Another blackberry, basically the exact same design as all the other blackberries and running basically the exact same OS as all the other bkackberries..

Dont any of you get tired of this?

How many black berries are there in the world? like 70?]]>Jul 5th 2010 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/blackberry-curve-9300-gets-fcc-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/blackberry-curve-9300-gets-fcc-approval/
"I guess this sells to hardcore no-nonsense business types."

Not everything is the latest greatest mumbo high end tech for gadget geeks like us. There are plenty of tailored use-specific offerings out there, plenty of which do sell very well.]]>Jul 5th 2010 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/blackberry-curve-9300-gets-fcc-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/blackberry-curve-9300-gets-fcc-approval/Jul 5th 2010 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/blackberry-curve-9300-gets-fcc-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/blackberry-curve-9300-gets-fcc-approval/

I didn't think so, genius. OS 6 is just like OS 5 was - tweak the UI a little and call it revolutionary. If you really think OS 6 is going to get RIM back in the game, you're living under an absolutely enormous rock. ]]>Jul 5th 2010 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/blackberry-curve-9300-gets-fcc-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/blackberry-curve-9300-gets-fcc-approval/

I just don't understand the whole "BB does messaging better" argument anymore. What is "better" about BB messaging? Push? BBM? I've got both of that (granted not specifically BBM, but plenty of push messaging apps) right on my iPhone or Nexus One. I'll give BB the keyboard. You just can't beat a BB's keyboard, but I can type pretty damn fast and accurately on my iPhone or Nexus One. ]]>Jul 5th 2010 3:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/blackberry-curve-9300-gets-fcc-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/blackberry-curve-9300-gets-fcc-approval/Jul 5th 2010 7:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/blackberry-curve-9300-gets-fcc-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/blackberry-curve-9300-gets-fcc-approval/Jul 5th 2010 10:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/blackberry-curve-9300-gets-fcc-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/blackberry-curve-9300-gets-fcc-approval/
+ keyboards. know the shortcuts; any references to 'clunky menu systems' is moot. :)]]>Jul 5th 2010 10:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/blackberry-curve-9300-gets-fcc-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/blackberry-curve-9300-gets-fcc-approval/
You make some good points, and those were the exact reasons I owned the above BBs. But unfortunately that wasn't enough for me. BBM was, and still is, fantastic. But at this point, everyone I know has unlimited texting, so I can just as easily use that on my iPhone or Nexus One and have equally instant conversations.

BB's push email is fine, but I get push email on my iPhone as well. With my iPhone I also get a reasonably good looking email client as well, which can format emails perfectly and quickly, unlike the BB email client (which was far improved in OS 4.5/5).

Looking at the apps, the iPhone (and Android phones) just kick BB in the arse. BB screens are small, and many have craptastically low resolution (like the one in this post, AFAIK). Even the ones with a nice resolution, like the Bold 9700 or 9650, look really nice, but the apps are still meh. It's really hard for devs to create a really good looking app on BB, where it's not on iPhone or Android (or WebOS to be fair).

Bottom line is, yes, I've owned plenty of BBs and wouldn't hate having one dedicated to just BBM/texting/email for the keyboard. Otherwise, keep them away from me. They're an absolute pain to deal with at work because most people don't really know how to use them, and the fact we have to use a BESX server for simple Exchange connectivity irks me. ]]>Jul 6th 2010 7:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/blackberry-curve-9300-gets-fcc-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/blackberry-curve-9300-gets-fcc-approval/Jul 5th 2010 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/blackberry-curve-9300-gets-fcc-approval/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/blackberry-curve-9300-gets-fcc-approval/
That being said I carry android and blackberry. I'm no fan boy. I will never carry iPhone because ATT stinks. I need 3g everywhere.
