RIM Reports Q1 Fiscal 2011: Up In Every Category… Just Not Up Enough

Research in Motion Logo

One might think that revenue growth of over 24% to $4.24 billion, a 41% earnings per share increase to $1.38, an increase in device shipments of over 43% to 11.2 billion, and 4.9 million net new subscribers taking the total subscriber base up 60% quarter over quarter to 46 million, would actually be considered a pretty darn good quarter.  A pretty darn good quarter for this would have been if it weren’t for the pesky analysts that thought a pretty darn good good quarter was going to be most awesome and outstanding quarter.

Research in Motion just missed the street’s expectations by a little, however, they missed by a little in most every category.  RIM says that this is mostly due to the later than expected releases of the BlackBerry Pearl 3G and BlackBerry Bold 9650.  That actually sounds plausible…  RIM’s stock (RIMM) is down close to 2% in after-hours.  I am anxious to see what the second half of 2010 holds for RIM.

Some Verizon Stores Selling The BlackBerry Bold 9650 Early

Verizon Store

As many of you know, the BlackBerry Bold 9650 went on sale yesterday on Verizon’s website and is supposed to be available in stores starting next Thursday, June 10th.  Rumor has it, however, that some Verizon Stores have already to sell the devices that they have in stock.

Android And BlackBerry Web Share Up In February… iPhone, Not So Much

Quantcast Feb. Web OS Share

According to data just released by analytics firm Quantcast, Android and BlackBerry mobile web consumption in the month of February was up while that of the iPhone was down slightly.

Android’s share of North American mobile web consumption was up 8.3% from January 2010, to 15.2% of total mobile web consumption for the month of February. Apple’s iPhone OS share, which so far has seemed untouchable, dropped 3.2% from January to February 2010, while the share for RIM OS (Blackberry) grew 13.2% in that period, to 9.2%.

I wouldn’t start dropping stock in Apple (because of this news alone) as the results are pretty much expected and make sense.  The iPhone owns such a large part of the total market that any company which does something positive makes gains on Apple.

What will be really interesting to see  is this chart the month after the new BlackBerry Browser is released.

Verizon to Discontinue the Storm 9530, Curve 8330, 8830 and Pearl Flip 8230

There’s a semi-confirmed rumor that Verizon will discontinue the Storm 9530, Curve 8330, 8830 and Pearl Flip 8230. We’ve heard that the Storm is on its way out, but its news to see the Curve 8330 (America’s most popular smartphone), and the Pearl Flip, a form factor that was never really given a chance, are both gone as well. We all knew that these devices would be on their way out eventually, as carriers update their stock with the latest devices.
Are you sad to see any of these go?
