It seems right out of the gate , its a plugged horse. Now if Black Berry can respond fast enough to customer concerns , then maybe they can regain the BB faithful and I mean respond really really fast and not take a year to fix (out of the gate issues). Then maybe they have a chance to stay in the play.
Heard a financial analysis today and BB screwed up. Even IF it is good... having to wait 2 months to get one...is a "killer". They should have had the announcement when you could go to the store and get one immediately. I think it's too little too late.
BTW Jobs was right... no hard keyboard on this model. They Are going to release one with a keyboard but only for those that are hooked on a hardwired one and don't want to change. BTW it comes out in APRIL ! WTF are they thinking ?
Oh stock sank another 7% yesterday - didn't look to see what it did today. UpDate: Its down 28% in last 5 days.

Yep your about right.
I have to say before the iPhone - BB had the only smart phone out there or call it half better than a dumb phone . It was the best for its time -> however it was buttt arse bulky ugly and the software was complicated to use.
I tell you it was such a joy (comedy) watching our high power VP's during a meeting using a BB . Way to funny.
My issues with BB; Way to slow with customer concerns. Way to slow with model updates <- only time they address minor customer concerns.
Which lead to BB loss of market and like MS as well. They honestly felt that the iPhone and iPad - means nothing to them.
