Blackberry may just be the most popular phone out there these days, but has been experiencing problems in the last couple of days. There was a series of blackberry outages this past week and this has upset current consumers. Most of the individuals unhappy with what happened are investors, who have decided to start choosing the Android or Iphone over the blackberry. Just over the last two days, the shares in RIM, which is Research in Motion, lost 2% of investors. RIM have their best people on the case to fix the outages so they don't lose other buyers to other phones. One person from the company said that it might actually be a good thing for the people who don't have to receive gloomy emails for the next couple of days. They say it will be restored asap, but will the members of RIM stick to their word?
I was very interested in this article right when I saw it because I have a blackberry and am very frustrated with what has been happening the last couple of days. With this outage, it seems that anyone who was deciding over a blackberry or Iphone basically had the choice made for them. This is sad because I believe there are many aspects of the blackberry that exceeds that of the Iphone. I would recommend this article to anyone who has a blackberry so that they can receive an explanation of why their blackberry messages aren't going through. Hopefully it will be resolved soon but right now, the blackberry markets continue to lose more and more buyers to other products.
