| RIM expected to lose subscribers for the first time |
| By Thom Holwerda on 2012-09-24 22:34:24 |
| It's going to be a rough month for what was once one of the most successful smartphone companies in the world. Between all the Android and iOS violence, it's easy to forget there's this Canadian company which was still growing its userbase every month. However, it's expected the company will lose subscribers for the very first time. |

| If susbribers are down, it mainly means corporate customers got sucked into coolness and laissez-faire from security stand-point. |

| Security what? There's no security on a smartphone. |

| But BlackBerry encrypts as much as it can, it is unmatched as far as I know, that was my point... Leaving blackberry is no good news from security standpoint. If this is a trend... you imagine. |

This is a lie or a government coverup or something. At least that is what they are saying on Crackberry. |

> Security what? There's no security on a smartphone. My sibling works at the DoD & Pentagon. They are allowed modified Android phones with extra security software and strict protocols and Blackberry phones only. Despite the desire to hop on the Apple bandwagon, iPhones are not allowed for usage. That security? |

If you read the article, it's an opinion piece filled with what analysts "think" will happen when RIM announces their numbers at the end of the quarter. Of course, it's got a nice doom and gloom headline, and everyone's treating it as fact... Is someone shorting RIMM stock again? Disclosure: I work for RIM. |

> http://www.bgr.com/2012/08/13/ip... Seriously, do you Apple fanatics even read the articles that you post in defense? Read it carefully again. It does not say that the DOJ, LEO, or other security government professionals use the iPhone or even recommend it to their employees for work. This article, however, backs up my original post: http://www.muktware.com/news/314... Nothing has changed as of yet with these policies. |

| I went from BB, iPhone, to Nokia like this ... |
| By pcunite on 2012-09-25 13:33:33 |
| I've always had a soft spot for Blackberry; my last phone was the 8320. But I always wanted a phone that was great at email, text, GPS, and web surfing. The iPhone 4 was all that. But ... I also want a phone that syncs more naturally to my PC, thus I look forward to WP8 phones like the Nokia lumia 920. |

| All those comments about security... I would have thought high security areas would ban the use of phones all together... |
