I don't care about eye candy, I just think that the BB OS is outdated. Hell, just update the browser and I'll be happy. Blackberries are great devices, but using the OS--which is still very good, don't get me wrong--just leaves me wanting more.]]>Jul 10th 2009 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/10/blackberry-onyx-with-optical-trackball-leaks-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/10/blackberry-onyx-with-optical-trackball-leaks-out/
Disclaimer: I own a 8310, a Bold and a Storm 9530 all on AT&T. I am just sick of the same stuff over and over from Rim.]]>Jul 10th 2009 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/10/blackberry-onyx-with-optical-trackball-leaks-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/10/blackberry-onyx-with-optical-trackball-leaks-out/Jul 10th 2009 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/10/blackberry-onyx-with-optical-trackball-leaks-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/10/blackberry-onyx-with-optical-trackball-leaks-out/
All in all, Blackberry and Apple both have great phones and I think its symptom of being near perfection. I don't know how else RIM or Apple would change their phone designs. Their design is almost flawless in execution with the way the phone's hardware works with its OS. ]]>Jul 10th 2009 2:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/10/blackberry-onyx-with-optical-trackball-leaks-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/10/blackberry-onyx-with-optical-trackball-leaks-out/
Why is it that with every BB post, I have to hear about how it's more of the same. Most companies in any field only do minor tweaks to successful products. It's called branding and building customer loyalty. You usually only see major restylings when a product fails, and even then they usually dump the old name for something else (like Samsung Omnia and the i8910).

In other words. Relax a bit. RIM makes Blackberries. Blackberries look like the picture above, so when you see one, you say, "Hey, that's a Blackberry." They're making decent updates to successful products (whether they provide these updates in a timely fashion is another story). But maybe you're the type of person that complains when they recognize a Corvette as it drives down the street.]]>Jul 10th 2009 3:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/10/blackberry-onyx-with-optical-trackball-leaks-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/10/blackberry-onyx-with-optical-trackball-leaks-out/
I dont mind getting low randed for having my opinion and voicing it, I am not saying rim has to do a drastic change, but every phone is the exact same stlying. The Curve and the Pearl are big sellers for rim, I assume so big they figure they can sell them somemore before updating them. I love the 8900 but it needs to be 3G that is all I am really saying.

They (RIM) really need to do more on the OS too. OS 5 is really 4.7.5 or 4.8 IMO.]]>Jul 10th 2009 5:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/10/blackberry-onyx-with-optical-trackball-leaks-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/10/blackberry-onyx-with-optical-trackball-leaks-out/Jul 10th 2009 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/10/blackberry-onyx-with-optical-trackball-leaks-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/10/blackberry-onyx-with-optical-trackball-leaks-out/

The ONLY reason I did not get a bold was the fact the trackball was no longer a user replacable part

I went through 4 on my 8800

now with this optical trackball.

looks like blackberry is back on list next upgrade, yay

Right now I'm rocking an all black bezel, black side buttons and a black trackball to complete the "stealth" look.]]>Jul 10th 2009 4:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/10/blackberry-onyx-with-optical-trackball-leaks-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/10/blackberry-onyx-with-optical-trackball-leaks-out/Jul 11th 2009 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/10/blackberry-onyx-with-optical-trackball-leaks-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/10/blackberry-onyx-with-optical-trackball-leaks-out/Jul 10th 2009 5:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/10/blackberry-onyx-with-optical-trackball-leaks-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/10/blackberry-onyx-with-optical-trackball-leaks-out/Jul 10th 2009 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/10/blackberry-onyx-with-optical-trackball-leaks-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/10/blackberry-onyx-with-optical-trackball-leaks-out/Jul 11th 2009 1:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/10/blackberry-onyx-with-optical-trackball-leaks-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/10/blackberry-onyx-with-optical-trackball-leaks-out/Jul 13th 2009 12:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/10/blackberry-onyx-with-optical-trackball-leaks-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/10/blackberry-onyx-with-optical-trackball-leaks-out/Sep 20th 2009 12:04AM
