Give me something concrete, what is your actual problem with them? |
Scroll wheel (I am aware of the new trackball)
Java OS (it is slow)
Slow data connection (My damn EDGE connection faster than 3g on a lot of BBs)
Not able to be customized as much
Email is too basic.
Office compatibility sucks ass
The screen resolution is low (I am aware that most WM phones have a pretty low res too) |

of those the only two that are still valid are the basic email and the Java OS.
My data connection is great (and I'm on EDGE), v4.6 has great compatability to MS office, and the new BBs (bold, javlin, thunder) have high res screens (granted the Javlin and Thunder aren't out yet but they'll blow you away when released).
Dude, try playing with some newer models!... scroll wheel, what is this 1999?:rolleyes: |

Umm considering almost all businesses issue the 8703e still because it is cheap, they are very prevalent. Also, I did note that I was aware of the track ball. I used the 8830s on a daily basis at my old job. I am quite aware of the new products. They still suck though. They are getting better, but they are way behind.
ps: my newer phone I just got for cheap a couple weeks ago has a scroll wheel..but that is on top of the fact that it has a touch screen, a real internet browser, and a whole host of other features that the bb doesn't. Like a flash that I use as a flashlight, a good messaging app. yes better than the bb one, 3g, memory card slot, etc...oh and must I mention this model is 2.5yrs old? |

all things that the curve, pearl, bold, etc have or you can add through softwear apps. And if business standard down there is still the 87series then it's not RIM that's way behind.
FYI, touch-screen BB coming in a Oct/Nov (thunder). |

They are still the standard because even at my old company with 400lines, we got the 8703e for $89 and the 8830 was $179. The price disparity is even worse with less lines.

The Samsung OMNIA is powered by Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and comes packed with MS Office (PowerPoint, Excel, and Word). Even though the OMNIA is 100% touch screen, Samsung included an optical mouse for ease of navigation - the optical mouse is similar to what you’d find on laptops. Samsung OMNIA is possibly the best ever smartphone that Samsung has ever built. OMNIA is definitely a better name than SGH-i900, which means �everything’ in Latin and �wish’ in Arabic. The OMNIA is essentially everything that you can possibly wish for on a Windows Mobile 6.1 smart phone. It brings together high performance business content, high-end design mixed with a full bag of dynamic multimedia rich experience. |
