    As many of you know, tomorrow (June 4th), is the official release of the HTC Evo. It seems like a lot of us will be jumping ship. Definitely not good news for BB (actually RIM).

    Check this.

    See you on the other side!

    To be honest I'm a little worry about the battery life issue (and a couple of other things as well like lack of physical keyboard), but I'll figure something out. Also, it was not easy to make the decision to change but I think BB has not done much to bring an exciting phone out. And I get it, it is a phone targeted mostly to business people so they don't need the flashy stuff. I really enjoyed while it lasted and I do hope BB (er..RIM) comes out with a phone and an OS (beyond 6.0) that are more exciting and fun. But the again, functionality vs. flashiness (and functionality).

    This is a possible scenario too. We'll see. The good thing is that if in 30 days, for any reason I'm not happy with the Evo, I can switch for the 9650. Who knows?

    LOL! I doubt one informal website survey spells the end of days for RIM.

    I WAS thinking about a switch to ATT and the 9800, but I'm not sure I like the new rates. I'm not even thinking about the Evo, but I'll look at LTE when it comes around.

    Do you know if T-Mobile will be getting the 9800? My contract with AT&T is not over until next year, but I'll be looking to switch if I cannot keep the unlimited data if I get a new device.

    Right there with you. But seriously, I've heard some excitement over the 4g phone, but nothing crazy. Overhyped

    No one knows this... Or I should say at least no one here knows this.

    Why do geeks think that they outnumber hollywood, business and corporate users or government employees ? RIM could care less. Not to mention markets outside of Europe and North America where the BB is spreading like a plague and making RIM wealthier each month.
    There is not a shred of worry for them, given that rich people in suites that run companies like FORBES use BB almost exclusively.

    You can tell which device is most envied by how many compare or insult it. Like Dale Carnegie said, nobody kicks a dead dog.
    Iphone
    Iphone 3g
    Iphone 3gs
    Palm pre (whatever!)
    Droid
    Droid Incredible

    Now we must endure the "EVO is out and I'm all over it!" crowd.

    Next month it will be a new phone, same old trolls. Let's all share a group yawn.

    I'm actually amazed at how many smart phones people buy. All these posts about jumping ship or coming back. I might not like a phone I have but I'm not going to go out and get a different one and pay hundreds for it. For all the people out there who say "The evo will take customers from BB", just remember that the people jumping ship already bought a BB and as soon as some new shiny comes out they will probably jump ship again. In the end most of these people will end up buying a bunch of smartphones and helping all the companies.

    Rumor has it, that the 9800 has a period of exclusivity (3 months has been suggested) with ATT, and then it is believed it is coming to other carriers, BUT nothing has been announced at all, so it's all just speculation.
