Gotta get my 2 bits in here ... RIM's products are not novel or new. Motorola has had a 2-way pager for 1.5 years already (I saw it before it went production). Keyboards on theirs and Blackberry are way too small. For those of you unfamiliar with the wireless telecom market and the needs, wants and saleability of products .. you should do some research before you go nuts over RIM. This market is very complex and consumers are very picky. RIM is small potatoes folks. Here are some other interesting wireless products for you to peruse ... CDMA phone + Palm 3 integrated together - qualcomm.com Motorola's 2-way pager - mot.com Nokia's 9000 - nokia.com Motorola - pager + phone - nextel.com Palmtop PCs - everyone has one of these. With wireless modems. The list goes on and on. I agree with Chief (to an extent). Pagers are bye-bye. Integrated phones+pager or phones+palmpilots are the way of the future. Wireless data is the next big product .. and I don't mean email. I mean internet and video. This aside. RIM is fair game for day-traders!!
