Blackberry has about $2.9 billion in cash, a Superbowl ad is $3.8 million - I guess math wasn't your strong point huh?

Interesting analogy.
Lots of people thought Apple was terminal not so long ago. Those who do not learn from history.....

I'm a sucker...between the content of the articles lately and the 'positive' comments, this is a viral campaign from RIM. Nice work...I thought there really were more than like 3 people (who aren't shareholders) that cared about BB.

Your quoting numbers that for the past 2 years we knew what was going to happen. Once they announced they were making bb10 they came out and said that they were going to bleed until it was launched. They didn't expect growth with a dying os. Samsung will be dying in the phone market soon with Google making nexus devices so who does that leave? Apple? There will always be competition and with bb10 I feel they have a fighting chance if people realize its a different os and company than it was 2 years ago.

Wow, so poorly informed. I know you have lots of money in Apple so keep up the biased blogs.

God, there are similarities in all TECH ...

RIM invented the Smartphone, so Apple came in second and innovated something people liked better. RIM is answering now, this is how TECH works.

You can do a Mobile Hotstop on BB10 :)

All phones are SMART phones, sorry it's so complex for you.

BB10 is a pure mobile operating system designed for communication which puts it in contrast with Microsoft Windows 8 with it's one platform to rule them all approach. It will be interesting to see which one wins out.

There's a problem here. Apple has already announced that their phone is better. What more do people need? Besides I don't believe that Apple has given RIM permission to compete in their market. RIM could bet sued. Apple's legal department has had several weeks off with no one to sue and it's a brand new year. And anyhow, everyone might have already been told not to buy products from other companies. If you're an Applehead it's important to remain faithful.

Olympus (the camera company) advertised their mRobe mp3 player during the Superbowl. It was a flop, even though it was better than the iPod.

the phone stands on its own merrits outside of the corporate security context. it is a stellar device with innovation in many key consumer areas. its browser performance is astounding. i hear what your saying about loyalty but they still have 79 million subscribers and I fully expect the BB10 to lure many upgraders and new consumers alike. i really wish them well. their situation reminds me of apple 15 years ago lets just hope the result is similar!!

a hater i see...if you've even glanced at a BB10 spec sheet you might feel differently but then again, haters hate for no other reason than to hate

Re: RIM to advertise BlackBerry 10 during Super Bowl

greg1172 — Sun, 27 Jan 2013 21:01:25 -0000

agree and even if i'm not at an upgrade point in my contract, i'm buying one of these rascals right on release. it just looks like an astounding device seriously. very very very impressed but you know the street, they can find reasons to keep Rimm at $20/share if they want to. goddsake look at apple. $165Billion in 2012 revenues with extra $40 billion in accumulated cash and the stock tanks 40% lol. all the while google is missing expectations and trading at almost double the PE. sometimes i wish i could throw a dart at "the market"

Re: RIM to advertise BlackBerry 10 during Super Bowl

greg1172 — Sun, 27 Jan 2013 20:58:30 -0000

me too though I got 2000 shares at $14 and when it dipped to 10.60 or so i had a failed buy order for another 5000 shares but i missed. should have been paying attention but i wasn't. i genuinely believe RIM is going to hit a home run and get their mojo back. the BB10 is an outstanding device, from what i've read, and I can't wait to put my hands on it. wish the stock would bounch down a little bit so i could get some more just not entirely sure i want to enter at $17.5. hey XPM if your expecting mid 20s soon why did you sell :)

RIM will be dead this year. Bank on it. There are really only 2 companies in the handheld business; Samsung and Apple. Everyone else, including Nokia has less than 4% market share and slipping, that's 4% globally. Almost of it is in Europe. In the US RIM has 1.1% market share. Even in Europe though, with 4% broadly, that's down from 27% October 2011. In France market share dropped from 16% to 8% in 1 year and that's the good news. In Spain they dropped from 24% to 3% in 1 year. RIM is finished. Their only strategy is to sell the server side messaging hub business and whatever client side security technology can be shoehorned into Android. And dump the rest in the trash. Maybe Microsoft could buy it but it's unlikely given their blinders and paranoia against anything that either isn't home grown or can't be used to strictly to cannibalize someone else's market share - which RIM clearly can't. No - it has to be an Android play as an 'enterprise' messaging platform with built in better security for Outlook, Exchange, Sharepoint and Lotus Notes integration.
