ZDNet Australia certainly seems to think so. According to the site, Global Bank HSBC is considering ridding themselves of their reliance on the BlackBerry, opting instead to transition their workers to iPhones.

In the latest chapter of “response to the onslaught of reader’s requests,” we’ve decided to put the Nokia E71 and the BlackBerry Bold head-to-head.

In keeping with the theme of delays, it looks like the sunset-colored BlackBerry Curve we told you about earlier this month has been pushed back a week. Why? We have no idea but lately it seems like “delay” and “BlackBerry” are becoming synonymous. Software delays, hardware delays; is the strength of the CAD compared to [...]
