Crapberry

When I changed jobs last year, I had to switch from my iPhone to a Blackberry... I also had to switch from Exchange to Lotus Notes, but that's a story for another time...

I've decided they got the name wrong. Black implies cool and sleek. This smartphone is neither.

Maybe I was spoiled by the iPhone interface, or the simplicity of my Moto Razr before that, but I find the RIM interface clunky. I had a RIM text pager 10 years ago with the same thumbkeyboard, so that isn't exactly foreign to me, but the rest of the system navigation is a pain to figure out at times.

I also hate the trackball... Mine jammed on me a couple weeks ago, rendering the smartphone features of the device useless. Granted, T-Mobile was able to swap it out in the store, but I have yet to have required service on either my iPhone 2G or Razr....

Even with the trackball, the browser is a pain to use compared to Safari or Opera.

Its a turd with a keyboard.

They should have called it the DingleBerry....
