Survey reveals BlackBerry on top of Palm: 73 percent choose RIM

Oh it seems that things are on a downward slope for Palm according to a survey, PALM were the ones that began the smartphone revolution and we know that and with bringing in a new range of stunning corporate handsets for fleets, but it now seems that their market share has plummeted thanks to enterprise competitor Research In Motion (RIM) and their BlackBerry cell phones.

The best and lucrative cell for the corporate customer base is the Palm Treo and of course is a status symbol amongst the business suits and this is what makes the latest survey from Change Wave extremely disturbing.

The Change Wave has given a number of RIM BlackBerry and Palm handsets, they have not disclosed their research methods that corporations use in their workforce, and so what does this mean? Well the research actually gives the bigger picture that the corporate sector has indeed been purchasing larger quantities of BlackBerry smartphones while Palm’s share continued to slip away.

Palm saw their enterprise smartphones take 28% of those companies surveyed in February 07 and a year later Palm has shrunk to 18% which is pretty bad on the scale of things, 59% of companies chose RIM BlackBerry cell phones and a staggering % choosing the BlackBerry in February 08.
