Analysts Believe Blackberry is Doomed and Can’t Come Back
Wall Street says good luck to Blackberry on trying to make a come back to the mobile market. Wall Street says the damage is too great for the come back. Analysts reviews of the smartphone have been all bad, one Analyst said they “see limited scope for traction in the hypercompetitive smartphone market” for BlackBerry 10 and another said “expect a muted consumer response due to RIMM’s damaged brand image”. Barclays’s think for Blackberry to win in the market they needed to price their new devices much lower than what they priced the devices at now. Can Blackberry make a comeback with all this criticism from Analysts?
Blackberry Says They Want Netflix and Instagram Aboard BB10
One of the lacking features of the new BB 10 devices is in the app department. BB10 has no major backing when it comes to its app store. Blackberry (formerly RIM) said its in talks with Netflix and Instagram to bring their apps into the Blackberry fold for the BB10 devices. However Blackberry would not and could not confirm on the situation saying they “could not confirm when those apps will make their way into the store,” so BlackBerry fans may have to wait a while before they have access to two of the biggest apps in the mobile world”. If Blackberry Research and Development department did their homework they would know that apps make the mobile world go round so the sooner the better.

RIM Changes It’s Name To Blackberry
To the average consumer they were both the samething in the first place, I personally never heard anyone say they were getting a RIM Blackberry, the company and device went together for a lot of folks. The announcement came earlier today when they announced their newer devices the Z10 and The Q10. What does this mean for RIM/Blackberry, nothing much but building a stronger brand name for itself and trying to dig themselves out of a hole RIM created. Hopefully the name change will bring a new change on how the company will be ran from here on out.
RIM Super Bowl Ad to Show Off BlackBerry 10
Looks like RIM will be getting a big boost with potential sales with a commercial in next weeks Super Bowl. The commercial will focus on their big release of their BB10 device, RIM confirmed the news yesterday. The commercial will be RIM’s big debut as a company, a first for the Canada-based company which they have a commercial in the Super Bowl. “A Super Bowl commercial is a great opportunity to show the re-designed, re-engineered and re-invented BlackBerry to tens of millions of consumers on the largest advertising stage of the year,” RIM’s chief marketing officer, Frank Boulben, said in a statement.” Hopefully this will get RIM more exposure for their new device since they haven’t released a new device in over a year.
