Jesus, if it doesn't redefine sexy it's trash?

I'm sorry but I enjoy my blackberry's industrial design. It looks professional, neat, tidy and the form meets the function. Perfect. No extra crap I have to shell out for.

And what's up with all the blackberry haters? I've had the Hero and the TouchPro and while both operating systems have their pluses (android is extremely fun to play with in my opinion) neither can match the day in day out 100% "just works" of my blackberry. If I register at websites or sign up for a newsletter it's rare for me *not* to feel my berry buzzing as soon as I hit the submit key. And after trying out the gadgets and gizmos on other phones nothing really matters if your phone doesn't work. And sure, the app world doesn't have billions of apps, but it has everything I need... and everything everyone else needs. (*hint* Nobody needs games *hint*)

I've toyed with Android phones; most are just plain ugly (save for anything from HTC that isn't called G1 or Nexus One; they are the bomb in terms of design). The apps are cool, but I don't use many apps save for Bolt, Wordpress and UberTwitter; most of the apps are just toys to me and sort of meaningless (and the key word here, is for me; I greatly appreciate how others are in love with apps). The iPhone always seemed more show pony than workhorse to me (I also hated the lack of cut/copy-and-paste). As for the Pre: Undoubtedly beautiful, but the keyboard just plain sucks; the keys are way to small for even my long, thin piano-player fingers.

The Curve, which I just got two weeks ago, is the atomic bomb. The design is sexy but not fussy; the keyboard is great for one- or two-hand typing; the screen is neither too big nor too small for my tastes; and the OS works like a business-oriented phone OS is supposed to work. I haven't been this excited about a smartphone ever (and I even considered buying a Pre and an iPhone when each initially came out) -- and haven't been as excited about a phone since I got the Rant (which, among the feature phones, remains better than the Rumor/Exclaim crap out there).

The browser needs work (this is why I have Bolt) and I do wish RIM would allow for apps to embed on the MicroSD instead of the phone (better memory allocation). And I can understand why some would want RIM to push for more app development and redesign the UI (the OS is perfect). But RIM isn't meant for fun. It's for getting things done. Fun is why I own a Flip Mono, an iRiver, an iPod Touch and an XBox 360. ]]>Mar 2nd 2010 9:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/
I think so too that this has a resemblance with the leaked BB Magnum. More: http://bit.ly/blackberry-mangum-compiled-leaks

I think I’ll reserve judgement also until it comes out and see what it brings to the table.]]>Mar 2nd 2010 9:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/well, it does look monstrously huge.]]>Mar 2nd 2010 10:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/i concur, i luvz my tour :)]]>Mar 2nd 2010 10:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/Mar 2nd 2010 10:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/

Completely agree.

BB has the absolute best keyboards on the market, but you don't need a keyboard all the time, so being able to hide it away is truly the best of both worlds.

I honestly do not think this is anything but a prototype that will probably never reach the market, but it would be awesome if it was.]]>Mar 2nd 2010 9:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/
I disagree that BB's have the best keyboards on the market.

Both the Touch Pro 2 and the Envy3/ Envy Touch have much better keyboards. Granted they are both landscape keyboards, but they are superior. ]]>Mar 2nd 2010 9:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/Mar 2nd 2010 10:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/Mar 2nd 2010 8:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/Mar 2nd 2010 9:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/Mar 2nd 2010 9:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/Mar 2nd 2010 9:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/Trackballs/trackpads are fantastic for navigation in landscape view and typing messages. If I'm typing a message, I can continue using my left hand to type and use the right thumb on the pad/ball. It's fantastic for navigation in general (especially on a BB with all its menus) as well as for gaming (whether that will ever happen on a blackberry is a tossup).]]>Mar 2nd 2010 9:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/Mar 2nd 2010 9:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/Mar 2nd 2010 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/Mar 2nd 2010 9:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/blackberry-slider-photos-leak-out/Mar 2nd 2010 9:29PM
