Michael HepplesFormer ModeratorFood for thought.
Have you bought a car recently? Maybe a new PC?
Go take a look at the difference between last year's car and this year's, pick your maker. What has really been done to it? A couple features added, some things improved, and it's now the (insert make and model here) 2010 edition.
And yet it's new and improved, and much preferred over last year's model. And people will buy it, because of those improvements.
Nothing different than what you are ranting about here.04-26-10 03:00 PMLike 0 -

I never understand why people rant about RIM not coming out with anything new or different. What they have works for them.
The closest thing to different they did was the Pearl Flip, and how did that do? (Granted it works for some. I had one for awhile.) But overall, it flopped.
So why come out with "different"?04-26-10 03:07 PMLike 0 -

... go get another phone that has the non same old boring features and looks different from the last one like say Iphone... or the Iphone 3G... or the Iphone 3GS.. they all look way different from the previous model and have absolutely brand new features the previous ones did not.at this point why does rim even release new phones?? they all look the freaking same with the same boring features. all they do is ad a trackpad give a new number and wow the big new device!!!! please rim is gonna fade back into only corporate where i think it belongs smartphones are changing and rim is stuck. keep up the bad work rim soon to be palm.

They want it to substitute for their computer. Which is silly since it's a PHONE. (Although I know there are some crackberrians on here who don't have a traditional computer. I'm always impressed with that! Haha. Don't know how I'd survive off just my berry.)04-26-10 03:19 PMLike 0 -

+1. If Im not mistaken we all have the choice to buy whatever phone we want. Why buy a phone and bash it? Here's a novel idea-if you dont like a particular device, dont buy it. If it doesnt meet all your needs and expectations, dont buy it. Get a droid or an iPhone, I'll stick with this 9700.04-26-10 03:23 PMLike 0 -

If you want a big change then that's what competition is all about. The iPhone, BB, Android; all bring different things to the table. If you are bored then maybe it is time for a change, nothing wrong with that. That's why I have both an iPhone and BB.04-26-10 05:11 PMLike 0 -

I don't know about you but for me.. "the same old boring features" now includes 512 MB memory and an updated camera! I have waited two years for a berry with these features. Try being happy for the 89 million (or more) of us who have had a Curve 8330 for 2+ years and needs a change!at this point why does rim even release new phones?? they all look the freaking same with the same boring features. all they do is ad a trackpad give a new number and wow the big new device!!!! please rim is gonna fade back into only corporate where i think it belongs smartphones are changing and rim is stuck. keep up the bad work rim soon to be palm.
Geez...people are so negative.
PS I have no idea how many of us actually have Curves. I made up the number 89 million for effect...lol04-26-10 05:23 PMLike 0 -

I don't know. Windows Mobile devices can substitute a laptop in many situations. Even full Outlook support; which is a pipe dream for RIM while BES is king.===== QUOTE ldeighme ====
Good Grief. I am always amazed by the ranting on the devices and RIM on this forum. Look back at the devices RIM had out 5 years ago. You will see a big change compared to what is available today. What more do you want your smartphone to do? Just curious...

Hey take this advice: go away and buy a iPhone or whatever other device and bash this one.

I feel as though the BlackBerry sold more than the iPhone because the BlackBerry smartphone is offered on every major carrier. The iPhone is exclusive to AT&T. The iPhone is also all touch screen. At the time when I was looking at smart phones, if the iPhone was on Verizon I probably would have gotten one. I did not want to switch carriers. I also get good service with Verizon. I've had good service from my BlackBerry, but I didn't have too many choices at the time with Verizon 2 years ago. I didn't care for the Palm, and the Windows mobile phones were getting negative reviews at the time. So I ended up getting the BlackBerry.
My Curve takes horrible pictures. I thought I had a defected unit when I first purchased it, until I saw that someone else's Curve yielded the same results.
The camera has always been slow to load, viewing pictures is slow and painful, YouTube videos are the size of a postage stamp, slow browser, memory leaks, see the hour glass more than I should, and having to do battery pulls.
I've yet to find anything that was worth getting over this 2 year span, until lately. The new Bold 9650 looks impressive, as well as the Android phones. If the new BlackBerry does not have those issues that I previously mentioned, then I will probably get it. If not, I'm not going to go through another 2 years of just settling when now we have good options out there.Last edited by cdf3; 04-26-10 at 09:31 PM.
