JEast Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Not to pile on the RIMM discussion, but I recently was informed that a very large corporate customer just told all managers they were switching to iPhones. This is curious to me because this same company's upper management pushed back for 2 years in '04-'06 before the RIMM rollout. First the rollout started slowly, then a full push out to managers in '07. (see RIMM price chart) Now, a complete abandonment of RIMM for APPLE. Contagion, mass psychology, or just that much of a superior performance increase?? http://www.forbes.com/sites/adamthierer/2012/04/01/bye-bye-blackberry-how-long-will-apple-last/ Cheers JEast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCG Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Shouldn't this be in the RIM thread? Not sure thus article warrants its own thread. Large corporations are switching away from Blackberry all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEast Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 True that the above article may not warrant its own tread, but this article on "The Cliff" (how handset makers die) and the short replacement cycle might. http://communities-dominate.blogs.com/brands/2012/03/the-cliff-theory-of-handset-collapse-why-in-mobile-phones-do-companies-die-so-fast-siemens-motorola-.html Cheers JEast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
