Since the iPhone was announced Blackberry users suddenly felt less special. Weren’t THEY the ones that were always connected, always on and always in sync? Flashing a Blackberry Curve or Pearl just didn’t make an impression anymore. But there was just no way we could switch from our trusted Blackberrys and get used to that innovative onscreen keyboard that the iPhone made such headlines with. As a RIM executive said

    Yep, no iphone killer here for sure. I would never ever switch back to such a complicated Blackberry or MS 6.x . iphone is by far the best cell phone, pda, smartphone ever designed with amazing web browser and functionality.
    Their is always room for improvement and specially in all 3G type phones. All of them are having issues right now but it will all be solved soon. Blackberry and iphone rule! But I prefer iPhone..
    I love it
