Apple proved that you can get rid of buttons without loss of function, Hell! You get more function WITHOUT buttons because you can put whatever you want in their place!
When is the Blackberry going to start innovating?

This is supposed to be a premium phone, why don't they make it look and feel like one then?

I would never use a Blackberry (or an iPhone for that matter) to watch movies. Blackberrys (Blackberries?) aren't made to cater to the same crowd that buys iPhones. And aside from that, you have the Blackberry Storm if you want a keyboard-less Blackberry.]]>Jul 27th 2009 8:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/blackberry-curve-8520-gets-a-hands-on-photo-shoot/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/blackberry-curve-8520-gets-a-hands-on-photo-shoot/
1) Rushing to get it out for the holidays and launching with a buggy OS

and

2) INNOVATING. Yes I said it. Not everyone on the planet universally despises the surepress screen, I know several people who like it. RIM took a risk by creating a way to add a level of tactitlity on a touchsreen and while it wasn't a huge success, it was a risk worth taking to at the very least, find out what didn't work and improve on it the next time. Unlike apple which would rather cripple features for 2 generation (like MMS, video recording, etc) rather than risk them not go 100% as planned and ruin their sterling reputation. They take the "innovative" route of stealing ideas from small companies no one knows about and claiming them as their own.]]>Jul 27th 2009 8:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/blackberry-curve-8520-gets-a-hands-on-photo-shoot/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/blackberry-curve-8520-gets-a-hands-on-photo-shoot/Jul 27th 2009 8:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/blackberry-curve-8520-gets-a-hands-on-photo-shoot/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/blackberry-curve-8520-gets-a-hands-on-photo-shoot/Jul 27th 2009 8:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/blackberry-curve-8520-gets-a-hands-on-photo-shoot/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/blackberry-curve-8520-gets-a-hands-on-photo-shoot/
Yes!!! I need my next BlackBerry from good old Magenta, flavored w/some 3G, as nothing else will do!

The rumored 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera, GPS, Wi-Fi, QWERTY keyboard (A MUST for me), optical trackpad, and 480×360 res screen wouldn't hurt either...

Until then, the 8900 looks nice and all, but it is not enough to get me to sign my life away for another two years. My 8320 does the job for now, but I'd ditch it in a heartbeat for the Driftwood/96xx.

And so I wait...]]>Jul 27th 2009 9:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/blackberry-curve-8520-gets-a-hands-on-photo-shoot/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/blackberry-curve-8520-gets-a-hands-on-photo-shoot/Jul 28th 2009 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/blackberry-curve-8520-gets-a-hands-on-photo-shoot/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/27/blackberry-curve-8520-gets-a-hands-on-photo-shoot/Vodaphone?
