RIM = Research In Motion = The company that makes BlackBerrys
Oh, wow. Boy Genius tweeted this the other night amid some of his rants against the new BlackBerry 9800 Torch and how frustrating the operating system was. While I haven't personally had any experience with a Torch or BlackBerry OS6 which is on it, it's not hard to imagine. I actually remember reading this article last summer and there was a brief discussion about this on a CrackBerry podcast last year as well.
This write up really seems to have come to fruition too. RIM has hit a plateau and it's noticeable. Now the BlackBerry is still amazingly solid and really nothing wrong from most vantage points--it's more about the outlook of what's to come in the future. With the current state it's hard to see as much growth and development that has been and will continue with other platforms and other phones. It really lends to the fact that it was around this time last year that I started carrying two phones because my BlackBerry wasn't enough and I desired more mobile functionality--and I actually don't really have a wish for one phone right now.
Anyways, I just thought it was intriguing to read that BGR post a year later and think about it...to think that my BlackBerry hasn't really done anything new in the last year and probably won't do anything new in the next year, lol. Well, I did get the trackpad in the last year so I guess we can count that--though it's hardware and not software... when will I be so happy with a phone that I can colorware it again?
lol, and is this the latest news from RIM?

You’d think that RIM would be replacing highest-end product with a brand new device, right? Well, previous rumors suggested that the BlackBerry Bold 9700 would get nothing more than a simple refresh, and we’re able to confirm those rumors. We have a leaked internal document detailing all sorts of fun stuff. Market positioning, technical overviews, and a bunch more. The big picture view? The BlackBerry Bold R020 (9020? 9750 We’re just guessing) will be practically identical to the 9700 visually. Internal changes include a 5 megapixel camera sensor, and 512MB of RAM up from 256MB. It will also launch with BlackBerry 6 — obviously. We’d love to say there is more, but there isn’t, so check out the leaked document and let us know your thoughts, ok?
