Sad Sad Day for PALM,RIMM

Quote from S2007S:

The cellphones in the U.S. are about 2 years behind what they have in Japan. This phone is being extremely OVER HYPED at this point, im bullish on AAPL but I think there is just too much talk going on about this phone.


I was listening to some show and the mentioned battery life being approx 5 hours, I dont think thats enough. IF your going to develop something this big give it at least a 7-10 hours of battery life. Also the networks in the US are still way behind, still having problems rolling out 3G.

I feel as if I've already done this in another thread, but I just want to correct your misconception that apple's phone only has 5 hour battery LIFE. In fact, the 5 hours is of talk/video/browsing/etc. time. The audio playback time is SIXTEEN (caps for emphasis) hours. The standby time wasn't released, but I assume it is something much, much, muuch longer than 16 hours.

Finally, if you go on the PALM website and look up their newest Treo, the 680 I believe, it only has 4 hours of talk time. an hour less than the iPhone. Compare the screens and the quality of the picture - I could be wrong, but I feel apple's battery blows everything else away.

Yeah, 5 hours of "Talk Time" is as good as anything else out there. I'm sure on standby it's something like 3 days. No different than anything else out right now.
 
Well now if I am an idiot it is because I left too much money on the table. In at 133.69 out at 135.61. Now looking to get back in again.
 
we are doing the same here, see rimm low 129-131 high 136-38
it should stay in this range until the announcement of the new blackberry shortly.
we are not holding our long positions overnight at this price for safety but are trying to max our op's on each dollar or two moves.
great premiums being offered with options
personally I believe rimm has to test 90-100 area to continue on its rally.
good luck with your trades.

I really wanted to swing trade this to 138. I really think it can make it there in the next couple of days so I will keep my buy at 133.95 through today, although you are worrying me a little.

we are more comfortable starting to scale into a short than holding a long if we are going to hold it overnight
we enter long positions 30dollar area and see with current news a good reason for the stock to test supports. I would personally only hold on a long position when the stock retest 90-100dollar area. I also am not saying it will happen tomorrow.
rimm will announce new blackberry anytime now so that is the only reason we even play the stock long in this range. Our longs are exited faster than our shorts.
good luck
