This brand is notoriously slow to adapt and compete. Every single model has a drawback that is so basic to cure. Just get a bloody model that can fight head on with the Nokia E61i (with a front face camera), 3G, HSDPA, good camera, improved file management and you are there. For now, all types are silly phones.

If you were an ACTUAL RIM rep (like myself, rep I.d. 6562857ON), you would know the Blackberry 9003 is due for release by June 8 2008( yes, exactly a year after the shitty iphone debuted) And it really will kill the iphone. And it is definitely NOT a shitbox like the Verizon Voyager. Then again everything Verizon has sucks balls. Depecheman, you’re an idiot.

There is NO blackberry 9000 coming out!! I would have heard about it already, I am a blackberry tech, and there are no official sites that talk about the blackberry 9000. I just met with people from RIM (the maker of blackberry) today and they told me that it was a joke. Some people took a Blackberry Curve and edited it with adobe photoshop to make it look like an iphone with touch screen and called it the Blackberry 9000. It’s a fake!!! In fact, RIM told me they will probably never manufacture anything like the iphone. They will always have keyboards. HA HA, I can’t believe people are falling for this.

If you hit the wrong key you just keep going and it figures you meant to hit a key near it based on the other letters in the word. You can actually type a word with no correct letters and it will replace it with the right word. it works really well. My guess is the 9000's software won't be as good as the iphones, but the iphone doesn't have push email which is a big problem for me. youre crazy if you think the touch keyboard sucks. i type laser fast on my ipod touch (I have a blackberry too).

It is simply unparelled in this industry. something anyone whos a fan of RIM would agree with. the blackberry 9000 is, ‘NOT’ the voyager, the voyager for verizon is a P.O.S and has many issues, as a matter of fact they have pulled all stock off shelves for verizon dealers.. when i get the 9000 ill be more then happy to show how and why it kicks everything else’s ass on the cell market today.

There is also a difference between a pressure touch screen (Voyager) and a heat sensitive screen (i-phone). Women with fingernails have to use their whole finger to type on the i-phone. It makes it extremely hard to be accurate. Not to mention that cold fingers = no ability to even answer the phone. Where the 9k really has a chance to shine is in the operating system. Pre-9000 BB is slick but i-phone is slicker. If 9000 has a GUI that lets you switch between something that puts i-phone snazzy to shame and something that is hper-customizable (in true BB form) it will blow everything else away.

Apple sure didn't. Hardcore BB fans will be tough to please. Oh yes, and don't forget those who love to drive and dial. Nothing like a tactile keyboard for that function. If I were a gambling man, I would bet that they are targeting the iPhone, and that "real" BB warriors will stear clear.

As most of the touch screen technology is patented by Apple, the cooperation with Apple helps Research in Motion to bring new devices to the market much master than previously anticipated. RIMM is adapting this successful strategy from MICROSOFT - selling 2.class technology at a premium to unsavy computer users (and those who prefer spending time with setting up their devices, contact support hotlines and fiddling with their products instead of using it for the purpose they're sold to be used for). RIMM, once again, drawing from close looks at Apple's and Microsofts products, decided to make their own case design and interface because the original Apple designs are just to easy to use and to cool looking. The new Phone will be available in second half of 2008 at between 799-999 USD.
