Its pretty clear that the Smartphone world is more competitive than ever before. RIM is a company that created phenominal corporate-centric devices that pretty much gained a huge chunk of the consumer market by accident. There was and still is something about these BlackBerry devices that’s so addictive.

From time to time, over the past couple of years, it seemed like RIM didn’t really feel the sense of developmental urgency that clearly existed in the Smartphone game. In my opinion RIM was moseying along, banking on the ‘CrackBerry’ addiction to spread and gain market share.

Over the past few months, seeing RIM’s plans, leaked or official, it shows they mean business. With many new devices on the horizon, the coming of BlackBerry 6, Beta Zone, App World 2.0, BlackBerry Shield, BMW ConnectedDrive, and so on, its pretty clear that RIM is going to hold down their spot. Read on down to see what you may have missed this week in BlackBerry at TheCellularGuru.
