My touch pro 2 has a better FULL QWERTY keyboard, as did my original Touch Pro.
My windows Pro 7 will too.

I'm a Blackberry user but not a RIM fanboy by any means. These phones are just behind the times and RIM is playing catchup. They will most likely be quality and be very popular, but they won't win over any new customers more than likely, just keep those who want to stay with the brand.

I would be very interested in the Dakota if I wasn't very satisfied with my 9700 and not in the market for a new phone.

blackberry has one feature that attracts a lot of people, and that is BBM.

without BBM, blackberry would be nothing. not even the keyboard would save it.

there's 13, 14 year old kids getting blackberry's just for BBM. when i was that age, i didn't even have a cell phone... (and cell phones did exist)

on top of that, everytime i log into facebook i see

"blackberry, i give up"
"my blackberry won't charge"
"my blackberry won't work"
"BBM is broken again"

etc.

i just laugh. too many problems with BB when i had them, especially pulling the battery once every few days cause it would freeze. i remember my friend saying "it's normal to pull the battery"

lol, i've never had to restart my iPhone. my iPhone has never frozen on me.

iPhone/Android > All

iPhones and Androids are great for people who want to play games and install 1000's of useless/worthless apps.

BlackBerry is for people who use their phone to actually get work done.

nothing compares to BlackBerry in enterprise. BlackBerry on BES runs circles around iPhone and Android.
