Peter Misek, Senior Technology Analyst at Canaccord Adams said “These are awesome numbers,” (there’s tax to add back to the eps making it a stronger number than it appears).
Misek then added, “The sub-guidance is blockbuster – well above anybody’s expectations.”
"Total Blackberry subscriber base is at 7 million. By the end of next year RIMM could approach 14 million – well above expectations. They’re absolutely crushing the competition.”
