I’m still puzzled about the BlackBerry’s strength. Since I follow a lot of Apple discussion, Apple fans are always saying that RIM is just going to keel over and die in a short while because their products are so sub-par compared to the iPhone and the reason so many BlackBerrys are being sold is because RIM is practically giving them away. Apparently people are still buying BlackBerrys and investors still think that the BlackBerry isn’t done for. We’ll see by the end of this year. You can use the BlackBerry on any carrier so it certainly isn’t restricted to only a small percentage users like the iPhone is. Plus they sell different models to please more potential buyers.

Supposedly the iPhone will come in two different flavors in June. A lower-priced model (possibly for China and India) and a Pro-type version. Maybe that will really boost iPhone sales. Apps and games should continue to drive sales for quite a while. Hardware will just have to take a back seat for iPhone users.
