It may not have the hardware specs, the apps, and the glamor to match, but I look at my BB like a swiss army knife that gets the job done, particularly with BIS, email, messaging, security, and utility apps.
I get mad when I think that the specs can and should be better. And the battery life excuse does get tiring when I hear it. But in the end, that longer life is a plus, and the roadmap def does look promising.
I dont think anyone is looking for a BB thats on parr with the new 4g droids coming or.... or even an iphone 5 this summer, but I think if it actually made an attempt to come close to that and still have its amazing platform capability, thats all thats needed to make a lot of us very happy. I think 2011 is gonna be a pretty good year
