Why are there no full email clients for BlackBerry?
Like many people I was surprised to get a BlackBerry and find that the default email client is limited to basically an email pager. No IMAP folders, no HTML, no previous emails. I expected to be able to manage my emails, not just read and reply to the latest ones.
After having my BlackBerry for 4 months I'm positive there is no full email client that actually works. Tiggit has a nice feature list but is so buggy it's unusable. Same with LogicMail. And they both look like their UIs were designed by a developer, which I'm sure they were. A few misc "email readers" and utilities, but nothing substantial.
My question is, why? There are clearly enough people that want these features. A solid email client with the features every other platform has (e.g. iPhone) should make a killing. There isn't even an email category in the app store. Thousands of tiny utilities and duplicate apps that can't possibly be making decent money. Why hasn't anyone created a full email client yet and started ranking in the real money?
