RE: Another wannabe famous at any cost analcyst This doesn't pass the smell test. If this analyst is correct, RIM is planning to unveil the QWERTY on January 30th, and then wait a full five months before selling it. I have a hard time believing even the old RIM (of the infamous half-baked Playbook launch) would be that stupid, let alone the new RIM under Heins.
Conspicuously absent from this article is any justification for the statements. Did Savitz verify the analysts sources, or merely happily regurgitate their claims?
I can tell you one thing, if this is true, I'd sell immediately. May-June for the QWERTY is way too late. My expectation is the full touch in Febuary, followed by the QWERTY a few weeks later in March. Anything less would be a disappointment.
