This probably wasn’t part of Steve Jobs’ neutralize-antennagate strategy…
The latest is from Research in Motion’s co-CEOs Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsille:
“Apple’s attempt to draw RIM into Apple’s self-made debacle is unacceptable. Apple’s claims about RIM products appear to be deliberate attempts to distort the public’s understanding of an antenna design issue and to deflect attention from Apple’s difficult situation,” they said.
And specifically addressing BlackBerry antenna design, they added: “RIM is a global leader in antenna design and has been successfully designing industry-leading wireless data products with efficient and effective radio performance for over 20 years. During that time, RIM has avoided designs like the one Apple used in the iPhone 4 and instead has used innovative designs which reduce the risk for dropped calls, especially in areas of lower coverage.

The difference is that RIM claims to have been making phones for 20 years. Even for the past 10, the blackberry has essentially been the same. When they tried something different, ie the blackberry storm, it flopped!!
The Iphone has only been around for 4 years. And it works. People LOVE the iPhone. Why change it if its working so well.
