1. Few applications
Research in Motion boasts about the 35,000 applications on the online store.But who needs them? Obviously, BlackBerry customers, especially since we live in a world of applications. But the same consumers may find applications on Android Market, 200,000 of them and 425,000 in Apple store.
2. Lack of a cross-selling type system
Apple customers who received for Christmas gifts an iPhone or iPad tablet have suddenly decided they need a Mac, after all.Apple's sales cross type work. iPhone and iPhone customers are driven by the Mac. Research in Motion hasn't one. BlackBerry customers are on a desert island.
3. difficulty using
IPhone or Android consumer behavior has shown that the BlackBerry products can be anything but easy to use. Consumers simply do not have the patience to read the entire manual on how to make a call. They want to use the phone that ios handy, intuitive, without hundreds of settings made for simple operations. BlackBerry simply fails at this aspect.
4. Price
Arguments that Research in Motion could remain an important player in the mobile market if prices fall, does not work.
5. Where is the perfect candidate?
BlackBerry handsets are built on a wrong foundation. What was hot yesterday lives on today in the BlackBerry phones. Apple and Google are always one step ahead and Blackberry fails to go along with these companies.
DriveSafe.ly reads out loud SMS text messages but also e-mail on your Blackberry, so you can focus on the road and driving. 
Release the temptation to answer the phone in the car while leaving the application DriveSafe.ly reads your messages and responds automatically for you. Thus, without any problem, you can always stay connected while you are listening to messages. For more specialized functions, you can download the application DriveSafe.ly Pro also available in BlackBerry App World, which allows can use additional voices, listening to individual posts and more!
This application was created because, lately traffic accidents doubled in the passed year and the motive is talking, messaging and other phone usage. I find this application very useful, because it helps you keep in touch with friends, family and business safely. And that is the most important part of the application, it keeps you safe and alert on the road.
Drive Safe.ly application is a must have for your Blackberry phone.
A few days ago I learned that RIM will launch BlackBerry OS7 terminals in the coming months, and now we have news about one of these models. Thus, after BlackBerry Bold and BlackBerry 9900 Monza was revealed, it was the turn for Torch 2 to go into the official documents, resulting from the FCC tests.
Torch 2's Code name is RDM71UW at FCC and supports the connectivity bands GSM 850 and 1900, with the WCDMA II and V. These details confirm the possibility of the new terminal to operate in the AT & T network, not surprising, given fact that the first Torch was also in the operator's portfolio. It would be interesting to know, though, if Torch 2 will support HSPA + or NFC ...
From what we know so far, this new model comes with a 3.2-inch touch display, with 640 x 480 pixels, a 1.2 GHz processor, 768 MB RAM, 8 GB internal memory and a 5 megapixel camera. We now wait for a debut date for the BlackBerry Torch 2.

iPhone surpassed BlackBerry on the U.S. market in March-May of this year, informs Agerpres.
Thus, while iPhone's market share increased to 8.7% from 7.5% in the previous three months, Blackberry's market share fell to 8.1% from 8.6%. Samsung has maintained its leadership on the U.S. with a market share of 24.8% followed by LG with 21.1% (up from 20.9% in February) and Motorola with 15.1% (down from 16.1%).
On the top of the operating systems, the Android platform was the most important on smartphone market with a 38.1% share, up from 33% in February. However, the iOS system from Apple is now the second platform on the U.S. software market, with a share of 26.6%, up from 1.4% in February, followed by RIM 24.7% down from 28.9% three months ago, Microsoft with 5.8% share, down from 7.7%, and Palm, with a share of 2.4%, down from 2 8%.
Against all expectations, Blackberry has become a force to be reckoned with. Considering that the market is just beginning to grow, we will have many surprises, in a good way and bad way as well.
Manufactured by RIM, the BlackBerry Bold is the corporate's standard smartphone, but the iPhone has captured the public's imagination. Does BlackBerry Bold deserve to remain a standard for business or iPhone devices are bright but lacks in substance?
Now is the time for the duel between the Blackberry and iPhone,productivity smartphone vs. excellent multimedia phone. Both iPhone and Blackberry display email lists. BlackBerry Bold provides more navigation shortcuts plus a search function, and the iPhone doesn't, which allows, however, to select multiple messages to delete or move non-border, unlike the BlackBerry you can select only consecutive posts.
iPhone can display most Web pages and can navigate them. BlackBerry also displays Web pages but navigation is difficult because of the small zoom capability. Display in column presents some problems of exposure in some cases, not displayed in full text. Also, the BlackBerry Bold uses HTML compared to the iPhone, which does not support Flash.
First, both work, obviously with BlackBerry operating system.There are two smartphones with QWERTY keyboard and 2.46 inchTFT display with a resolution of 320x240 pixels. 
There aren't any size differences , both have 60x109x14 mm, but Curve 8520 is two grams heavier than the heir (106, 104 grams). Battery life is 4 and a half hours talk time and 408 hours (Curve 8520) and 456 hours (Curve 3G 9300 -348 hours in 3G) in standby . The internal memory is 256MB (expandable up to 32GB with a microSD card), the camera has a resolution of 2MP, no flash. None of the models has a secondary camera for video calls. Both Curve 8520 and 3G 9300 have Bluetooth , GPRS, WiFi and no radio. The important difference is that 8520 hasn't 3G.
If in the case of Curve 8520 screen size is acceptable, we can say that we had more pretensions from 9300 3G.
The conclusion is that if you want a phone like Curve 8520, but with 3G and USB 2.0, then you can opt for Blackberry 3G 9300. But the price depends on the options.
Research In Motion, the company that makes BlackBerry smart phones said it would lay off 10% of employees worldwide, namely 2,000 workers. The decision was taken due to heavy losses suffered by the phone maker lately.
RIM officials said the job reduction is part of the cost optimization.After dismissal, RIM will have about 17,000 employees, globally."We focus on cost reduction and relocation of resources to areas that offer greater growth opportunities and that aligns with the strategic objectives of RIM," said a company spokesman. Also, company spokesman also announced the departure of the operating chief, Don Morrison, who retired after 10 years of work in the company. This definitely isn't good news for Blackberry or Blackberry costumers. If this is only the beginning, that means that it will follow with a increase of prices and many more.
Moreover, Blackberry will keep producing terminals with Blackberry OS, which is not exactly on the top of operating systems regarding applications.
A tweet was launched today on behalf of BlackBerry officials , that suggests the announcement of some new RIM terminals. The same tweet says that they have a newer OS, more precisely the BlackBerry OS 7.
Knowing the internal problems of the Canadians regarding the directorial appeal between Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis, which has in the roots, the sharp decrease in popularity of BlackBerry devices and the period between the announcement of a terminal and its commercial launch - see example PlayBook. I wonder if the handsets that are announced tomorrow will start to get into the hands of those interested before Christmas?
It will not be so, because I tend to believe that Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis will be put on hold(if you know what I mean) even before the new terminal to reach the store's or retailer websites.
Returning to the tweet, the information we gathered from the Internet and previous rumors, I expect that the Blackberrys that are presented tomorrow to be : Bold 9790, Torch 9810, Torch 9850, Torch 9860, Curve 9350 and Curve 9360.
FCC is the U.S. authority that tests and approves all electronic products before their market launch, and now came the turn for BlackBerry Bold 9900 to enter their headquarters. Along with this news we find out that the terminal will be launched in August, at least in the United States.
FCC Tests focuses specifically on connectivity, with a strong accent on Bluetooth, NFC and WiFi, and yet we have no news about the network connections that this smart-phone has.
At this time, RIM put all their hopes in this smartphone, which will become the most evolved in means of specifications in the Canadian portfolio. We are dealing with a mobile processor 1.2 GHz, 2.8-inch touch-screen display with 640 x 480 pixels and 768 MB RAM. BlackBerry OS 7 is on theterminal, or rather a rebranded BB OS 6.1, to bring us closer to the QNX OS.
Let's see if the phone operator will be put the Blackberry Bold 9900 on sale in August or September.
