So, yeah, I suspect any 83xx or 89xx device is counted in their "Curve" numbers and the 85xx's will be included next time. Smart move on RIM's marketing and branding part giving so many vastly different devices the same "name". And yeah, Pearl that high? WTFO? Also likely includes Pearl Flip but I can't see how its sales would be helping a lot! I've yet to see anyone with one but I guess "Pearl" must remain highly popular (especially with the younger crowd for whom a full QWERTY is "too bulky"). Hey, 4 of the Top 6 aint bad! No wonder combined RIM and Apple have what 85% of USA smartphone revenues!!! From what I’ve read around the blogs, I get the impression their numbers mean ANY device with the “Curve” moniker.

The Curve is dirt cheap. Consumers are price-conscious. I don’t see the surprise. The Curve is dirt cheap. Consumers are price-conscious.
