You had your chance Blackberry.....
I have had an iPhone for years now (since Gen 1) and I was ready to move on to a blackberry. I wanted the keyboard, the multitasking, the great e-mail, and to switch to verizon but, I just can't do it. The new iPhone OS has everything I need, and the leaked picture of the new iPhone look amazing. The only advantage that I see blackberry having now is the verizon 3G network. I need a phone I can use more as a medical reference than a messaging phone. If the essex would have came out a month ago, I would have purchased, but it missed its chance. Sorry Blackberry.
Sincerely
Your Loss
