a) My 2008 era blackberry is routinely hung doing something. Apps take minutes to load. I/O on it seems like it's about half as fast as other modern smartphones on the same network. For example, by the time I get a nice app like google maps up (I'm not even talking loading a map), I may as well not even bother, I can just ask somebody the directions. b) I'm complaining that I can't find the setting to change it...anywhere... c) Yes, I have 2 MB of space left on the internal memory, but 1.8GB of space left on the hot swappable microSD. I actually can't install another app. The microSD card, from where it's at, is as about as hot swappable as the PCB of the device. It's like saying the system RAM of my laptop is hot swappable. It's about as accessible. Shouldn't being able to install to it be my business? d) I have an 8310. Some time on my wife's 9700 seems to indicate none of the issues I have with mine are solved. There are good parts, the keyboard is the best I've ever used on a device like this. I can tether relatively easily (if only the network connectivity didn't suck). The device has been beat to hell and back and still functions pretty well. It uses normal mini-USB connectors. Phone quality is good, speakerphone quality is far superior to an iPhone. I don't hate it, I'd just like it to be better.
