Badly written article making a single point that has been debated to death many times.
As far as I'm concerned, I won't be leaving RIM for as long as they keep making phones like the Bold 9700, and I know many colleagues and friends who feel the same. I also know a handful who moved from Blackberry to iPhone and regret it, they are all either planning to move back, or they already have. (Don't think I know a single person who moved away from Blackberry and doesn't regret it.)
I love what Google are doing with Android and I love Apple products (I currently own two generations of iPod Touch and two generators if iPod Nano - side note, the newest Nano is perfection.) But RIM's products aren't an older version of what Apple and other companies are creating, it's just a different product, and for people like me, it's still the best product.
- stcredzero 16y agoWhat early adopters often forget is how huge the pool of email users is. http://xkcd.com/802/ http://xkcd.com/802/ The users of email dwarf the users of social networking and smartphone apps. Blackberry still makes great devices for email power users.
- rapind 16y agoAgreed. Terriible article. What sums it up for me is RIM email and keyboard owns. iPhone browsing owns. Wish I could have both. I personally could care less about the apps although I'm sure many do. Writing this on my iPhone was painful.
