UPDATED: New Blackberry Curve user: Please wait 6 days before using device

This is absolute bollocks. I hear from Imogen. She occasionally follows Mobile Industry Review, mostly via my Facebook profile.

Fred Grott found this one and tweeted it up this evening.  It’s a fascinating perspective on how a large, integrated platform based product cycle responds to external forces.

My apology; And why I won’t believe anything SpinVox says in future

Spin is inherent in the mobile industry. I read it all the time and most of the time it’s gently benign. “Our application is available on 110 handsets,” is a good example. Peer into the list and you’ll find the majority of them are Nokia-only. The company hasn’t bothered developing for LG. Or Sony Ericsson [...]
