Research In Motion (RIMM) logoResearch In Motion (RIMM) recently announced the fiscal year Q4 2011 earnings, in which it gave a disappointing revenue outlook for FY Q1 2012 quarter. Its shares tumbled by 10% in the after-market hours after the announcement and opened around these levels Friday morning. RIM, which competes with Apple (AAPL), Nokia (NOK) and Motorola Mobility (MMI) in the smartphone market, stands to lose further ground in the near-term as suggested by the weak outlook. However, we still believe there is value for long term holders of the stock despite the disappointing guidance.

We have updated our price estimate for RIM stock to $69.59, which is about 25% higher than market price.

Research In Motion (RIMM) logoThe fast moving world of investing can turn on a dime, especially if you own technology stocks. Research In Motion (RIMM) was a smartphone darling. But then came the iPhone and now the iPad. Then we have Google's (GOOG) Android following on Apple's (AAPL) heels.

RIM suddenly woke up a found that it had fallen off its perch. Now the company is scrambling to do catch up. BlackBerry is losing North American market share and the company expects to ship only 13.5 to 14.5 million Blackberry's this quarter, down from 14.9 million last quarter, according to Reuters.

Research In Motion (RIMM) logoThe shares of Research In Motion (RIMM), which I first wrote about on May 5, 2009, at a price of $77.07, remain a stock that's decidedly not for the squeamish.
RIM's roller-coaster rebound continued during the winter, with the stock rising from $61 to test $70 resistance, before retreating back to $62.

RIM's 2011 revenue will likely jump 35% to 40% on strong sales of BlackBerry wireless email devices -- a device that has become the standard in large corporations and public institutions, and that is gaining traction in the consumer segment. Unit sales and subscriber growth remain adequate, but average selling prices are likely to continue trend lower amid increased competition. Revenue from tablets also should begin to make their presence felt in 2011. In 2010, Research's revenue surged 35%.

Microsoft (MSFT) and Nokia (NOK) recently announced a strategic partnership in which Nokia will adopt Windows Phone 7 as the main operating system for its smart phones. Microsoft competes with other tech bellwethers like Google (GOOG), Research In Motion (RIMM) and Apple (AAPL) that make smart phones and tablets, as well as the corresponding operating systems for mobile phones and tablet devices.

We believe the Nokia deal presents upside for Microsoft, as it provides an opportunity to gain share in both the smart phone operating system market and the search advertising market by leveraging Nokia's large global presence.

The shares of Research In Motion Limited (RIMM), which I first wrote about on May 5, 2009, at a price of $77.07, rebounded last autumn, rising to about $62 from $42, following a 2010 swoon that came within a whisker of the $42 sell/stop loss.

Look for RIMM's 2011 revenue to jump 35% to 40% on strong sales of BlackBerry wireless e-mail devices -- a device that has become the standard in large corporations/public institutions, and that has started to gain traction in the consumer segment. Unit sales and subscriber growth remain adequate, but average selling prices are likely to continue to trend lower amid increased competition.

Starbucks (SBUX)It's not enough to be on every metropolitan street corner; now Starbucks (SBUX) is trying to be even bigger (in one sense of the word) -- and faster, too. Thirsty folks longing for a Big Gulp­-style coffee beverage are in luck as the Seattle-based coffee chain is set to roll out its new "Trenta" size for iced drinks.

The new size, seven ounces bigger than the Venti, will be 31 ounces. Trenta, by the way, means "thirty" in Italian. It's also a valley in Slovenia and a small town in the Italian province of Cosenza. This new size trumps Dunkin Donuts, which offers its iced beverages in 24-ounce serving sizes.

Research In Motion (RIMM) logoThursday, Research In Motion Limited (RIMM) announced that its quarterly earnings came in at $1.46 per share, compared to 83 cents per share a year ago. Not only did the results top those from a year ago, but the results topped analysts' expectations for $1.36 per share.

Turning to revenue, RIM raked in $4.62 billion, 31% better than a year ago as well as better than estimates for $4.49 billion.

During the quarter, the company shipped 12.1 million smartphone units and added 4.5 million new subscribers. While the new subscribers came in short of the expected 5 million, the 12.1 million shipped units was better than the forecast 11.8 million.

Nokia (NOK), the world's largest manufacturer of cell phones, has been hit hard over the past year as Google (GOOG) and Apple (AAPL) ramped up market share in the market for mobile devices. The company, which has a 40% share of the world's cell phone market, has been struggling to develop a smartphone that will let it compete not only with the Android operating system, but also with the iPhone and the BlackBerry, by Research In Motion (RIMM).

While Nokia fumbled, the stock, which traded at more than $15 per share in April, has fallen about 38% and now trades around $9.50.

But things could be about to turn around.

BlackBerry TorchPCWorld reported that Research In Motion Limited (RIMM) is cutting the price for its new BlackBerry Torch, lowering the new handset's price to $99 from $199.

This is not a good sign for the telecommunications company, as it indicates that the latest iteration of its CrackBerry device is already lagging behind its competitors mere weeks into its existence. Complaints abound about the Torch, which some say was basically just like older versions and will not be enough to pull other smartphone users from their devices.

Research In Motion (RIMM) on Tuesday introduced its new smartphone -- the BlackBerry Torch 9800. The company's latest phone will feature both a touch screen and a slide-out keyboard. RIMM hopes that the Torch will help it reclaim its earlier importance in the smart-phone market.

The Canadian company has lost a great deal of the cell phone market share to competitors Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG) -- both of which have introduced wildly popular cellular devices. The Torch will be available on August 12.

BlackBerryFirst things first, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia are not banning the BlackBerry device produced by Research in Motion Limited (RIMM). What is being suspended is BlackBerry mobile services like e-mail and text messaging. The supposed ban will start in October.

This ban stems from a dispute between the UAE and RIM concerning RIM's encrypted data system. The system makes government monitoring of data more difficult. The problem for RIM is that such a move could be followed by other countries in the region, as Kuwait and Bahrain have also raised concerns over the data encryption.

There are also rumors swirling that a new handset with a slide-out keypad will be introduced. It is these rumors that have the stock trading higher.

Research in Motion (RIMM) BlackBerryResearch in Motion (RIMM) shareholders may be in for a bumpy Friday after the company fell short of sales estimates in its Thursday evening earnings report. But first, the good news. Fiscal first-quarter profit rose almost 20% to $769 million, or $1.38 per share, up from $643 million ($1.12) in the year-ago period. Analysts were targeting per-share earnings of $1.34.

Quarterly revenue, however, rose 24% to $4.24 billion, falling short of the $4.35 billion expected by analysts. While the BlackBerry smart phone remains a top choice, especially among business men and women, competition is closing in from Apple's(AAPL) iPhone, in all of its incarnations, as well as Motorola's (MOT) Droid. And the new BlackBerry models just don't seem to be coming to market as quickly as its rivals. While increased competition is no fun, the number of smart phone users globally is actually increasing -- and its a market that is still largely untapped (hard to believe if you live in America).

Nokia Corp. (NOK) used to be the dominant player in the cell phone industry. But thanks to smartphone manufacturers like Apple (AAPL), HTC and others, Nokia is losing market share, and its stock price is plunging.

Now, just in case you are thinking that Nokia looks like a good value play, take a look at what analysts are saying.

Research in Motion RIMM logoAccording to the Wall Street Journal, Canadian firm Research in Motion Limited (RIMM) is preparing new devices and software to compete with Apple's (AAPL) iPhone and iPad. RIM's offering reportedly has a slide-out keyboard and a touch screen and works much like the iPhone as far as swiping through screens and expanding images by touch. In addition, the communications firm is toying with a tablet as a larger-screen BlackBerry phone.

RIM will not comment on the Journal story, as it is considered rumor and speculation. However, should the firm's new products come to fruition they would be available around the end of the year. RIM continues as a leader in the global smartphone market, but it is losing ground in North America thanks to AAPL's iPhone and iPad.

Google (GOOG) and its Android operating system is giving Apple (AAPL) and its iconic iPhone a serious run for the money right now. Nearly twice as many consumers are using Android-based phones now compared with three months ago, according to a recent survey by ChangeWave Research.

That's no fun for Apple, of course, but survey results show that the tech giant is still holding its own with high customer satisfaction and a larger share of the market.
