I've always believed that RIM's decision to implement email and other services in this way was a very poor choice that at some point would blow up in their faces. My evil half would say that is was a marketer's rather than an engineer's decision.
It's one thing when you are basically the only game in town (as RIM was a few years ago), now it's a completely different scenario. RIM already faces a complicated playground. More high-profile incidents like this one and suddenly people start losing confidence in the service... one thing leads to another... then suddenly you're target for acquisition by a huge corporation. Then things look up again but exactly one year later that huge corporation buries everything you did and you're a page in a history book :-) Good luck to them, Carlos On Wed, Oct 12, 2011 at 3:50 PM, Joe Abley <jab...@hopcount.ca> wrote: > > On 2011-10-12, at 13:05, Leigh Porter wrote: > >> Email on my iPhone is working fine.. ;-) > > The blackberry message service is centralised with a lot of processing > intelligence in the core.
