Joint statement from RIM Co-CEOs in response to comments by Apple

Hot topic Apple’s iphone 4 has been blasted by other smart phone manufacturers who have been releasing statements slamming Apple. RIM’s Co-CEO’s responded to misleading statements from Apple in a press release:


Apple’s attempt to draw RIM into Apple’s self-made debacle is unacceptable. Apple’s claims about RIM products appear to be deliberate attempts to distort the public’s understanding of an antenna design issue and to deflect attention from Apple’s difficult situation. RIM is a global leader in antenna design and has been successfully designing industry-leading wireless data products with efficient and effective radio performance for over 20 years. During that time, RIM has avoided designs like the one Apple used in the iPhone 4 and instead has used innovative designs which reduce the risk for dropped calls, especially in areas of lower coverage.

One thing is for certain, RIM’s customers don’t need to use a case for their BlackBerry® smartphone to maintain proper connectivity. Apple clearly made certain design decisions and it should take responsibility for these decisions rather than trying to draw RIM and others into a situation that relates specifically to Apple.

The white iphone4 has now been pushed back to December 2010, just in time for a White Christmas.
