Nah I have to agree with Ben about Windows Mobile "Smartphones" They are POSs for sure. I will occasionally buy one hoping that they have improved things & then the second it freezes (& they ALWAYS DO) I quickly send it back. I also agree with Miranda to a point that a virtual Keyboard is somewhat better for those who don't do a lot of typing or emails. Apple has that hands down. BUT what RIM does best is email & lots of it. Now they are starting to come out with some more consumer based models & starting to have more success in arenas that they didn't before. He is right that Apple has brought more attention to the smartphone but if you are just the average consumer, not a corporate customer when you walk into the store with CC in hand & pair up an iPhone next to an 8830 or an 8310 etc more than likely you will go home with the iPhone (although RIM has a somewhat simple interface the iPhone just has that part THUMBS down). I however, am the customer who loves both push email AND multimedia capabilities. So I have to have a great keyboard or else the device just doesn't work for me. RIM needs to openly acknowledge that Apple has made inroads where they could not. (I don't expect M$ to admit anything lol, they put out Vista as an upgrade didn't they?)
