I switched to blackberry and have been completely happy. I enjoy it and don't care about the Iphone. I don't even like the ipad.

Has touch screen and slide out keyboard, voice recognition, Evi (Android version of Siri), etc. And I have my personal email, business email, etc. on it. So you can clutch your crackberry until you die, but newer phones do it all with bigger screens and more options. I'm perfectly happy with my Android phone.

I want tools, not toys. And I want a phone that voice dials the right person, or at least asks if it's not sure, and a phone that doesn't give you a static shock if you hold it naturally, and where the microphone isn't a single tiny hole positioned exactly where your finger would naturally go. I want GPS that works and knows the names of the streets, I want to sync to Outlook without Exchange and without exposing my contacts to "the cloud", I want a phone that doesn't need a midday charge to make it through the workday. I'm going to miss Blackberry - these others are all crap. I wish I'd gotten a torch instead of this HTC Arrive... Blackberry is a better smartphone for *work* than Apple, Android, or Windows.

And let me state for the record that I'll be glad we won't have to hear the Hill people referring to them as "crackberries". "You get it? Because I use the damn thing so much, it's as addictive as crack cocaine" Ho, ho, ho! Hilarious! Good riddance.
