RIM Stock Rebounds after They Show Their New Operating System
Earlier this week RIM stated that they are going to be launching variations of two of the existing Blackberry smartphones.
One version is the CDMA for the high end Blackberry bold. The smartphone is going to ship to two companies, Sprint Nextel and Verizon. These two companies are the largest wireless carriers which run a CDMA network mentioned in the RIM statement. Carriers which operate GSM networks currently are able to carry the Blackberry Bold.
The two main types of mobile technology are both GSM and CDMA and are used by the wireless carriers throughout the world. CDMA actually lost the global dominance battle to GSM but it still manages to maintain a really strong position within certain markets.
RIM, operated out of Waterloo, Ontario Canada, is now also taking the new 3G version of the Blackberry Pearl out of the box. This is the smallest of the smartphones that are within the product range of the Blackberries. The new GSM release will lead to customers being able to get faster data downloads on the newer 3G networks.
The way the analysts are looking at it is that the software improvements being made will be able to allow RIM to get into a more competitive edge against the iPhone from Apple as well as the Droid and all of the other smartphones that are taking little bites out of the market share of RIM and their devices.
Some friendly enhancements for the consumer like putting in very powerful cameras in the phone as well as making the display a lot easier to navigate are also in the offerings. RIM states that you’ll be seeing a lot of powerful extensions coming from them. They also mention that you’re not going to have to be too patient so we can look forward to some things coming very soon.
The RIM application store, which admittedly does fall a little short of the offerings that Apple has, is really growing at a rapid pace as it’s been doubling multiple times hitting about a million per day now.
Also announced was that there is going to be an upgraded version of their mobile voice system technology. What this does is it allows for a seamless integration of the customer’s Blackberry and the office landline. The current technology will allow the devices to work together as one and the user can then route all of their outgoing calls through their office landline.
With the latest upgrade the mobile voice system will allow the user to both receive and make their phone calls from the Blackberry device through a Wi-Fi connection.
