This is negative for RIM on two fronts, first is that the 9900 postponement comes at a time when corporations are beginning the move away from BlackBerry, and second – the Waterloo, Canada-based RIM is competing in a consumer market with the likes of the latest iPhone (also due in September) and Android.
