hmmm, for some reason I can't reply directly to @gaius' comment. I find the I love my BB argument interesting. While he's right, I don't understand the attraction for these people.

I've been doing some BB development lately using a Storm II. Compared to the iPhone 3GS, it's a flying turd. I wonder if these BlackBerry lovers just haven't tried an iPhone or Android device.

Maybe I would think differently if I was testing on a keyboard device like a Bold, but I can't imagine it would change my opinion that much.

A good portion of them are women with long nails, who can't use capacitive touchscreens very effectively, especially for typing.

The BB's UI is garbage, but the iPhone really misses a big point on missing a real keyboard.
