    Phone Different comments on Rim...

    Everybody loves sibling rivalry!

    Outages Online CrackBerry.com's near-constant updates on Blackberry
    outages not enough for you? Need the latest, greatest, up-to-date-est
    news on RIM's downtime in near real-time? Well, apparently so does the
    guy behind DataOutages.com. (Yes, we realize the domain name doesn't
    explicitly convey that the site tracks RIM/Blackberry outages, but
    it's with extra special schadenfreude we point out there really isn't
    any other kind, b'okay?)

    Amazon Pays People to Order Blackberries!

    We knew the mindset was shifting to Apple, the cool kids were all
    Cupertino-bound, the status simple was no longer cheap-plastic black
    but aircraft-grade aluminum, but -- wow... According to
    Crackberry.com, Amazon was actually paying people to take Blackberries
    off their hands last week. You read right. $75 big reasons to stick
    yourself with a tiny screen, tic-tactile keyboard, and all the outages
    you can eat.


    RIM RUMOR

    Scenta reports that RIM may be stalling their 3G Blackberry because of
    the impending release of the 3G iPhone. Though Fortune suggests that
    it is a technical glitch that is causing the delay, some rumor mongers
    are assuming that RIM is holding out on releasing the 3G Blackberry
    dubbed the 9000..er..8900.er.."Meteor" because it's afraid of
    competing head-to-head with Apple's next iPhone. Admittedly, this
    rumor could just be analysts stirring news against RIM, but it goes to
    show how far Apple has come in becoming a player in the cell phone
    market. And if there is some truth to this speculation, its another
    knock on RIM and the rest of the smartphone industry. Innovating has
    never been their strong suit, copying innovation, well that's another
    issue.

    IPHONE RUMOR

    Apple has inked a deal to bring the iPhone and new preferred iPhone
    data rates to Canada's Rogers network, right in Rim's own backyard.
    Poor Rim it gets no special lovin even from their own countries
    cellular network.

    Er, ah, vic?.......

    "Mac news from outside the reality distortion field"
    http://apple20.blogs.fortune.cnn.com...-sales-second-
    only-to-blackberry/

    Note the upper right corner of the picture how much WIDER the RIM (black)
    bar is than the Apple (purple). Then, notice how Symbian sales just dwarfs
    ALL of them about like a Boeing 747 dwarfs a model airplane sitting on the
    runway. Hell, I couldn't even see the Iphone until I got my glasses on!

    Their comment about the "reality distortion field" is PRICELESS.....(c;

    I bet Nokia is scared to death!
