Kinda hard to notice a QWERTY keyboard that takes up half the real estate on the front of your phone. Also, RIM is developing a touch screen BB. Why would they do that if touch screens have no place in business?

I guess I never understood the whole tactile keyboard argument anyway. The size of the keyboard on Blackberries is the second most complained about feature on RIM devices, and many complain of mis-typing because the keys are too small. I could see how a virtual keyboard could be hard to use for a small percentage of people (big fingers and long fingernails), but these same people would also have a hard time typing on a Blackberry. Besides, I have found the landscape keyboard on the iPhone to be easier to use (except when driving, which shouldn't be done anyway) than any other keyboard on any other phone. I would like to see Apple apply the landscape keyboard to more of its apps, and I think they will. It looks like RIM improved the keyboard on the 9000, but they had to make some sacrifices in the process. Just look how big it is.

The 9000 is a very nice device with a lot of functionality, but I believe that more people will choose the iPhone over this device specifically (RIM will still more double or triple Apple in total market share).

The iPhone, as a single device, has captured over 9% of the market. I would like to see RIM say that about any one of their devices. So, yeah, that is basically what I meant when I said the iPhone was gonna kick the shit out of this thing.

activesync cannot smell bes unless u use microsoft's new device control server... uhhhh bes.

so there u have it folks.
its a wrap!

but again i say that the iphone is the best consumer device out there. i wouldnt even put the BB second. because u never use more than 30% of what the device can do.

but its the winner on the enterprise and government level. and thats why they still use it.

"none of the people I have ever asked about the iphone have any interest in it at all....Also, you are the biggest fanboy ever."

Heh, the irony.

Because the current iPhone looks easier to use than this thing and the new iPhone will have many of the same features as the 9000 (and possibly more). Plus the new iPhone will be smaller than the 9000 with a bigger screen. Just an opinion dude, no need to get all worked up and defensive.

Your dad works in a big office type place, and no one there has any interest in the iPhone? Well, then, I guess you're right. I'm gonna give Stevo a call and tell him to put the whole iPhone thing on hold since we have this new groundbreaking research to consider. Seriously though, you must have been offended by the Avril comment?

"A touch screen has no place in the business world"? Really? Weird that RIM would be developing a touchscreen BB when all of their customers are important business people who work at your dad's big office type place.

Finally, I would argue that the guy who paid $800+ for this thing and has a website called crackberry.com would be considered a bigger BB fanboy than me an Apple fanboy.

Apple is going to bust that crackhouse wide open. There's a new sheriff in town!

I might drop my iPhone for the Blackberry 9000 and return back to that good old QWERTY keyboard again.

And just get a iPod Touch.

Let's see if the 3G iPhone can win me back.
