Is it really necessary to have an iPhone killer? It did it's thing. It changed the way these companies make phones. We can see unrest in the way Apple does business, in it's stale OS (which is getting many much-needed competitive features in OS 4) and the device design. (4G looks a thousand times better than those iPod Touch's with microphones ie 2G/3G/3GS) There will be nothing in the next few years that will kill the iPhone, but eventually someone (probably an Android phone, or maybe even HP whenever they do their thing with WebOS) will make a phone that blows the iPhone out of the water and then we'll need a million and three threads on here about the next _________ killer. People thought nothing would ever outsell the Razr. Titanic was the highest grossing movie of all time. RIM ruled smartphones. Things will eventually change, and that's just the way it goes, there's no need to keep making these kinds of comparisons 3 devices after the first 'iPhone killer' came out from RIM.
I personally don't give a sh*t whether the Storm3 has a glowing red eye and hunts iPhones while using voice command to tell me to get the chopper. I just want it to work well, bring some new things to the table, and have SurePress. If there's anything to take / believe from this article, it's the improved SurePress. I seriously hope this finally shuts up all the people whining for full capacitive Storms.
All I can say is, I told you it wasn't going to happen.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way, if you do, it's most likely because you're using an old version of crackberry.

I think he was being sarcastic.
If you were being sarcastic, then I need more coffee!05-11-10 10:11 AM - Lol! Seriously. I laughed out loud at that one. 3 people just looked at me like I'm bi-polar and homeless. This gets my vote as one of the top 10 funniest on crackberry.Lol, "what version of Google". That's a good one.

Seriously, RIM has in the past fallen behind in the Hardware comparison - like no Wi-Fi on the S1 or only 128MB of application memory... and two months after the S2 was release the DROID came out and blew away any comparison to the "improvements" RIM had made in the STORM line.05-11-10 01:09 PM - That's simply how the Androids are marketted. They sell by putting emphasis on the top end specs. It's their perk as much as push is for Blackberrys and the apps are for iphone (that is not to say it's the only thing each platforms offer).I hope those specification for the S4 are really for the S3...

No thank you that's not for me, I much prefer to text or email... Better yet I think the 5GSEX should be completely thought controlled... Why type messages on a small keypad when you can have a device that just reads your thoughts and send the message...I hope those specification for the S4 are really for the S3...

Just read an article about how RIM is "managing" to keep their smartphone cost down and that is one reason that BB are so much in demand. Maybe they purposely buy last years technology at a discount?05-12-10 08:34 AM - Yes I know the benefits of a compass. My point was the fact that many blackberry users didn't understand the benefit and laughed. Now it's just funny to see how it would not feel to laugh at a feature and now the company you supports would probably be implementing in 2 years later. Yeah they probably do buy last years technology. It's just hilarious that these "new and innovative" devices will be more of the same while Apple and Google crush the consumer market. RIM needs to just stick to business. They are the best for that.Navigation is a big feature on smartphones, and while a compass is not really required it is a helpful feature, especially for people that travel mainly by foot.

I disagree...it's BEFORE breathing and in the event breathing is needed, there's an app for that, too!
Seriously though, you are correct on Apple's marketing, it's very strong and very successful (just witness the PC guy vs. the Apple guy series that has run for a long, long time). Nobody else manages to come up with such effective ads and I'm certain that has played into their sales volume as well.
I'd continue, but since my BB does NOT have a breathing app, I need to take off.
