New Clamshell Blackberry Rumored to Sell for $49
If the rumor is true, I tend to think that this phone will eat up the low-cost phone segment. The key is that the phone live up to the quality expectations that are typical of RIM phones.
Since I'm on the topic of Blackberries, I have to say that I'm getting sick of quote-whoring phone analysts talking out of their backsides.
There is no such thing as an iPhone killer. There is no such thing as a Blackberry killer. And no, Palm is not on its last legs.
There's a huge segment that wants an iPod/iPhone experience. That segment is not going to be swayed by any phone offering an iPhone-like experience. The same applies for Blackberries. And if the popularity of the Palm Centro is any indicator, Palm is finally starting to get back on its feet. The phone market is huge, and if you're to believe that there is such a thing as a Long Tail, then there is plenty of room for everyone to make money.
