Completely useless. I actually had it on the counter and my fist raised to smash the turd.
I can't say how ANYONE can say it is better for business purposes. I used to think the one thing is the typing was easier, NOPE, its fataing annoying.
I hadn't used the BB in 2-3 years and I don't notice any change, the clit ball is gone.
Can any IT folks explain why a company actually chooses the BB for its employees over the iphone? Cost I assume is the only factor?

I agree with you on the attachment issue, but for *actual* business the blackberry is better. Things like finding a contact, setting an appointment, typing an email are much easier on the blackberry.
I know that each little point by themselves doesn't seem like much. Frankly if I were a 15 year old with 25 contacts it wouldn't even be a care of mine. I probably have about 2000-2500 contacts in my phone though, and seriously apple you are going to make me scroll through everyone whose name begins with "S" until I get to the guy? (And thats after pressing the miniscule little "S" on the right hand side!). Gimme a break.
The calendar on the iphone is also just not user friendly. Again if I were using this for personal stuff I might not care....but you can't move day to day by swiping and when you do pick a day you can't just touch where you want an appointment. It just picks some random time on the day, or maybe somewhere near the time of day it is now? Either way...IIRC the old Palm units had a way for you to set an appointment that was easier than this!
As far as typing, don't even start with the great touch keyboard. The auto-correct on those things is bloody atrocious! How you would ever use that to type out a reasonably lengthed email is beyond me.
Realistically what all of these corporations need to do is sit down with the users and actually see what would make the products more user friendly. The best thing out there is probably a combination of the two, or maybe it doesn't exist at all...
