another blackberry basher...u fail to understand that there are millions of people that dont care for the latest apps or specs but just need entry level phones like this one..e.g Africa,India. besides what they use and love is bbm and as long as blackberry phones have it,millions will buy them.bbm is now a key platform for communication in Africa and millions own blackberries (through unregistered retailers)therefore few people are really concerned about the latest specs when another phone manufacturer will come up with better ones next week, who cares? Please note...blackberry sales are falling in North America but America is not the whole world. realize that you write for a global audience.

I agree with Buwanhot in that for someone who needs a reliable push email and talk device nothing compares to Blackberry. I owned 2 curves before jumping into an Android. Push email was FAR better on the Blackberry. The phone also held a charge longer and was a lot easier to learn and use especially for people just getting in to "smartphones." Blackberries definitely have a place in the market. I feel the same way about iPhones, I recommend them to everyone but would NEVER get one for myself.

I made the switch from a BlackBerry Torch to a iPhone 4 (it was $50!!!)

Immediately, I was missing my physical keyboard. I was making mistakes when typing in passwords, and trying to send e-mails and texts. It was annoying. Nothing, no virtual keyboard can replace a physical keyboard's accuracy.

What I found to love with the iPhone 4 was its smooth installations. I could do several other things, while I waited for my installations to complete; I could not do this with BlackBerry. The number of free apps on the iPhone definitely surmounted the number of apps on the BlackBerry, and none of the games on the BlackBerry were enjoyable and as interactive.

Compared to BlackBerry's internet, Safari is kinda lame and confusing. I find myself clicking the "Home" button on my iPhone instead of trying to figure out how to open a new tab or navigate away from a page.

I am having more fun with the iPhone, but I do miss my BlackBerry. I really wanted to get another BlackBerry (the Bold 9900), but the screen was too damn small. BlackBerry could go very far, but it misses the ball on almost everything it does. And for that, I am skeptical of its future in the consumer cell phone market.

Its not completely a dead platform, and alot of the new phones are cheap. If you like the BB platform then this phone isn't really bad. But I understand how people shouldn't waste their upgrades to get a phone like with OS10 on the horizon.
