Comments on: Live Blackberry Thunder shots – does RIM have the worst security over their prototypes or what? http://www.geardiary.com/2008/07/13/live-blackberry-thunder-shots-does-rim-have-the-worst-security-over-their-prototypes-or-what/ Everyone can understand technology; sometimes it just takes a little translating.

I'm actually still carrying my 8320 solely for that purpose (in my backpack). Oddly enough the thing I miss the most about Blackberry is the password keeper.

I was simply saying it's a nice touch and is different for the "plain ole RIM." I too have many years with BBs (10 now actually). I have come to love certain things about them. The iphone is an entertainment device first, a productive workhorse second. RIM is just now starting to get into the entertainment side of things really with their first decent and far from perfect rendition being the Curve. Most of the reasons you point out are things BB is and has been working on for QUITE sometime. All I am saying is BB is an excellent production phone and I accomplish things 10x quicker on it than I do my iphone. I absolutely love my iphone, but it by no means will ever replace my BB anytime soon. Apple still has alot to do. If you are more concerned about entertainment than by all means right now hands down the iphone is your best choice IMO. It's also rumored that adobe flash player lite will be implemented in the new browser. There are alot of rumors or things in the works that would make it an excellent phone. But as I am sure you are aware RIM tends to fall on it's face and leaves 60% of the things it was working on out of the final model leaving you with mild improvement. If they would simply get all these features into the phone it would really compete with the iphone when it comes to what I would call "mild business users." I think younger generations will always choose the iphone over a BB simply because of name branding and recognition. You are correct, skins are not new.

Windows Mobile apps have existed that create them for quite some time (I wrote about one today - iwindowsmobile - as a matter of fact). I spent 10++ years with a Blackberry 24x7x365

Here’s why I left

You state it isn't innovative? It has haptic tech. It has a much better keyboard layout than Apple does imho. With Suretype in portrait and full QWERTY in landscape. It also is said to have this in all modes, unlike the iphone. It's rumored that skins will be available for the keyboards. That's a nice touch. They already have copy and paste functions which the iphone badly needs. They are rumored to be working on a full browser as well, just like the iphone. To say this product is not innovative is ludicrous. It may not be innovative to RIM since they have such a great productivity software foundation already, but hardware wise it could spawn a nice comeback in the touchscreen lovers Apple has stolen from them. Assuming they redid all the icons and GUIs on this phone to something more professional (face it RIM your designs look child like) than this phone coule be really sweet. Makes me think someone who posted this loves Apple a wee bit too much. I own both a BB and the new iphone. They both have their pluses and minuses. No phone is perfect.

WTH does apple do that in only a few places and where it isn't critical... (Hey apple, why not let us compose email with the bigger keyboard...duh..)
