Sorry Dave, apparently I misread your intro... I spent a few hours this afternoon trying to find an introductory product that penetrated a 10+ year old market with the same sort of numbers as the iPhone. I can neither find or think of one. On Mar 8, 2008, at 12:42 PM, dave malouf wrote: > F

First off, those weren't my words. Second off, Jeez! doesn't anyone have a sense of hyperbole any more? Of course Nokia and Blackberry are far from Dead, and I would even say they aren't all that sick either. What they aren't is prepared for the current war. I would argue though that BB has a bett
