Go myself a new Blackberry, it’s the 9780, a huge, huge, improvement on my old 5120 (?, not sure, I’ve recycled it, so I can’t check. Marketing tip: If a customer can’t figure out what kind of phone they have, you are doing it wrong.)

But it leads me to one of the reasons RIM is getting it’s ass kicked in the market. The phone is awesome, much better for me than it’s better selling alternative, like Android and the iPhone, but it’s getting pwned in the market, why….

RIM don’t market to it’s strengths, it’s way, way better at email that any of it’s competitors, but their ads focus on stuff like Facebook, hell, a Nokia can do Facebook, it’s not a big deal. Show us it’s nicely designed keyboard, instant email, the flashing red light, even the latest iPhone won’t actually let you know you’ve had an email if you’ve been away from your desk when it happened.
