RIM reportedly delays 3G Blackberry to avoid next-gen iPhone

Apparently Research In Motion (RIM) has delayed the launch of the 3G capable BlackBerry 8900 so it doesn’t run along side the launch of the next-generation iPhone.  The Reg reports this isn’t the only reason why it has been delayed.  Reports say that the company’s internal staff has complained about the products technical glitches and will delay its release from this June to August.  The BlackBerry 8900 is supposed to be the first 3G BlackBerry to appear on the AT&T network here in the United States.  Is delaying it past the iPhone’s release date a good idea?  Time will tell.
