some of you guys need to quit drinking the Steve Jobs koolaid,there is other phones out there, that are as good or dare i say better then the iphone, look around enjoy life, see the other side its not totally dark,, and on the other side you dont have to use itunes, yay,,
Coming from a Sarah Palin wannabe, your insults are meaningless. Your ability to be programmed by Apple and say stupid meaningless things parallels Palin exactly.
Really? So RIM is introducing a new product and trying to create lots of buzz because they don't care about profits?
Amazing.
I never said that. Of course RIM cares about profits. However, within the context of many comments of THIS SPECIFIC THREAD, whether Apple makes more money (they do) than RIM does not matter.
One more time, many of the posters are stating that RIM makes inferior products, targeted to "stupid" people (e.g., Prof Peabody).
If it is true that RIM's products are so completely inferior (again, as many posters have stated), then it behooves said posters to give a reason why RIM sells so many phones.
In other words, why would millions of people throw their money away on such patently inferior products? One more time, who makes more money is irrelevant to this specific question.
That is the question that both you and anantksundaram are avoiding.
would i get it over an iphone? no. would i get it over a blackberry? yes. Don't think i'd buy this over a droid either. Hmmm. Looks way cooler than a windows phone 7 though
a phone with a keyboard, a touch screen AND an optical 'trackpad'
I've thought about this a little more and I presume existing Blackberry Apps are designed for use with a trackpad. Long term maybe RiM could get rid of the trackpad and just use touch but in the meantime it is probably needed for backwards compatibility.

Good thought, as a supposed business phone many companies will insist on it
however, trying to be all things to all people doesn't appear to be ground breaking.
I'll admit I'm a 'fanboy' but I'm yet to see a truly innovative idea from the 'iPhone killers'

Good thought. Also, I wonder if it might also be because the browser does not have a full set of touch gestures yet. Or it could be that they are reluctant to give up a distinguishing hardware feature.

BTW, who's Keith Oberman?
You and that other fellow are avoiding my question, aren't you?
So, I'll ask again: RIM has the "second" highest profits from smartphones, after whom? (I'd be happy to give you a guess, if you want....
Apple leads in profits, and that is well established. OTOH, as I said, in terms of the comments made by many posters, that is irrelevant.

You're welcome.
Very cute.
GM was the biggest car manufacturer too.
Looks snazzy!

I could care less about what you said.
You butted in on a comment I specifically made in response to RichL's braggadocio.

If you think it is Nokia you need to be aware that they don 't make any phones as good as the iPhone so there is no comparison.
some of you guys need to quit drinking the Steve Jobs koolaid,there is other phones out there, that are as good or dare i say better then the iphone,
Yeah? What phone "out there" is better than the iPhone?
a phone with a keyboard, a touch screen AND an optical 'trackpad'
couldn't make up your mind?
or suffering from an identity crisis?
I wouldn't like to pull that thing out of my pocket
WOW RIM

That was a bit snarky, particularly when I was answering a question that you directed towards me right here
"You and that other fellow are avoiding my question, aren't you?

and you are still avoiding the question I asked.

Groan......
No, it's Apple.

Fox News is considered the most trusted news source in America
Oh, puhleaze...
By whom? Those that can't think, or those can and don't?

No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.
Second in smartphone profits compared to whom -- i.e., who's first?
Nokia is number one by a significant margin. Apple is third.
I think it has more to do with parents being able to afford the BOGO sales that have been available over the last year.
The kids are demanding the BB. BBM is simply better than texting and emailing on other phones.

Nokia is number one [in profits] by a significant margin. Apple is third.
You are totally wrong.
You are totally wrong.
Nokia sells more than twice as many smartphones as Apple does.
