Blackberry has it right when it comes to size!
- I can't stand the enormous 4in screens and huge dimensions of android phones like the X and the evo. So out of all the complaints out there against blackberry, one thing I do have to give them is that they strike a perfect balance when it comes to size. Even the storm 2 with all its faults is perfect in size. Sure, as the tech advances, i would love to see more screen real estate within the given space, but as long as the over all size doesnt change, Blackberry will always have a thumbs up in that category.

- I meant the device size is the perfect size. Sure, BB screens are small, but we have no choice since we want that keyboard attached. So the tradeoff is screen size. But I still love the device size more than anything. It can be a 9780 or a 9000 size, its still smaller than those gigana droids u see. They look like mini ipads! Very unappealing if u ask me!
I think if the monaco remains the same size as the storm 2 or close to it, utilizes the screen real estate without too thick of a black screen border, it can be a winner in both the size and screen department

That's common sense. But the comfort factor of holding a 9700 is pretty awesome. Its just a joy to hold and to type on. I think the 8300 was to.

I'll save the videos for my 7" screen and use the BlackBerry for the things it does well. While there are those that insist that bigger is always better, that is their opinion. They can laugh all they want, troll, or roll on down the road. Enough is exactly that;Enough.

But at the end of the day, I rather my device's primary funtion be communication and its secondary or third for that matter, be watching video. The droid size is too big to be a comfortable communications device. I know u agree with me, and that's where I have to say BB has capitolized on. And I just pray they don't lose that concept and then try to change it. Let the BB touch compete on media capability. And a 3.7 will do just fine for what it will need to be able to do

we got it, u love ur android
now can we move on please?
im also tired of all these 4inch touchscreen phones coming out recently, i love my physical keyboard, and im excited about the dakota, physical keyboard, 2,8inch screen (little bigger compared to 9700) and touchscreen as well, gonna be awesome
it just seems like the "perfect" device, but as i said in another thread, to truly make it the "perfect" device it would need
dual core 1,2ghz
1gb ram
QNX
bigger LED (i really think the dakota LED is too small, love 9700 LED)
+front camera
but still, the dakota is just the device i really want, definitely getting it, and 2012 the qnx phones will be a huge success for RIM, at least thats what im hoping for
and yes 67tucker, we got it, you have to defend ur beloved android and bash rim, very mature xD04-05-11 05:53 AMLike 0 - 67tucker,

u should really grow up, i feel like im talking to a child
theres androidcentral for pple like you, you know?
2,8inch touch screen is stupid?
why? ever had one before so you can actually share ur experience with it or is it just another useless rim bashing statement?
you should remember that its not ONLY a 2,8inch touchscreen, you got a physical keyboard with trackpad as well
boring and exhausting talking to you04-05-11 06:39 AMLike 0 - of course ur allowed to speak of another platform, but how about not bashing RIM? its not like any of us here are bashing android

It's still fits in my pocket, is not heavy and works great for car navigation!
Reading email, including html, is pleasant. Not to mention video, pictures, YouTube and video calling all are better on a big screen.Last edited by chrisy520; 04-05-11 at 06:51 AM.

I like hearing BlackBerry, Android and iPhone defenders. Interesting to compare devices.04-05-11 06:55 AMLike 0 -
Fact is if you type a lot on a phone as I do the screen is bigger only half the time.04-05-11 08:20 AMLike 0 - avt123O.G.This was one of the things that annoyed me about the Storm2, picture this: you are on webpage/spreadsheet and you need to input on a field at the bottom of the screen, you touch it and the keyboard pops up and the field at the bottom is now up above the keyboard hiding the information above it that you could see before. Then it simply ads extra steps: show keyboard, hide keyboard scroll on the screen the keyboard goes away, show it again etc etc

Leave the personal attacks for somewhere else, we don't do them here at CrackBerry.compkcable and BlackStormRising like this.04-05-11 08:37 AMLike 2
- I feel you. But half the time is still more than none. Also, the majority of high end touchscreen devices have their keyboard open instantly when you want to type. Same when you go to hide it. It basically takes the same about of time as you would move your thumb from the trackpad to the keyboard or vice versa.04-05-11 08:44 AMLike 0
