I do know you could need both at different times, but your argument sucks]]>Aug 19th 2008 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/.]]>Aug 19th 2008 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/Aug 19th 2008 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/Aug 19th 2008 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/Aug 20th 2008 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/Aug 19th 2008 4:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/
it was a sarcastic comment.

And yes, there are times when I am at home, with my iPod, too lazy to start up my laptop, when I sign on my messengers and surf for a couple of minutes.

And then, there are other times, when I am lost in the middle of nowhere, hoping I had a GPS. Having both in one device would be good, instead of choosing either. I dont really understand what the RIM designers thought when they made that move.

If they were worried about form factor, the failed anyways, because that isnt the smallest, or the thinnest phone in the market by a long shot!]]>Aug 19th 2008 6:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/Aug 19th 2008 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/Aug 19th 2008 10:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/Aug 19th 2008 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/Aug 19th 2008 9:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/Aug 19th 2008 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/Aug 19th 2008 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/
Saying something has been "outed" does not mean that it was "brought out into the open for all to see" / "is now available" / "is now out." Instead it means something entirely different. What you are saying is "they got rid of it" / "they threw it out...as in, to the trash."

Please stop saying something has been "outed" when it has been released. Honestly, I really like Engadget but I can't sit around and read something that reads like an 8th grader wrote it. Please write well!

Thank you, and thank you for the post!]]>Aug 19th 2008 10:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/
Outed is commonly used when describing disclosure of information one does not want revealed (sexual preference, political dirty laundry, electronics specs), which in this case seems appropriate. Ousted implies removal, expulsion, discarding of something. Perhaps you should read more carefully?]]>Aug 19th 2008 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/–verb (used with object)
