I Told You So

Did I tell you? Yes, I told you.

The Blackberry Storm sucks, despite their best efforts, which also sucked. (You're trying to take on the iPhone? Everyone else failed: why are you different?) Users can't make calls, and they couldn't even figure out to do anything else. Consumers are returning them in droves.

Now, RIM's Blackberry Bold is having problems. The production process was held up by testing errors, and the thing gets hotter than an old laptop battery.

This happens a lot in consumer goods, a la Mercedes and Palm: a product gets popular, models are rushed to market, and quality takes a nose dive.

Please go back to making cheap phones that are best suited as freebies for signing up with providers. The iPhone is the new king; you're just a wannabe serf.
