If work did not force me to carry a separate work phone, there is no way I would own a Blackberry over my Droid(or any other Android device).]]>Apr 26th 2010 9:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/Apr 26th 2010 9:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/Apr 26th 2010 9:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/
Consumers tastes are different? Not all consumers are app-loving people. Of course if you're into apps, you're not going to pick up a BlackBerry but if you're into messaging, Facebook, Twitter, I don't see how you can go wrong with a BlackBerry. It's been 3 years and I'm still on my 8830 with no problems and haven't felt the need to upgrade to a newer BlackBerry because the 8830 does everything I need it to do.]]>Apr 26th 2010 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/Apr 26th 2010 10:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/Apr 26th 2010 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/Apr 26th 2010 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/Apr 26th 2010 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/
RIM's business trump card is their consumer Achilles heel.. JAVA! Or rather JAVA without a speedy well thought API (i.e Android) means that all their apps will look worse than their equilvalent Iphone/Android/WinPhone 7 app. If OS 6 doesnt change this (cant see it myself, but we have hope..) then maybe RIM can win.

I doubt it will happen because upgrading their app API will mean destroying compatibility with previous models, and that just isnt RIM' style. However, they could end up like Nokia, struggling to tart up an old OS whilst trying to introduce a radical new one. That doesn't really work, that's why MS have gone for broke with WinPhone 7. Sometimes you just have to let go dudes...

I own a Tour, and after putting some real time into an iPod Touch and HTC HD2, I've gotten rid of the physical keyboard stigma. I can be just as efficient on a virtual keyboard.

You know what that means? I have no reason to keep my Blackberry. Crappy OS, boring/expensive apps, HORRIBLE web browser, lackluster multi-media capabilities.

Sorry RIM, but "push e-mail" as the touting feature just doesn't do it in today's smartphone arena.

Android, WinMo 7, and iPhone is too far ahead... even if you include existing features, guess what, you're still playing catch-up.

Oh good, yet another evolution. Perhaps someone should tell RIM that it's not 2003 anymore and they need to catch up. Having used E63/E71/E72 and BBs I have to say NOKIA is waay ahead of the game.]]>Apr 26th 2010 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/Apr 26th 2010 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/Apr 26th 2010 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/Apr 26th 2010 12:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/Apr 26th 2010 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/Apr 26th 2010 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/Apr 26th 2010 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-bold-9650-announced-targets-tour-owners-big-complai/
