If people would only read the comments... following these analyst's articles they would see how the real people (consumers) actually feel about Blackberry. Generally people comment positively, countering the bashing/negative news although sometimes overly positive or nebulous/unfounded "reporting" is also countered in the comments.
I get just as much from these comments as from the articles myself. This follows with actual Blackberry phone reviews from different suppliers as well.
I still feel that you really can't buy this kind of promotion and media coverage even with the negative spin, based much more on fiction more than fact, and that it can be shifted to a very beneficial angle for Blackberry in the weeks to come.
I personally hope the analysts don't get scared away and keep writing good or bad with the real facts riding their heels in our favour. Basically I believe "there is no such thing as bad news" and "any publicity is better than no publicity".
Just my take, but in this case "if you get a lemon, you're best off to use it and sell the lemonade". At least that is the tactic I would use... and I really hope BB/bbry can pull this off too!
GLTA and keep cool, things might even get a bit worse before they get much, much better!
