yeah, they're neat initially. Then they get coated in your skinjizz and whatever you eat while you use your phone and just grrrr

Exactly! Not to mention, why would they implement something that a damn computer had issues with (ball mice anyone and cleaning the out?!) staying clean?!

I'm gonna be getting Blackberry Tour myself next month. I hope they'll improve the trackball issue though.

I have the Nokia N97 and it's pretty cool, but the software is still rubbish. When you get used to the snappy response of an iPhone, everything else seems too damn slow. The Android phones have got very close but they've written their OS much better than Nokia. The new Symbian better be snappy or I will not be a happy chappy.

Which is why they're being replaced by track pads.

An easy way to put it is this. Imagine a girl sucking you off, then half way through, she stops and says, "All done!" That is the Blackberry. Everything, with the exception of e-mail, is not only an afterthought, but a pieced together jumble of . It does nothing well except plain text email.
what i know is that coming from HTC to BB I've found my use of a mobile device to have had expanded 10 fold. I didn't like the Mogul and definitely didn't like the touch or touch pro. I think I'm done with touch screen phones.
i've used the iphone as well and although there is great end user design the network that its on really sucks. I'm not a fan of verizon either and am very satisfied with Sprint's EVERYTHING + Any mobile plan. At $72 a month for the amount of uses my BB does on a network that hasn't failed me yet I can't complain. This is coming from a dev minded programmer on a Windows Mobile Device to a Mac Book Pro owner that runs both PC and Mac environments at work and at home. My only gripe with Windows Mobile devices is that it's TOO windows for me, memory leaks, READING UP on why there are memory leaks, etc. For me the BB does this this this and that..those are the things I do daily (email, phone, text, surf, search, news, sports, travel) on a network that is fast enough to handle it.
A business man in a large metropolitan city and a college student from the midwest would have much different needs.

I've had 2 Storms now as I accidentally dropped my first one in the big blending machine at work. Smashed it to bits but got a new one with insurance. I love em, watching movies on them is cool, such a sick screen imo.:)

Maemo 5 has gotten really good reviews. Very responsive and all that. If I remember correctly, there is going to be a firmware/software update for the N97, but I could be wrong.

Yeah I know, why the hell would you make the mistake at all?!

From a developers standpoint, I think we can agree that Windows Mobile is probably the worst platform to develop for.
As for memory leaks, they exist in every OS. Some more than others. WM has gotten better with WM6.5 (immensely better) which been floating around.
