I have to admit that [...]

Why RIM isn’t dead to me: I’m getting far too much done, faster, with my Bold!

By on April 17, 2012 in News

I recognise that RIM is having a challenging time at the moment. Quite a few people have been prodding me in recent weeks, asking why I am “still loyal”. One chap I met recently for coffee reckoned that I “love” RIM too much and “can’t see the wood for the trees.” No. I can see [...]

BlackBerry is still the fastest messaging experience bar none
