Rich choice of devices

Battery Life?

• Usage of device dramatically affects battery life– WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS can have a big impact– Voice usage has most effect (1hr of calls = 25% battery life

typically)

• But my Blackberry lasts a week....– Typically this is the older devices not the latest

• We’ve always been feature rich – RIM are just adding those features now

• If Battery life is critical use a 2G or 2.5G device today

“… with RIM BlackBerry devices, reliability was poor and costs were prohibitive. The company then switched to devices based on the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system.

The move is saving 37 percent compared to RIM; e-mail availability is 18 percent higher, and the company can enable mobile access to its student portal, boosting industry competitiveness.”

What Analysts SayWhat Analysts Say

‘…but Gartner does not recommend relying heavily on these applications because of the proprietary nature of RIM's J2ME (Java 2 Platform. Micro Edition) and surrounding platform. “ Gartner 8700c Review, Nov 2005

"Windows Mobile is more suitable for complex applications with corporate features running on sophisticated handsets and PDAs.”

Gartner Whitepaper, Jun 2005

"Companies will have multiple types of devices and software. A small percentage of users will only want email though that is the majority now. Majority will be mobile workers who need applications. “

“RIM won’t dominate here:- .Net preferred over Java (usually) - User familiarity with the system - “Free” push email with other solutions (Microsoft)” Forrester Research, Jan 2006
