I gave my iPhone to my daughter when I ditched AT&T for Sprint and an 8330. I needed a device that would give me some feedback when typing. Not all of us are 25 and trying to impress everyone around us with the "coolest" thing out there.
I believe true Mac users are not the Kool-Aid drinkers. True Mac users are people who enjoy using an elegant computer they don't have to fight with every day. iPhone is an incredible device, but you would be surprised how many people "think different" when it comes to a phone, and use their free will to not use an iPhone.
You should take your sales opinion (and that's all it is - your opinion, just like mine is only mine) somewhere where it might do you some good.
The BEST mobile phone on earth is...
Whatever works best for the USER.
Some people just don't want an iPhone, or anything with an Apple logo on it. Just like others who would never buy Fords, Chevys, Toyotas, etc. Who really cares? It's a TOOL, not a way of life. | Very well said! Quote:

I am the first to admit, RIM neglects us Mac folks and I think it's high time they did something about it. But in the meantime, I recommend drinking a *little* less Kool-Aid an using what works. The beauty of the Intel Mac is that there's nothing you can't run on them. My machines are all dual and triple-boot and I'd argue I'm just as "real" a Mac user as you are.
In fact, without Windows at all, I can sync both iCal and and the Mac Address Book.app with both GCal and my own webdav server, and GoogleSync gets it all to my phone and back. No BES and no Windows.
That being said, I can't do without the freedom to upgrade and tweak the OS on my phone, and all the free things available like CrackMem, CrackUtil, JL_Cmder, etc. are all the persuation I need to run Windows. The Mac makes running Windows so easy that it's worth it to have a little partition if for nothing more than your BlackBerry apps, but there are still a lot of other programs I use Windows for too. | I agree 100%. RIM definitely needs to show some love the mac community. Even then I would still run Windows on my mac so I can have access to the CrackMem, CrackUtil, JL_Cmder and other utilities that allow me to customize and tweak my BB. Quote:

Don't get me wrong, I love the phone itself, but if I want to use it to it's full extend it's a pain in the ***.. The applications are so very expensive, also that limited application memory, what the **** is that?!! I was hoping much more from a blackberry.. When I get a job I'll definitely go with an iphone even though I'm loving my BB.. I hope in the future they'll improve Blackberries and make it a better fit with Mac, but I don't have any hope.. Unfortunately.. | Most of the applications on CrackBerry are reasonably priced and you can always get an memory card to store your photos, music and even run some apps if you need more memory.
I don't think it's reasonable to purchase a BlackBerry and expect to have an Apple experience IMHO.
