Let me just say that the U.S. will not ban imports of RIM devices, except under the most extreme circumstances. There’s probably something to Motorola’s case against RIM, but considering the BlackBerry’s place in the U.S. business world, I think they’ll work something out. How else could it play out?

BlackBerry Magnum? I remember being excited about it in 2009, but it appears RIM has moved onto the Dakota. We’ll see if it can capitalize on the similarity to the Palm Treo.

Want to see a diagram of a BlackBerry model that I think will sell worse than the Pearl flip? It’s towards the bottom in News From The Wire. Only 12 keys? Even non-smartphone users are opting for full QWERTY these days.
