I dont much care what its called, I paid top dollar for what was at the time the best blackberry availible. Now the siri thing and androids are going crazy all for free while I cant get a sad Imitation for under 10 bucks at the app world. I can tell you all this, whatever RIM does will be too late to salvage this once happy customer, in the same vein as HP will never get another dime from me the once strong RIM is now just a shadow of its former self, the technology cancer ie: indifference to its paying customers eq has too much of the company. I give it 2 years before they get sold to some fly by night tech circus for a dime on the dollar of its former value. But of course by then I will be using either an IPhone or Android Phone and I will no longer care. Signed Tired of watching American companies screw their customers and shooting themselves in the foot!!

[...] When I first got my Torch 9800 with OS 6 I had really high expectations and was hoping for a really great device with a much needed update to outdated software that was falling behind the pack. Unfortunately to say, I wasn’t super impressed with OS 6. The dpi on the screen was low, the motions were choppy and loading applications seems to take a lot longer than expected. I’m very happy to say that all of those issues are a thing of the past and OS 7 has really impressed me and given me some insight of great things to come from BlackBerry. When I tested the new Torch 9860 at the BlackBerry OS 7 release event in downtown Toronto the representative told me that the web browsing experience was about 40% faster compared to OS 6. I disagree. I thought it was about 80-100% faster, depending on what I was loading. Finally a much improved and better experience browsing on a BlackBerry, as this one probably one of the biggest complaints for BB fans. Also, with HTML 5 support you really can’t go wrong. The icons while similar to the previous ones have been refreshed with a new feel and new design. Full of detail and color they work hand in hand with the high res and high DPI screen to bring a more refined look. The voice search is a great new feature in OS 7 giving a “hands free” option for fast searching on your device. Press the microphone icon in the search and you’ll be prompted to say a search word or phrase, Only about a second later your results will be on the screen. Testing this several times I must say that I’m actually really impressed. If there’s little to no background noise this feature was 100% accurate and about 90% with medium to high background noise. Very respectable. What’s needed is for RIM to make the voice a little more user friendly and connect actions. See more about this from this article on BlackBerryCool. [...]

The dynamics are completely different as well as the algorithms. It’s not just recognition – static per set commands. It’s not just search – dynamic social and location relevant search with relevant results with intuitive interpretation.

I long ago blogged that RIM Needs to step up their game and change partners if necessary not just purchase a pre set package. Implementing voice search is a nice step but it’s not enough. iOS is a pleasure to use and I’m on it full time.

There is a difference between voice recognition (Nuance) and what you do with it. The latter is called interpretation or find the meaning of what has been said and that is the difficult part.
