Street Addiction
Do you know the difference between the 4-toed sloth and the 3-toed sloth?
The 4-toed sloth has an opposable thumb. So do most animals on Wall Street.
But very few sloths own Blackberry’s. Although Gadget Girl loves her Pearl…
That said - let’s not forget the Pearl. We were loathe to make the change from our blackberry 7280 because it was a workhorse. But we took the plunge and are so glad we did. After taking the Pearl from the box and plugging it into our laptop it transferred thousands of messages, contacts and calendar entries and set up 3 different email accounts in less than 10 minutes. It also takes little time to get used to the new keyboard. Now we are sorry we didn’t buy it the day it came out.
What a breeze compared with the Samsung Blackjack...we spent the better part of an afternoon enabling one for a friend and it was a total nightmare. Papa don’t preach but I will...Pearl in a landslide. 2/7/2007
The excitement over the iPhone gave investors a chance to buy the dip in Research In Motion (RIMM-NASDAQ). An upgrade today by Canaccord Adams is setting the stock up for a retest of the highs...their global handset survey of 40 telecom carriers indicates that Waterloo is picking up market share and Canaccord raised subscriber addition and shipment estimates approximately 10%.
Good news for sure. But we have better news for CrackBerry users and abusers. You now have a place to turn for help…

check out their piece on the 8800..it could give the iPhone a run for its money…
This week’s launch of the 8800, and the features contained therein, leads to the obvious question. Is Research In Motion positioning itself early to take on the new Apple iPhone?
The slimmest version of the device yet, the BlackBerry 8800 also features a music and video player, a global positioning system and a full keyboard.
RIM is clearly trying to hold onto its lead in the North American smartphone market by rekindling enthusiasm for the BlackBerry before the rival Apple iPhone is released this June.
The market for phones with web access may rise to 250 million units by next year from almost 90 million in 2006, according to Finnish phone maker Nokia. Motorola, the world’s second-largest mobile-phone maker, recently introduced new versions of its Q e-mail phone, at the 3GSM World Congress technology conference in Barcelona, Spain and Nokia, the largest mobile-phone maker, also showed three models for business use.
Sales of phones with computer-like functions tripled in the US from January to October 2006, according to researcher NPD Group in Port Washington, New York. BlackBerry led U.S. sales for e-mail phones in the third quarter with 31.6 percent of the total, slightly ahead of Palm Inc.’s Treo with 31.5 percent, and Motorola with 12.2 percent and Nokia with 6.4 percent.
