Blackberry crumbles: A breakdown in communications

[denphone]

"BlackBerry toujours dans le coma" was the plaintive tweet from one distressed BlackBerry user yesterday afternoon as RIM, the company behind BlackBerry, battled to fight a third day of connectivity problems. Since Monday morning, an estimated 10 million BlackBerry users have had to struggle with web and email services that have been intermittent at best and, in many cases, not functioning at all; these problems have also affected BBM, the free text-messaging service that's a huge attraction for millions of BlackBerry users.

I'm watching RIM (makers of blackberry) with interest, I personally think they're on a long slow slide to oblivion, the days of the corp exec using their blackberry are long gone, times have moved on and there's a lot more decent competition in the Smartphone sector. Blackberry need to get their stuff together just to hold market share. I give them 3 years, but we'll see.

Even their own executives have concerns.
