- I sure hope they do... somehow i think they dont... I want blackberry to succeed but its almost like they dont know where the mobile world is going. They seem to ignore the need for them to scrap their current os and design a new one with the same productivity but enhanced ui and a better platform to develop apps on.
Lets go Rim, Innovate and dont take 5 years to do it.
After the iphone changed the mobile landscape you should of held a meeting and come to the conclusion that your current os wont cut it, i don't care what people say the blackberry os is not competitive in today's market.
Your ancient architecture that your OS is built on cant work with what today's consumer's expect.
RIM Develop a OS that works with all your devices and develop the tools necessary for developers to build apps easily.
You dont even have flick scrolling, whats up with that?
Rim, hurry up, your 2 years late and counting.11-08-09 07:51 PMLike 0 -

- yeah probably the biggest thing is the magnum.... and i dont know where they might go from there. but hopefully they dont keep putting out phones that all look exactly the same just like jeffmvr said... all the same just minor differences, I have the 8900 and other than the 3g and the trackpad, the rest of the newer blackberries are exactly the same..... don't see something worth upgrading to right now. But i'm not saying i dont like the new phones, just saying they're all the same i love my 8900 it actually does everything like any other phone, probably not as flashy or pretty as any other phone but it gets the job done thats what i like about it. But yeah the magnum is probably going to be my next upgrade11-09-09 11:15 AMLike 0

Not going to happen. It will continue to evolve, time will tell who is making the right call. My money is solidly on Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie.
Each will find their following. Research in Motion will continue to earn money.
That is correct, they are all based on the same core applications. The User Interface is optimized for the trackball and keyboard for short cuts.
Translating that to a superior touch screen experience takes time, but they are doing it, and by all reports, doing it well.11-09-09 01:40 PMLike 0 - That is correct, they are all based on the same core applications. The User Interface is optimized for the trackball and keyboard for short cuts.

BlackBerry is hardly ancient, the entire architecture, Sun Java VM and the Network Operations Center are state of the art technology. Upgrading and expanding it has not been without it wrinkles, that has been a source of network outages.
Those outages make news because they are so infrequent and they are so critical to the emergency support infrastructure in everywhere.
Ask your neighbourhood Fire Fighter / EMS Response Personel, what do they carry? When there are lives at risk, it will be a BlackBerry, every time.

- Just because the platform is using current technology, doesn't mean the code base hasn't been hacked and patched for many, many generations of devices.11-09-09 02:48 PMLike 0
- seeing the announcements at the bb dev. conference today (open gl, flash, new theme platform) i'm thinking that we're about to see new life breathed into our beloved devices i think (i hope) that RIM is finally stepping up!11-09-09 02:48 PMLike 0
- It wouldnt surprise me if o.s 6 was released at the same time as the new browser and had been completly redesigned from the ground up to take advantage of new technologies and software11-09-09 03:40 PMLike 0

I don't know, what's up with that? I have no use for it, it is not core OS. It's CPU intensive graphics, much like the Windows Paper Clip.11-10-09 11:10 AMLike 0 - next year looks as bright as ever. more advances coming our way.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com11-10-09 07:58 PMLike 0 - Maybe I'm missing something, but all 3 generations of iPhones have looked the same without complaints. Not saying the iphone's aren't unique, but I'm not convinced that consistency is a bad thing.11-10-09 08:54 PMLike 0
- I deal with everything from Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Floods, and HAZMAT. So, while radios/pagers are great, blackberries make a big difference when distributing information - via text to multiple individuals and/or agencies. So, a lot of First Responders utilize whatever technology is afforded and/or available to them. I've had two Blackberries for work and three of my own. All of them have been used at one time or another while involved with emergency responses on a larger scale along with radios and pagers.
