Somebody mentioned the lack of touch screen up top, and I think that RIM made the correct decision for the market. One handed use is a decent possibility. The smudged screen happens on both devices.

3G. Sigh. Maybe in July.]]>May 6th 2008 4:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/

I seriously doubt that it needs "black and white icons and not color ones" to speed up it's UI with that kind of power under the hood.

Not that color vs. B&W makes a damn bit of difference anyways...keep your "childish" comments to yourself next time.]]>May 12th 2008 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/May 6th 2008 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/May 6th 2008 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/May 6th 2008 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/May 6th 2008 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/May 6th 2008 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/May 6th 2008 7:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/May 6th 2008 8:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/May 6th 2008 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/What follows is a rant of personal oppinions. So skip ahead, if you don't want to read something negative.
But I'm still right, though.

From the user interface perspective, they still do about everything wrong you can do wrong.

When I see him moving a little mouse cursor over the badly rendered mobile web page of youtube with the little trackball, I just have to laugh.

I mean, how messed and stubborn do you have to be to keep up with crap like this? If you don't critizise this they will never make it better.

The User interface is a total catastrophe. And it's not a next gen phone: there's nothing really new but some tech specs.
It's the user interface what's a lot more important than all those features.
Who needs those if it's crap to use?

Who needs 3G if pages still load that slow and look that shitty and are that shitty to navigate.
I mean: come on. It's a pain in the ass to browse with those things.
T e r r i b l e.
And look at the email interface: Are you kidding me?
This is what you give us in 2008: an email client that's little more than a text mode app from early cell phones. It's about as good as the client on the first Moto Razr - just a little better, maybe ;)

And instead of crying out loud about this I only hear you crying tears of joy about some new icons and some hardware upgrades, which nobody really needs, except people with a hardware fetish ... which makes this good as porn for them, apparently.

Every since the first BB it's always been the same: Badly designed, clumsy things, which do what they should do in the most clums and complicated way imagenable.
And yet they are sold, because of the lack of alternatives and hordes of nerds - apparently - which bombard people with "feature lists" and "spec lists", which is as though this stuff makes any difference in the usage or for about 90% of the users.
But the store guy tells them so.

From now on, I'm gonna call the iPhone JesusPhone.
Because when I look around and see what mid-age stuff you have to keep up with, it really looks like the coming of the messiah.

And dare you still tell anyone that the iPhone doesn't work for business people. All the user phones instead don't work for PEOPLE.

Don't flame me: get a head.]]>May 8th 2008 6:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/
Hopefully the coming SDK and firmware update in June will fix all these shortcomings, but as of now, BB is WAY better for business.]]>May 8th 2008 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/Jun 11th 2008 6:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/May 12th 2008 9:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-9000-gets-a-very-early-review/
So badly done.

"Apparently the keyboard is better than the 8800 series, the OS4.6 is smooth, fast and pretty, and the 480 x 320 LCD is "awesome.""

What shit.

Blackberry's are good, but please don't try and fondel it too much .... it's jus't a phone

"the logo alone brought a tear to his eye"

This guy is worse the Apple Fanboys.

I personally do not own an IPhone but my brother does and he loves it. I on the other hand think is a great 'fun' phone but it is NOWHERE close to being the business phone that my BB Curve is.

For all of the great things that the IPhone does and yes the screen and web-browsing are awesome... the lack of video and instant messaging capabilites, along with several applications that most serious business people need is mind boggling.

Is the Curve perfect? No. But please don't think us all idiots whilst you're praying to the Apple Gods by suggesting that your phone is perfect and NOBODY else could possibly like anything else.

Ever heard the phrase 'to each his own?'

I like my BB... and will probably 'upgrade' to the Bold based on everything I'm reading... but then again there are certain things in regards to the IPhone and the Instinct and the Dare that I like as well.

I've personally never seen a perfect phone before.. ever.

But my BB Curve does just about everything I want and need it to do... and it does it better than the IPhone does.

And oh.. to answer the previous posters question... the Bold is supposed to come out on all the networks... allegedly AT&T first... then TMobile and Verizon after... and I would assume Sprint as well.]]>Aug 3rd 2008 10:24AM
