This person has used several BBs in 5 incarnations; the Palm in 2 until both seized; 2 LGs with vastly inferior interfaces, and even several unlocked GSM Nokias and a black market Sony/? from Japan (each with a 3-6 mp camera and other features not available in the US.) NONE could compare to the iPhone in ease of use, bugfree OS, ability to actually work the way I wanted, much less THE ABSENCE OF LOCKUPS! I have had to reboot every other smartphone regularly. The iPhone, NEVER! Moreover, the inability of apps on the PRE to load properly and be accessible was the last straw. I have downloaded over 230 apps so far, having to delete some to use others (160 +/- apps seems to be the current limit) and have NEVER had one that did not work. All the press about AT&T’s problems with the iPhone pale in comparison to the competition. I actually saw a Verizon BB stomped on and destroyed on the floor of the Las Vegas Convention Center because the owner (my client) could not access his email. When my client was offered the use of an iPhone to check his email, and when he was able to do so in 20-30 seconds, from a foreign carrier (AT&T), I was FLABBERGASTED! Bottom line: I check email in less than 5 seconds, for each of my 6 accounts, ANY time and ANYWHERE, easily. The iPhone detractors, naysayers, and open source believers, loathing closed network restrictions, have missed the boat this time. To freely access the Internet from a wireless device demands error free operation, malware protection, and invisible operation. iPhone ~ competition :: diesel ~ steam engine is the best analogy right now.

I get more than two days on my 8900. From what I understand, the Tour is just slightly behind. That’s much better than the Pre or iPhone.

Additionally, the Pre was only on sale for 24 days. It’s hardly a fair sales comparison since all of the Blackberries were on sale for the entire quarter.

I think Q3 sales may prove more enlightening. This data really doesn’t tell you anything at this point.

Lol. It’s TERRIBLE I have it and I’m currently on my 4th one. There aren’t many apps for it and if you do have an app( I have like 6), it just takes one to slow your phone down completely or make it freeze. It gets incredibly slow. I know 10+ people with it and all hate it because it’s so slow.

The curve, I definitely agree with there. I see EVERYONE with a curve and never get any complaints about it.
