RIM gained share too. In fact they’re now 4 points ahead of us, while last year they were only 3 points ahead of us. Forget that! Don’t look at those numbers!

ha, yes, marketing. I don't use RIM. However, I don't see a whole lot of similarities between the storm and the tour. Granted, I don't like either phone. But you must be referring to something else...?

And laughing all the way to the bank? You have got to be kidding me. Maybe you think Apple is just breaking even... (AAPL). And all of those millions of apps? I forgot the last time I needed

hahaha... I love how you call 10 options for phones a bad thing. You guys are backwards as ALL hell. Oh sorry, I forgot. Apple's brainwashed you into WANTING the same phone as everyone else. My mistake.

As soon as the corporate IT tards lose control of which phones their drones

that's all well and good, but if you don't fix your app store approvals soon, your going to lose your developer base, at which point you will be relegated to the "could have been a contender" pile pretty quickly...
