Why a touchscreen BlackBerry is needed now

After using the iPhone 3G for the past few weeks and watching others doing the same thing, it quickly became apparent that the true nature of this industry doesn’t revolve around the fact that a certain product is unique or that it’s even on a good carrier.

Personally, I'd say that

Personally, I'd say that blackberry really has the upper hand here. regardless if the thunder only has lukewarm acceptance they have the potential to cut into apple's market. Something Apple was unable to do to RIM. UBS Investment research determined that the effect of the iphone on the blackberry market was very insignificant, now RIM can fire back with a product that could interest current users and even bring in newer, younger users. something they obviously tried with the pearl.

Just picked up my new iphone

Just picked up my new iphone today and must admit it is very cool. except...

1) i almost crashed my car, because unlike my Blackberry, I could not just hit a speed dial without looking at the phone.

2) I have had 5 dropped calls in the first 5 hours of owning the phone in NYC.

3) Unlike the Blackberry, You can only program in 1 pop email account to push to the iphone. Sure I could forward to another account, but i dont want to.

I would love to keep this phone. But truth be told, AT&T and the I Phone suck as a paired unit. I will just keep my 8830 and ipod touch and wait for the new verizon blackberry.

Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.
