11. RIM INTERNAL What the Analysts are Saying so far… “In our view there are two distinct segments in the smartphone market: multimedia and messaging. The iPhone has a strong multimedia suite that will appeal to consumers, but we believe RIM’s BlackBerry smartphones with hardware keyboards have superior messaging (secure email) features targeted at prosumers and enterprises.” Merrill Lynch January 10, 2007

12. RIM INTERNAL What the Analysts are Saying so far… “iPhone is impressive…but faces some big challenges.” “The device is expensive (US$499-US$599), has only one carrier partner in the U.S., faces potential battery life limitations, and is likely taxing on carrier networks in terms of bandwidth consumption.” “We do not see the iPhone taking meaningful share from BlackBerry in the mobile phone market.” Scotia Capital January 10, 2007

13. RIM INTERNAL What the Analysts are Saying so far… “I think that anyone who uses the iPhone in its first generation – for critical business – is crazy.” “Today’s high-end phones – BlackBerry, Treo, the many Nokias, etc. – have gone through years and years of development to get to where they are. There are SO MANY things that can go wrong in a phone.” “…it’s a tough, tough job to create a phone that’s both sophisticated and reliable, and all the handset vendors wear the scars of that challenge.” Alan Reiter Wireless Internet & Mobile Computing January 10, 2007
