Re: Trained? Really? said by PolarBear03:Yes, we've had that debate. All I have to say is, the term "Crackberry" exists for a reason. Yes. That reason is that they were the first to get mobile text messaging mostly right. People are no more addicted to them, specifically, as than they are addicted to TiVo or AIM over the other products in those categories. (I think you mistake people's addiction to communication for an addiction to a particular, rather lousy, product line.) And RIM/BlackBerry been resting their huge haunches on those laurels for many years now. It's long past time for them to disappear. I didn't expect it would be Apple to make that happen though.
Edit: To your last post, no, my Blackberry was several years newer than my old PocketPC phone, and it still stunk up the room. It felt like going from an airy forest to a prison. Yes, I've seen and worked on the even newer models and am still unimpressed.

P.S. WindowsCE/PocketPC is still a mess in its own right, but I'll take it over BlackBerry and Java any day.
Edit2: Word choice struck.
