings at the end of the month. I’m sure all of your feelings & thoughts will do them a lot of good! BB’s aren’t selling. (e.g. RIM sold 1,000 phones last quarter & have sold 1,500 this quarter; Apple sold 20M phones last quarter & 29.75M this quarter. That what I mean buy they aren’t selling any phones. The number of phones RIM sells is irrelevant in comparison to their top competitor. That’s the only metric that counts. It’s funny, because what you concluded to basically described RIM’s management precisely! lol

Has anyone told you that you are a moron?   1.  RIM sold far more than 1000 handsets last quarter.. and will sell FAR more than 1500 handsets this quarter.  2.   “The number of phones RIM sells is irrelevant in comparison to their top competitor. That’s the only metric that counts.”  – sure buddy.. because it can be successful or turn a profit unless it sells as many handsets as Apple.   

Get a life Apple troll..and stop posting on RIM articles..  reading your comments is starting to bring down my IQ.

Your right! RIM’s doing splendid! You should invest & buy all of their new products because they put so much handwork & detail into each one! lol! Their services are the best & OH YA, they have e-mail! Amazing! That’s sarcasm, if you didn’t notice, since your I.Q. has fallen! Don’t blame me for your LOW-level of intelligence. People are delusional because they start believing their lies after a while. Seek help! RIM cheerleading & kool-aid drinking will only have you suffering A LOT more in the near future!
