I read it. I'm not impressed nor convinced.

I sure wish WES was tomorrow...sigh. I work at a lot of conferences, unfortunately, this one is on the wrong side of the country. Otherwise, I'd be hiding under every booth trying to get sneak peeks!
This is a smart phone, it is JUST a smart phone. If it were meant to be anything more than a smart phone, we would have been issued further instructions on where to go and what to do and computers would have no place in our lives.

04-20-2010, 01:20 PM #54 Still looks garbage to me. Not impressed or really looking forward to RIM finally getting a decent browser. Thanks but no thanks.
Who cares which device is better? Isn't all that matters is that it's the best one for you? - 04-20-2010, 01:24 PM #55 Haha! Alright then... "Not impressed" is a bit of a stretch, but not "looking forward" to RIM's new browser? Now you're just scraping the bottom of the barrel. Originally Posted by scorpiodsu

04-20-2010, 01:40 PM #57 Actually the iPhone has only a been out little less than 3 years. Even so the OS still isn't as stale as BBOS and ancient looking. But the BBOS still looks very much like the old OS from the 8300, 8800 and 8100 series. All they did was change the icons. Android and iPhone put RIM's OS to shame in looks and usability. iPhone has only been out since 2007 but blackberries have been around forever with little change in small increments and still failing in major areas. And long as I have to go through a bunch of menus to get things done and have crappy apps available I don't want any part of it.

I'm curious as to see how 6.0 does when it's released, but if I'm underwhelmed by it, I'll probably be going Android as well seeing as my upgrade is due this summer. - 04-20-2010, 01:42 PM #59
Here's hoping I can get 6.0 on my Storm 2!

04-20-2010, 01:52 PM #60 Looks decent, much better than that atrocity I passed up playing MW2 to see BBleaks drop. Good thing RIM is biting off others to improve their products, now let's see what RIM changed for the underlying problems of the OS.

While physical keyboards hold little interest for me, I'll certainly be curious to see the Slider. My concern is, it will be too thick. The S3 they're talking about, is supposed to be as thin (if not a bit thinner according to some reports) as the iPhone.
As to delays by Bell, isn't that a Carrier issue, rather than a RIM issue?

I agree, though I'm certain those things are happening independently of each other. Personally, I like CB's/Mobi's app store, works just fine for me. Yep, you'd think BB's App World would be better, but it matters little to me, I've only used it to get BBM and, I think, Google's Search App.

04-20-2010, 02:05 PM #68 RIM cobbled App World together as a me too offering, isn't installed on every device AND can't be used by devices that aren't on a data plan (really stupid since there are quite a few BB out there just SOL). Originally Posted by killswitchX13

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com - 04-20-2010, 02:11 PM #69 To me, it's not worth the space, both in terms of memory, and on the application menu. Originally Posted by killswitchX13

04-20-2010, 02:13 PM #70 I'll assume you don't use facebook that often? Facebook for BB crushes the browser version. Calendar events, birthdays, higher res photos, native uploads, notifications (I'm not a fan of relentless email notifications) and contact sync to boot for great device integration. All it needs is chat/flash apps and there would literally be zero reason to touch the desktop version. Originally Posted by Masahiro

Isn't it amusing how people who claim to not enjoy CB at all simply can't stay away????
It's because it's CRACKBERRY, the BEST BB site....

I hope pinch to zoom is an option. Click zooming (S2) is much easier with one hand. I hate pinch zoom.

32GB Playbook - OS 2.0 - 04-20-2010, 02:34 PM #74 if your familiar with older motorola products, they were built to take a beating. You could run a car over a star-tac (remember those?) and still make calls on the thing. Originally Posted by Qbnkelt

I wouldn't be surprised if there's still a ton of glitches to be ironed out, and the last thing I want them doing is working on any more "super apps", although it obviously takes far less man hours to code a Twitter app than a whole new browser.
