THE BLOWS KEEP COMING for Research In Motion, maker of Black-Berry phones. One of its largest carrier partners, Verizon Wireless, has been touting competitive new iPhone 4 and Google Android devices. In the past year BlackBerry slipped from 75% of Verizon's smartphone sales to only 24%. Bank of America, Citigroup, Dell, JPMorgan and UBS have all said they're considering letting employees tote around phones other than Black-Berrys. In November AT&T halved the price of RIM's flagship Torch phone, less than three months after its launch. RIM's average phone price fell 9% in the most recently reported nine months, a time when the industry as a whole increased prices. In the last 12 months its shares have dropped 5% while the Nasdaq has been up 31%.
