Everyone is talking about how Windows Mobile is will compete and be a BlackBerry killer.

I think exactly the opposite is true for several reasons.

BlackBerry is here to stay!

Read more to find out why.

1. Windows Mobile is making the idea of have a smart-phone more commonplace.  Once smart phone are ubiquitous sales of BlackBerry devices and other smart phones will explode.
2. Anyone who has used a BlackBerry knows how perfect it is.  If they try Windows Mobile they will go back to BlackBerry.  Until Windows Mobile gets it right - that may be a while.
3. Security - BlackBerry AES encryption is second to none.
4. Push Technology - Windows Mobile is not push - BlackBerry is.  Really it is pull to push - this is a clumsy approach.
5. Focus on what is important - Windows Mobile just try to do too much.

But the bottom line is that it is not a zero sum game.  If Widows Mobile is successful it will not be at the expense of BlackBerry.  Quite the contrary - if Windows Mobile does well BlackBerry will also experience massive growth.

Let me know what you think.

I Like your blog, although it is preaching the exact opposite of what we are doing Emoticon

Can I persuade you in having a demo of our Mobile CRM solution based on Windows Mobile and Dynamics CRM and discuss with you what we have done, so that we can get a better understanding of what the market is looking for from a totaly different angel?

If so, please contact me at vanhoof_at_cwrmobility.com
