- JasonCox, on 10/09/2008, -4/+26Congrats Mac users, now you can have the same crappy software that bogs down the exec's computers at my office!
- EtherGnat, on 10/09/2008, -2/+24The second M is for McCain, the inventor of the Blackberry.

- xutopia, on 10/09/2008, -2/+10You are right although the confusion is understandable as the stock ticker is RIMM: http://finance.google.com/finance?client=ob&q=NASD ...
- Firanide, on 10/09/2008, -0/+7Or http://rim.jobs

- jonshipman, on 10/09/2008, -2/+9Congrats! Here's your pat on the back so well deserved!
- miken32, on 10/09/2008, -0/+6There are thousands of people using Blackberries for work, who have no ability or inclination to replace it with an iPhone. Work is what they're meant for, although you wouldn't know it looking at this software. If I want to listen to music I've got an iPod. How about they let me sync my Exchange contacts without firing up a virtual Windows machine.
- DreKor, on 10/09/2008, -0/+6;)
- macslut, on 10/09/2008, -0/+5The iPhone now has better Exchange Server integration than BlackBerry, not much better as the BlackBerry is pretty close to 100%, but the difference is that Apple licensed ActiveSync and the iPhone can go directly to your Exchange Server of choice as opposed to hopping through the RIM servers in Canada...which have been known to go down.
- Chebsi, on 10/09/2008, -1/+6Well, it's still RIM on the TSE.
- moog, on 10/09/2008, -1/+6what kind of stupid question is that?
- NathanielJ, on 10/09/2008, -0/+5The headline on my University's homepage for a while last year was "RIM Job Fair This Week".
Ah, good times. - Chebsi, on 10/09/2008, -1/+6Hundreds of corporations assign their employees BlackBerrys.
- noerrorsfound, on 10/09/2008, -0/+5M-M-M-M-M-M-MONSTER IGNORANCE!
- yeahright, on 10/09/2008, -2/+6Maybe the submitter is referring to the stock symbol?
http://finance.google.com/finance?client=ob&q=NASD ... - NathanielJ, on 10/09/2008, -0/+4@DreKor - ...are you doing it on purpose now or something?
- ZigVicious, on 10/09/2008, -0/+4Yeah, those people who refer to IBM as IBM are weird...
- DreKor, on 10/09/2008, -2/+6Linux people really want a Blackberry? RIM is pretty much the epitome of closed systems.
- Rikushix, on 10/09/2008, -2/+6Watch out Apple, now they have even More Motion.
- DreKor, on 10/09/2008, -1/+4your right, I can never remember which is which.
- johnpaul191, on 10/09/2008, -0/+3I agree 100%. I even broke down and paid the $40 for Missing Sync and have had a bear of a time getting it to work properly (and lost lots of phone numbers in the process).
I realize that RIM is responsible for the software, not Verizon, but Verizon's sales reps mislead you into thinking it'll work. At least AT&T offers the ultimate MAc compatible cell phone.... verizon kind of strands you. - Shaman760, on 10/09/2008, -0/+3I wish Verizon would pull their heads out of their asses and get Mac Friendly. If a Verizon rep says that a phone of theirs is "Mac compatible" do us all a favor and punch them in the mouth for being a DAMN LIAR.
- getoffmybridge, on 05/05/2009, -2/+5There's something to be proud of
- rpgguy1o1, on 10/09/2008, -0/+3I actually just started my position here at RIM on Monday but I've been using that joke for over a month solid now, people are starting to get really sick of it.
- ilgaz, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3Dear RIM, Nokia, Sony, Samsung and possibly MS Windows Mobile division.
Too late guys, you are wasting your money. I am saying as a guy who had to run MS Virtual PC to backup his smart phone. Too late. Your image isn't bad on Mac land, you don't simply exist.
For 5 years you just couldn't buy a low end Mac (e.g. Mini) and run XCode eh? Yes that was all you needed for developing for Mac. - Rikushix, on 10/09/2008, -1/+4Evidently you have not listened to the Tragically Hip, Stompin' Tom Connors, or the Hockey Night in Canada theme song.
- jer2eydevil88, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3You mean I need to sync my portable device? Isn't that the whole reason Android is going to own the market in a year or two...
- skidooer, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3Just wait until these RIMM users switch over to the phone from AAPL.
- vault, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3Is Missing Sync crap? I'm a mac user on Verizon, and I was thinking about getting the Blackberry Storm when it comes out...was going to rely on that.
- spectre_25gt, on 10/09/2008, -2/+5As far as I can see, you still can't upgrade the firmware on a Mac. Fail.
- syda, on 10/09/2008, -3/+6RIMM is the stock symbol as listed on the NASDAQ - it's not a typo.
I've seen people refer to Apple as AAPL, Microsoft as MSFT, and IBM as IBM. - Hindu_Wardrobe, on 10/09/2008, -1/+4I use Linux, and personally love my Blackberry.
- TracerBulletNPI, on 10/09/2008, -1/+4I second that. The Blackberry syncing situation on windows is just as abysmal. When I used a BB, before switching back to windows mobile, the syncing drove me nuts. The periodic, by design, wiping of all the data off the device when it's memory filled was the last straw (what kind of software engineer thought that was a good idea?)...

- ScottyDelicious, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2I have been a Mac user for the last 11 years. There is no AT&T coverage in my area, but I bought a used iPhone on ebay, jailbroke, unlocked, and activated it as a PAYG. It is an incredible device. I WISH I could use it as a phone (works fine when I get to a populated area). I am intensely interested in the BlackBerry Storm since there is great verizon coverage in my area. I have a feeling that the Storm could be the greatest phone since, well... since the iPhone, but the experience of syncing has the potential to make it so painful that many Storm users may end up finding it more useful as a suppository.
I would love to see an iTunes SIMBL bundle to handle syncing the BlackBerry devices just like the iPhone. That would be rad. - bootup, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2It amazes me that people brag about Mac as if it is something to be proud of. Apple is worse than Microsoft with its lock-ins and THEY CHARGE YOU MORE FOR IT! I guess Mac users are too stupid to realize everybody is laughing at them who has a clue. I have to admit the premium price is not my objection what-so-ever. I've paid 3 times the amount for better service/decent hardware for GNU/Linux. It's the scams Microsoft & Apple pull that irritate me.
- bootup, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2Not the point- I'd prefer the Freerunner over a Blackberry though. Allot of IT guys get issues these things who NEED support for GNU/Linux. Then they do something like this? Another reason not to get a Blackberry.
- bootup, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2Businesses that survive use GNU/Linux, businesses that eventually go bankrupt use MS Windows, and companies that never get off the ground use Mac.
