Unfortunately, Next2Friends cannot be trusted until they start paying up money owed to its designers / developers and stop making false promises.

“Know which well-known phone outsells the iPhone in the U.S.? I’ll give you a big hint: This “other” phone has been around for some time, and more people use it to access the mobile Web than any other handset around. Give up? Say hello again to Motorola’s Razr phone.”

He might of been talking in futuretense as smartphones are on the rise he might know his stats.

Also, smartphones only accounted for 11% of total phones sold in Q2 2008. That makes them a pretty small slice of the worldwide pie, perhaps another way that he meant “mainstream”, as in, bringing live streaming to anything but smartphones is a move towards the “mainstream”. Either way, I don’t think calling BB “mainstream” is idiotic, confusing, maybe, but it depends on what you are referring to.

Mobile video streaming to hit Razr, BlackBerrys. Hello mainstream?…

Last week we reported that Next2Friends had come out with what appeared to be the first application for the BlackBerry Curve and Pearl handsets to stream live video to the Web, in a similar fashion to early players like Qik, Flixwagon, and Kyte. Now it…

I think it’s funny that on the link you’ve posted there are people specifically asking for live streaming for their Razrs and BlackBerrys in the comments section. Maybe you should just start directing them to Next2Friends

I think he’s talking about Razr’s dominance in the US market. Is Razr the future of mobile phones? No, but it is the one phone in the hands of the most Americans.

Worldwide S60 dominates the smartphone market, you’re right. But RIM dominates the US Smartphone market, perhaps another way that he meant “mainstream”. Either way, they’re bringing live streaming to a hugely neglected segment of the US market. I wonder if that was on purpose:)

Did anyone do research on this? Thought not – to describe BB as mainstream is idiotic. S60 far outweigh BB on sales.

Just downloaded and installed Live ( had to upgrade my OS) and the stream worked great- finally looks like I can have fun with the BB rather than just email and work stuff

me too CrackBerry, but I do have a Bold on order which I can wait to get a hold off. I have used the Next2Friends service now and it does rock! takes some getting used to- was really crazy seeing me and the gang on online at the same time- really insane! I am not playing around with social- you got that yet? pretty neat app, especially when you ref back to the site.

Not before time that somebody added worthwhile social apps to the Blackberry suite. I didn’t even realize that my Blackberry Curve could support video until I downloaded the N2F app. Note – I had to upgrade to the BB v4.5 OS first (but hey it was worth it and it only took a few minutes). This app is real cool. Well done you guys!!!
