I like the keyboard, stability of the OS, the ease of use and the nice screens, the rest is just the "icing on the cake" and I'm sure that if most of us are completely honest with ourselves we don't really NEED a Blackberry, we WANT a Blackberry. Now grant you kids don't need all of the BB functions either but A Blackberry is 1st and foremost a "Messaging Machine" and in my opinion that goes for Text messaging too. That's what the kids really care about. JMHO.
