RIM Sold 150 Million Phones In 12 Years, 15 Million Last Quarter
There are plenty of reasons RIM will last out this decade and there are plenty of reasons – namely the rise of Android devices – that it won’t. However, I worry that the 15 million number will dwindle as business consumers get more choice and more options. End-to-end security isn’t important when you have, for example, secure webmail or a secure connection to a web app.
That said, the new Bold is quite handsome. I hope it’s enough to keep crackberry enthusiasts, well, enthused.
