yeah blackberry phones are bare bone essentials email/productivity machines. thats why business people use blackberrys. im not a heavy email user, so the phone seems boring to me. i always laugh when i see kids with a blackberry. i'm like, do you even have an Outlook work email account? what meetings do you have to go to? lol
and thats why i like smartphones like droids and iphones that pretty much have a little bit of everything. although i know what you mean about basic phone functions, seems like were forgetting the purpose of phones is
btw, did you see that Android just passed up Apple/iPhone in terms of market share??!?! just announced a few days ago. Android is now #2, behind the blackberry platform. and this happened about 6 months after the release of the first serious android phone, the moto droid. google/android are making huge strides in the smartphone market
