RIM executive hints at front facing camera on a 'Berry early in 2010

This article contains unofficial information.
As far as carriers are concerned, the anonymous RIM exec said that his company was fortunate to have great relationships with all of the networkers. He pointed out that in the U.S., it is a big advantage to offer the same device on more than just one carrier. When queried about AT&T in particular, he responded that the Canadian manufacturer has not had anywhere near the same amount of problems that Apple has had with the iPhone and the carrier. And speaking about the iPhone, the unnamed executive pointed out that the iPhone and a BlackBerry are two different phones with two different demographics. He added that in the last year, BlackBerry has had heavy growth in the 18-25 year old range.
The last topic was hardware and when asked what RIM would do if Apple were to add a front facing camera on the iPhone, he replied that some of the carriers that his company deals with can handle video conferencing. The anonymous employee said, "video conferencing is something that could completely change the mobile landscape and it is something we have been thinking about and working on for quite some time. You will start seeing something early next year”. Until we know the name and position of the anonymous person, this is not a bet that we would be inclined to take. Now if his initials are J.B., that might be another story.

"...His excuse, uh, comment was, "It’s tough when you are going up against a company operating one platform and perfecting a single piece of hardware”. Wonder which company he was thinking of?..." This statement is the reason why this website is clearly one-sided. And people wonder why the website gets bashed on for talking good about At&t and the iPhone. Thanks iPhonearena. You should seriously think about changing the name of your website because at least people will know what to expect.

Right? Its like, what is the story really about? Blackberry or iPhone...seems like you dont get a break from all the iPhone idiocy. the article should read "iPhone trumps Berry again in battle to have better equipment" "Excecutive Admits he just can't hang!" " Front facing camera seeming to be a possiblility if BlackBerry was as cool as iPhone"
