There's a rumor swirling that the expected June release of the 3G BlackBerry device on the AT&T network is going to slip a couple months. Apparently there are issues with the call quality. Potentially troubling for RIM is that Apple is also reportedly working towards a 3G version of the iPhone for release in the coming months as well. If the 3G iPhone is released along with v2 of the iPhone software which will support Exchange ActiveSync then there is a decent chance that a number of BlackBerry users will switch to the iPhone platform. It will have the email connectivity and speed, plus the cool factor of being an iPhone. I wouldn't want to type out long emails on that screen, but I'm clearly not the only person shopping for one of these devices.
