I wish rim would bring out a big *** phone with a massive screen, comfortable keyboard and lots of memory+ built in office application for editing documents. I think the ideal size would be similar or larger then nokia E61.
I want a true laptop alternative where I can open spreadsheets, edit them and then backup them on my desktop when I get home:)
Anybody agree?

It's called a netbook, you can find them almost anywhere.
Nope, I want rim to make one that can do phone too. I'm on a motorcycle all day every day and I already have too many things to charge before work, phone, gps, laptop, bluetooth headset etc
It would be good if rim can sell me a device that can do all those things.
I'm afraid I can't go back to other smartphones after trying blackberry, the email is soooo good and fast.
I might be a bit of an exception tho:)

So you want a RIM netbook is what you're saying, with a phone.
I can't see the use of a phone in such a large device though, the only practical way to use the phone is bluetooth headset or wired headset. From a marketing point of view it will never happen.
And I think you are one of the only exceptions here. ;)
I'd have to agree with Radius.
The device you're describing is painting a visualization for me of a device that is too bulky to be transported conveniently (without a case/bag). That will be a deal-breaker the majority of users.
The answer you want is "netbook w/some 3g pcmcia card + some other tiny tiny phone"
Sorry, what I meant was I want a blackberry phone similar or bigger to nokia e61 that has the capabilities of a netbook out of the box, not having to install and buy applications, I just use spreadsheets and pdf for my work really and most of all email, and I have to hear it come in and read it fast.
I had a nokia e61 for a while and I liked the size and form of it. Slightly bigger would be ideal.
What were the older blackberrys like size wise ? Never seen one but from the pics I see on the net they looked massive:)

I agree with the rest....sounds like a netbook!
That actually might work for me, assuming netbooks don't run vista would outlook express sync well with bis & imap? Windows mail from vista can't sync the calendar, just contacts.
Don't worry guys, I know I'm a bit of an exception, and man I got some stick when I had the e61, my wife called it my calculator:)

The perfect size would be the Bold! RIM needs to come out with a BB the same size and dimensions as the Bold....
Windows 7 RTM.
Which doesn't actually come with a native mail application, I'm told.
Just use Thunderbird or something else that is open source. I bet you'll find BB compatibility there.
belfast i agree with you. i am still using my old pocketpc with my blackberry. i too had a e61! i loved that phone. and if i could get the e61i to work for verizon, the blackberry would be in the drawer collecting dust
E61 actually supported bis, it was working ok but not as good as my 8320 and no BBM:(

Storm 3 maybe? LTE, wifi slide out keyboard and tons of app memory? These are dream specs and in no way represent anything RIM has planned for the storm 3.

pkcable yes and yes, and amen
Straight answer: Most users would not find the size appealing and generally would perfer to edit docs on a laptop or PC.
Smart a$$ answer: Netbook and hot glue your BB to the top.
Sorry I have a mean streak today and lashed out.
There's another thread on this forum about the older blackberrys and if I could have the top left one in the photo but with bolds functions I would buy it tomorrow:)
