Do we have to wait until July for the next BlackBerry?
In: Blackberry|Mobile|RIM
27 Mar 2008Man, RIM did quite well over the last years in establishing as THE provider of mobile enterprise services. I wish I would have invested some money into their stocks – they made 4000% in the last 5 Years. At the moment I think it would be the wrong time to buy. Not just because the [...]
