When everyone else is pumping out hd cameras, hd out, 1ghz processors, games, etc blackberry is worried about pumping out more midrange of the same stuff even their flagship currently the 9700 and soon to be 9800 seem like a year behind everyone else it sucks cause i love how easy to use, reliable, well built and stable they are. I have the 9700 had the 8900 but when i see phones like the evo, or the galaxy s pro even more so I'm thinking what reasons do i have for not jumping ship to android?

Lol, both blackberries and thinkpads. As a previous user of BOTH, I do have to say that the users of these two specific products typically start with them and defend them without having spent time with other products. I got away from those 'perfect' blackberries and will never go back. The UI is dated and atrocious. I worked in IT and the email use was agonizingly painful. It was pure ugly. It was slow. It was boring.

Thinkpads? Yeah. I had use a Dell precision and simply TOUCH an HP elitebook to realize those thinkpads are bulky, overrated, outdated, and overpriced and underfeatured computers. My T series is now a download machine, and my friends (elitebook user) W500 is his media center.

And were both happy ex-bb users. Lol.]]>Jun 26th 2010 12:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/blackberry-curve-9300-prototype-gets-handled-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/blackberry-curve-9300-prototype-gets-handled-on-video/

There will come a time when iPhone and Android are accepted in the world of Enterprise and when that day comes, and I'm sorry to say this because I was a Blackberry dev for a while, the platform won't survive.

They do need to design some different looking devices, but am I the only one that actually likes the design? I know a lot of people are used to seeing a plate of rectangular glass with one button on the bottom, but as far as business phones go this is pretty darn hot.]]>Jun 26th 2010 3:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/blackberry-curve-9300-prototype-gets-handled-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/blackberry-curve-9300-prototype-gets-handled-on-video/
I am sorry, but don't ALL those full touch-screen phones look the same also? Change a few things, add this, take this out, and voila, new phone! The iPhone hasn't changed design, HTC designs are pretty much the same with some tweaking around, Motorola follows the same line.

Blackberry is like the smartphone Thinkad, it works, and evolves instead of revolutionizing the market. Those of us who have BBs either love them or hate them. As for me, I am loyal to RIM as I know my BB won't crack if it fells to the ground 3 times (pun intended). The only thing RIM has lagged is the browser, as I know it is not the best in the market, but other than that, the hardware keyboard (one of the best BB feature, therefore always present), the stability, the ruggedness, it is a trusty platform. Not an app-phone, but IMHO the real smartphone, made to work and depend on it.]]>Jun 26th 2010 6:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/blackberry-curve-9300-prototype-gets-handled-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/blackberry-curve-9300-prototype-gets-handled-on-video/Jun 26th 2010 9:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/blackberry-curve-9300-prototype-gets-handled-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/blackberry-curve-9300-prototype-gets-handled-on-video/Jun 26th 2010 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/blackberry-curve-9300-prototype-gets-handled-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/blackberry-curve-9300-prototype-gets-handled-on-video/
Agreed. Considering the fact that RIM make as much money as they do I expect them to be creating products that are as forward thinking as products that HTC and Apple are putting on the market. Yes, there are things that the BB does VERY well, but that is no excuse for being so slow at releasing anything that is revolutionary or competitive. ]]>Jun 26th 2010 12:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/blackberry-curve-9300-prototype-gets-handled-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/blackberry-curve-9300-prototype-gets-handled-on-video/
Evolutionary ... For college kids and gamers? I feel a bit silly and embarrassed pulling out my iPhone in any serious meeting.

Sorry but the word Revolutionary lost it's definition when Apple kept using it with their iPhone; with it's revolutionary capabilities of:
1) cut/paste
2) video camera
3) LED flash
4) multi-tasking
5) folders - really? folders?
And yet with all those Revolutionary discoveries by Apple they still have not revolutionized the most important thing, Ca.......

The latter is a true entry-level model while the former is higher spec'd, closer to a bold (although not quite) but thinner and with the chicklet keyboard (for those that prefer it). The 8900 is also more immediately due for a replacement since the release of the Bold 9650 leaves it the only trackball model left.]]>Jun 26th 2010 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/blackberry-curve-9300-prototype-gets-handled-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/blackberry-curve-9300-prototype-gets-handled-on-video/Jun 26th 2010 12:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/blackberry-curve-9300-prototype-gets-handled-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/blackberry-curve-9300-prototype-gets-handled-on-video/
I can't believe the guy in the video didn't even know what model he was comparing it to. It makes the whole video pretty out of context from a comparison standpoint.

The device he's comparing it to is a higher end Curve 8900 device with a significantly better display resolution. It would have been more appropriate to compare this new 9300 to an actual Curve 8500 series device.

It's cool that they got a pre-production device this early, but the video is a total wash from a comparison standpoint.]]>Jun 26th 2010 3:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/blackberry-curve-9300-prototype-gets-handled-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/blackberry-curve-9300-prototype-gets-handled-on-video/Jun 26th 2010 12:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/blackberry-curve-9300-prototype-gets-handled-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/blackberry-curve-9300-prototype-gets-handled-on-video/Jun 26th 2010 1:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/blackberry-curve-9300-prototype-gets-handled-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/blackberry-curve-9300-prototype-gets-handled-on-video/Jun 26th 2010 3:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/blackberry-curve-9300-prototype-gets-handled-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/blackberry-curve-9300-prototype-gets-handled-on-video/
