Seriously...WTF is wrong...

[Dwnshft]

...with everyone in here?? There are more threads bitching about the S2, the S2 NOT getting OS6, or just RIM in general then there are threads about the actual use of the phone or the actual upgrades/improvements that can be made.

I'm just as ticked as the next guy that RIM seems to have been extremely short sighted with the latest product launch. But ya know what, at the end of the day its a PHONE people! Do you people work to buy cell phones and live and breathe your device? And yes, I get that this is an enthusiasts forum.

Why can't you guys just accept your berries for what they are and quit your bitching.

Thank you. My words exactly, just glad I read this thread before I posted my own. A lot of people just feel deceived that a fairly new device isn't getting the latest and greatest upgrade. Just because Verizon won't release it doesn't mean another carrier won't. Remember the os leaks from saskatel or TBayTel. It'll come folks, one way or another. It just might not run as intended (remember 5.0 on the 83XX or 88XX devices?), but I'm sure we will get it.

Don't like it. eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices and craigslist classifieds: jobs, housing, personals, for sale, services, community, events, forums add those to your favorites. That's why etfs were created, break your contract and get an evo or iphone if you want a new "toy" if you feel yours is outdated.

Why you may ask are people bittching?

I can't speak for anyone else, but I am bittching because I WAS one of the most devout Blackberry users on this site and I feel like RISM has taken one giant turd on me.

Why is that?

Because the company that I loved has let me down.

Because the company that I loved is greedy.

Because the company that I loved has about as much creativity and imagination as a corpse.

I purchased a device back in October that was a good device, and it has stayed that way. No real updates, no real support and to this day problems such as the BBM group chat are still broken. No webkit, no faster UI, no support for more apps.

Nothing, absolutely nothing.

"well you bought it as is, and there should be no obligation to the manufacturer to update it.

Bullshiit.

Google has been working on getting updates out for the G1 since the day it rolled off the line. The Eris and Hero will be able to run Froyo, the Iphone 3GS can run OS 4.

Don't give me that crap about you bought it as is. Every other company stands by their products and works to make them better.

RISM or Research in Slow Motion works to make you buy slightly upgraded half asss devices like the 9800 and the future Storm 3. The Droid rolled out with a 5 MP camera a month after the Storm 2 an its 3.2 and now Android is up to 8 and probably within a few months will be up to 10. Some Android devices can even record in HD. RISM has finally rolled out a Blackberry with a 5 MP camera. Again stuck in 2009.

The icons in OS 6 are a slightly and I use the term slightly loosely upgraded version of the Bold icons from 2008 pathetic. They couldn't even come up with a nicer looking set of icons, while Samsung, Motorola, and HTC can come up with their own versions of Android icons RISM can't even bother to find some out of work Art Major and pay them a few thousand dollars to upgrade that out of date piece of shiit icon set from over 2 years ago.

Their new work of art 9800 uses a form factor made popular...wait scratch can't really say popular, that the beloved Palm Pre made infamous. Wonder what HP thinks of that form factor. A form factor that RISM would have to use because it incorporates that damn Blackberry full QWERTY. IF they are still in business in 60 years when teleporters finally get going a RISM made teleporter will still have that damnn QWERTY keypad.

As they come out with updates for 6, it will probably drag this device down, because again, RISM is unwilling to go high tech and it is still using the processor they shoved into the 9700 a device that they will soon be replacing because it can't run 6, or it will run 6 half assed, becaused by the time they stick 6 in you might be able to run a solitaire game and the OS.

I can go on and on and on if you would like?

Is it that difficult for them to use a faster processor? Is it that impossible for them use a better camera or a higher resolution screen? Is it that impossible for them to just stick 1 gig of memory into the damnn thing so that the device doesn't go completely out of date after 9 fricking months?

No it isn't.

RISM is one of two things, either incompetent or greedy and I will not stand by a company any longer that are either one of those things.

Bye RISM enjoy the money you have received from me won't happen again.

I will miss push email though.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I could keep doing this all day hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ok now I am tired of it.

I highlighted the area that made me laugh so hard. No I don't remember 5.0 on the 88xx series and 83xx series because the only devices to get 5 out of all those devices were the 8330 and the 8350. That was it, and it ran no better than 4.5 so again

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

And the Droid X is no toy, you can recieve E-mail set tasks, uses Memo's AND Docs to Go works just fine on it, so tell me again how much of a toy it is, when I need to go online and get some specific information for something on the road, I would much rather have the Android browser than the lame Blackberry browser.

I have just one question...wth does "RISM" stand for? I've heard of RIM, and I know they are "RIMM" on wall street, but I don't know "RISM".

perhaps you are referring to About RISM

[pkcable]

Anyone ever try 4.5 on the 87XX devices??? That was an adventure too. It worked, but DAMN it was slow. Some carriers still released it, but Verizon decided (wisely in my opinion) not to release it. Although I DID put 4.5 on my 8703

webkit will address the "lame BB browser" issue

[trustno1]

dave, I was also unaware what RISM stands for but Valace went on to explain it means research in slow motion. LOL hit the nail on the head

[tdawg2008]

And the only reason I said droids and iphones are toys are because they have so many useless apps. Soundboards.....fart apps....an app to make clapping noises? Come on. Waste of memory.

ah. he's a real jokester. next time, he might want to put an explanation in his sig line to alert the rest of us to his inside joke. He writes so verbosely, I'm not about to read his every word. thanks for the explanation!

If RIM will release the Webkit browser for S2, I think that will appease most users. IMHO.
