The problem with the big gadget blogs, Gizmodo, Engadget, Crunchgear, is that the writers generally use Gmail or Yahoo mail (or some other web email). As a result, they don't have to worry about Exchange integration, which is what the vast majority of Blackberry users out there DO care about. Yes, Blackberry does not support IMAP. This is not a big deal, because most of us get our BB emails from a Blackberry Enterprise Server.

Oh yes, and I'd also like to complain about this statement: "glad to have WiFi -- it's extremely nice on the Bold, and it certainly improves battery life." WiFi *improves* battery life? Yes, I'm sure having another radio turned on will do wonders for my already anemic battery life on the Tour. No thanks, the VZW EVDO network works great for me. WiFi is a nice to have, but I'd probably never use it beyond the first week.]]>Aug 31st 2009 5:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/blackberry-essex-to-bring-wifi-on-tour/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/blackberry-essex-to-bring-wifi-on-tour/
