Apple, on the other hand, is going to have serious competition in the years ahead from Android.
In any case, it is neat to see the market shifting so dramatically in such a relatively short period of time. #smartphonemarketshare

My dissatisfaction with BB led me to use a Korean made WinMo phone and it's surprisingly good (for business aplications, and a few other things).... compared to RIM.... what nightmare they were. #smartphonemarketshare

1. Apple made it seem their device locally encrypted information and never told anyone that it did not.
2. Apple lied to Exchange Servers saying it was locally encrypting the data when it was not.
(FYI: These two lies put corporations in litigation peril since they are held to confidentiality agreements and encryption standards, such as national HIPAA regulations. In other words - major problem.)
3. Apple released a patch that was an insignificant fix for problems that "fixed" this little white lie.
4. That "fix" that was not communicated broke all earlier iPhones from being able to connect to properly configured Exchange 2007 servers.
5. Tech departments from all over the world received countless trouble tickets saying their iPhones no longer worked and blamed it on the corporation, not their beloved company in Cupertino.
6. After getting the facts, companies everywhere started denying access to email data (for obvious reasons) to any iPhone devices, many setting it as company policy.
Oh, sure, there are other problems, too - like being able to control what functions of the iPhone are available to staff - being able to remotely destory the data (corporate necessity), being able to push out applications to each device, etc and so on.
I could go on, but you get the idea.. The iPhone is not a corporate device. Not yet, at least, and given the track record, probably not for a long time. #smartphonemarketshare

I've always held that physical keyboard is better than virtual but thats never been because of the browser. #blackberrywebkit

Personally I'm not a big fan of navigating a webpage with a trackball either but even then thats never been part of the keyboard/no keyboard debate that I've ever experienced. That debate usually falls to the tactile nature of a physical keyboard and the benefits there of as opposed to a virtual one.
@jamesdelacroixv: Browsing on anything is better then browsing on a blackberry. Thats not really a question (after all thats why they wrote the article). But the physical/virtual nature of a keyboard has nothing to do with it. If anything I'd say that the virtual keyboard makes it worse since you lose so much screen space to the keyboard you don't always know what field your in. #blackberrywebkit

Besides, with my man-sized hands, virtual keyboards that work well are much better than the finger hopscotch I do on the "real thing." #blackberrywebkit

Plus generally speaking physical keyboards are preferred over virtual for people with larger hands. You are defiantly the first I've ever seen say that. #blackberrywebkit

Imo the Storm isnt for business, cause if you have to type 100 emails, notes, memos a day on this thing you'd wish you'd stuck with a real keyboard....as I do!
Storm would be fine for a general purpose phone but come Feb I'm getting a BB with a keyboard! #blackberrystorm2

Even though this is a nit picky comment, the focus appears to be on the device as a consumer product competing against the iPhone and Droid. The problem with that is that the Storm 2 will primarily sell to businesses. I do not believe there is a competing business touchscreen product out there. The iPhone gave the middle finger salute to businesses with their Exchange mess. The Pre and Droid have not made their systems ideal for business customers and do not offer a small percentage of what a BES unit and BlackBerry device can for securing the phone. Unless I am missing something, the Storm 2 is the only game in town.
My comment is nit picky (if you hadn't picked this up, which I am sure you did) because those other devices are the only thing to compare it to, and certainly BlackBerry needs to be moving further in getting an iPhone OS quality device. All of the issues you mentioned need to be fixed. But, if I am shopping for a touch screen device for folks at my office, there appears to be only one choice at the moment. #blackberrystorm2

But the Storm1 came out around Thanksgiving last year so you would still have to wait another month from now. The Droid will be out and about by then though. #blackberrystorm2

This is what I think of when I hear "Four piezo-electric buttons that live under the screen". How accurate is this? #blackberrystorm2

If you have the original , I highly recommend the new software update #blackberrystorm2
