RIM Signs Up With VoiceStream
from the not-sitting-still dept
As Handspring and Palm look to move into RIM's market, and startups like Good and Danger are salivating as well, RIM isn't about to sit still. They've signed a deal with VoiceStream so that VoiceStream will now sell BlackBerry devices. The plan is to eventually add voice communications to the BlackBerry as well. This is going to be quite a battle between all these companies. It seems like RIM is the first one to actually get a carrier agreement, but the device still isn't as functional as some of the others coming to market. I'd hope that RIM has been working on some cool new device behind the scenes that they're getting ready to introduce.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
