BBRY - BlackBerry (old RIMM) - Page 3

im trying to figure out if itll rebound back tomoz..any ideas?

RIMM is in big trouble now... (iPhone.org)

i am the biggest backer of apple but i can tell you that i think RIMM is not in trouble. blackberrys will still own the buisness world of cell phones, however you notice that these PDA type phones have become more popular for your everyday consumer, thats where apple cell phone will dominate

yeah and you have to consider what the price will be.

Yeah ok I might just be over enjoying my day
Just ignore what I say for a few hours

Its time to buy this one for a quick 3% gain

definitely an overreaction considering it's not even coming out till june.

up 2.8% almost there

+4.66 ....hit my target past 3% I'm out

BlackBerry, BlackJack makers settle suit

NEW YORK, Feb 08, 2007 (AFX via COMTEX News Network) --
BlackBerry maker Research in Motion Ltd. has reached a
settlement in its trademark infringement lawsuit against Samsung Electronics Co.
over that company's new "BlackJack" smart phone, the companies announced
Wednesday.
Waterloo, Ontario-based RIM said in a statement that the settlement of the
lawsuit it filed in December includes "immediate provisions for the protection
of RIM's valuable trademarks," but that the companies had agreed to keep
specific terms of the deal confidential.
A spokesman for Samsung at the South Korean company's U.S. headquarters in
Texas confirmed that a settlement had been reached.
RIM's statement -- which misspelled the BlackJack name with a lower case
"j"
-- said the settlement "does include limitations on use of the Blackjack
trademark, withdrawal of the trademark application for Blackjack, Cingular's
retention of common law rights in the Blackjack trademark, and certain
reasonable measures to avoid confusion in the marketplace."
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for Central California, had
alleged unfair competition and trademark dilution by Samsung in using the name
BlackJack in connection with a handheld device that like the BlackBerry features
a full keyboard for thumb typing e-mail.
The BlackJack was introduced in November in the U.S. by AT&T Inc.'s Cingular
Wireless, which also happens to be the single largest purveyor of BlackBerry
devices and e-mail service.
Samsung introduced a very similar device to the BlackJack earlier in 2006
in
Britain through Vodafone Group PLC under a different brand name, the i600.
In its lawsuit, RIM suggested it was no accident that Samsung used a
different name overseas, where BlackBerry is less popular, and then chose the
BlackJack name for the market where BlackBerry is best known. RIM's lawsuit also
suggested that Samsung chose the BlackJack to take advantage of the recent
launch a BlackBerry device called the Pearl that is similarly small and also
black in color.

Research In Motion on target to meet or exceed Feb quarter numbers - Piper Jaffray (RIMM) 133.20 -0.73 : Piper Jaffray says, based on positive management meetings, the timely launch of the new 8800 device, and their channel checks indicating strong sell through of the Pearl, they believe RIMM is on target to meet or exceed Feb quarter numbers. Their checks indicate Pearl remains a top selling product at Cingular and T-Mobile stores, while the 8703e gained share during Jan from the Treo 700p/w at Sprint.

RIMM is currently consolidating.

I presume that their will be some big news comng out soon(guided by the option volatility) and the stock will either break up big or down.

Looking pretty bullish.

I've seen a huge shift at my company, we're dumping Blackberry in favor of ActiveSync, which is "free" and works with most new smart phones. (I say free, but you pay for it as part of exchange and your phone)....

But Verizon offers us cash to exchange our phones for these new "smart" active sync phones so we are essentially getting all new phones for no cost, switching ot active sync for no cost, and getting rid of our blackberry server which has been nothing but flaky since we put it in.

I'm finding a lot of my professional contacts (IT Admins and CIOs at other companies) are making similar discoveries and beginning to put in plans to make the same move.

If I had the margin, I'd short the piss out of this in the near future.

it's already an inflated hog. i laugh at myself, with the money I've made on RIMM...pretty much all to the long side. has been a lesson in itself in not shorting strength, even over the medium term horizon.

wait for RIMM pulling to 150 and pull up the 2008 chains...

I would love to scale into a mega short on RIMM for sub 100 prices. but the setup will take time, no doubt.

sean

Earnings are April 11......should I short the %!!$@$# of it????

It's at resistance now on lower than average volume. Seems like a good short on confirmation perhaps Monday.

The stock has indeed been very volatile.

It brokkeout out of its trading range on Friday on average volume. Earnings are coming out this week. There is no doubt that they will deliver good earnings but the question now becomes are they going to be good enough to please the streets lofty expectations.

The reminds me of HANS when expectations were just out of context.

Blackberry is killing the competition. They alone dominate 50% of the cell phoine market share. There basically have a monopoly overit and I dont think that Apples Iphone will take much market share away from them.

The Iphone will be a good phone but not a business phine which is what the Blackberry is really designed for.

the blackberry Pearl sells expectations are somewhat high but I think that it will come over expectations.

I wouldnt play this stock into earnings on either side. I would rather wait and see where people send the stock. Becuase many analysts expect the average investor to short the stock on earnings date because they believe the price is somewhat over inflated then they might very well pop it up.

Right now it is risky toplay but the options pit is bullish for now.
