A discussion about the Telecommunication Industry

It’s been over a year since Research in Motion has introduced a new model to is ubiquitous Blackberry family.  In that time other newer more sophisticated mobile devices have cut into RIMs market share of smart phones, especially the Apple iPhone.   Several major service outages have also led some customers to defect to other devices.  Hoping to turn the tide, RIM has released a new model, the Bold.   The initial model would only be GSM capable, so it will work on AT&T and T-Mobile networks.  Later models will follow for Verizon and Sprint.   Notable features on the Bold are a higher resolution screen and dual band Wi-Fi capabilities.  Prices have not been released.
