I just get back from my second trip to the airport today and what's in my inbox but a weird BlackBerry email.
In similar words from Hamlet: methinks they doth protest too much.
Here it is with brief commentary on BerryReview.
Maybe BlackBerry is not living under a rock for acknowledging they are under siege, but they do not acknowledge that this is not in the same envionment as before. Like Thursday's Macy's Parade the balloons have collapsed and the parade has gone by. Rather than a leader of the smartphone marathon BlackBerry is now in a dash to safeguard its highest hanging fruit while the lowest hanging drops in other baskets.
We've had our love/hate affair with the BES server over the years. As both BES and our migration technology for E2K3 were CDO applications anything that screwed up BES (usually permissions or CDO calendaring bugs) were harbingers for what was going to happen with our code. To this day some of our all-time most popular blog posts are referenced on the BlackBerry forum to deal with permissions issues.
I wish them good fortune.
But I also wish you the same thing we advise everyone: look at all your options and test the snot out of them with the knowledge that your user base is seeking direction from you now and your next performance review is coming faster than you think.
