RIMM...

There earnings report is soon upon us... However, the future is a bit fuzzy.

The leaked specs/photos of their Blackberry 9000 was a disappointment to me. They were rumored to have a touchscreen and some other stuff. nope... the screen is still the same... and icons are basically changed. thatʻs it. itʻs still an awesome device. but i wonder about the competition... outside of Apple. Everyone is stepping up. RIMM has a huge business following that doesnt need the fancy stuff. However, their fastest growing segment are the consumers... Thatʻs where the battle lines have been drawn.

I do expect a good earnings report... the guidance is always key (aka sales pitch).

Employment report also ahead... and i obviously hope it knocks around the Market... to benefit my puts.
