Title: Crackberry circling the drain...

I like mine pretty well, but I'll be the first to admit it deeply sucks at the Innerwebs.

OTOH, the keyboard is absolutely the best in the business and it's durable as hell.

I was recently asked for a phone recommendation by a longtime BlackBerry user who'd been holding out hope for the company but finally gave in and was looking at iPhones and Android phones.  I suggested an iPhone.

I don't think the oldschool phones are bad, just dated.

The PlayBook, on the other hand IS bad, and doesn't give me confidence on the upcoming phones on the QNX platform.


Disclaimer: I am currently short RIMM.

Gotta have a keyboard, man. I'm sorry, but that's just the way it is. And it doesn't really 'Deeply Suck' at anything on  the internet except video, which is actually kind of OK by me. The rest of the innerweb it just sort of sucks at. Straight text stuff is pretty good.

We like 'em at work though. They pick up part of my service, so it's hard to complain too much.

Now they're just *goshdarn* with me: I installed an 'Update', and it appears to have crashed the bugger.  :sad3:

as they saying goes,  too slow to adapt.
