Blackberry Future Uncertain

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the up-in-the-air dept.

Dave White writes "Research In Motion and NTP have failed to reach a settlement in the Blackberry case. It looks like the door has been opened for NTP to be granted an injunction blocking the sales of Blackberry wireless messaging devices in the US. The New York Times (free registration yadda yadda) has the scoop on this interesting development."

    You didn't research the market at all, did you? The BB (at least via a BES) does seamless integration with your exchange servers, works close to perfectly (BES seems to be massively more reliable than the exchange servers they rely on).

    They open word/excel/pdf good enough for most people. v4 of the software handles images massively better. And as another poster has mentioned, you can edit word/excel docs as well. Oh, and we are shipping out a couple of thousand of these ... throughout europe.

    They (Blackberry) make a very good business e-mail device, I doubt you'll find anything that works better. I'll be intrigued to find out how good the M$ product "works".

    I've used Pop/imap on my mobile, and its pretty lousy in comparison to Blackberry push technology.
