Please show me where I said that RIM is not keeping Apple in mind when creating future products? Every phone maker has Apple on their minds, not because the iPhone is the greatest phone ever, but because we live in a world where people are blind sheep. These manufacturers need to come up with ways to show potential customers to get their product. Not everyone needs a Blackberry, and not everyone needs an iPhone.
Let’s see, show me a phone that has:
a) 3.5" GLASS touchscreen
b) at least 4GB internal storage
c) 480x320 screen resolution
d) orientation sensor
The HTC Touch Diamond nor the Sony Xperia X1 count since they are not technically out yet under a service provider. In fact, those two handsets were the result of Apple coming to the table with an evolutionary product a year prior.
I guess you are a sheep if you want to have a device that is greater in the categories that I stated above than any other device out there. What morons they are!! :roll:
Greatest is not decided by features. Greatest is decided by what you need. You wouldn’t cut it in sales if you tried to sell every person an iPhone that walked through the door. If you weren’t such an AT&T/iPhone fan boy you might have understood what I was saying.
:lol: @ Fanboy reference. Look who’s talking Mr.I-Drank-The-Verizon-Koolaid.
Yes, everyone does not need an iPhone but for the TOPIC OF THIS THREAD, Let’s focus on what someone in IT/Executive would NEED for a handset.
camera
internet access
large screen to view the web on the road or when away from a computer (3+ inches)
broadband (3g)
high resolution screen (QVGA or better)
VPN connection & Remote Desktop
Enterprise Email support (Exchange, Lotus Notes, etc)
Show me ONE Verizon handset that has a better than QVGA screen that can do all that?
browsing the web on QVGA blows.
meh, I rarely use the web
Why would an executive need a camera? Real executives get Broadband cards and bring their laptops with them on the road.
Hahhaha, for all the features I listed, you comment on the camera…
Fucking lame…
LOL @ 1987…
true about the broadband card though. the curve/8830 are fine for probably like 95% of business executives. if they REALLY need more out of a phone they should have a laptop/data card.
idk, i think the 3g iphone will be pretty awesome (as a phone) but i think in the business world they wont pass rim, unless they release something that targets those users.
Blackberry Enterprise Server > * for business
