i couldnt concentrate on the new bb6 cos their dancing was so destracting:P

There's honestly no competition! Bb will never be able to compete with the iPhone! Never heard of anyone going from apple too a bb, but I have heard if plenty if bb users coming over 2 the darkside! Lol
-
lol they must be joking i didnt see anything innovative or new that would make a iPhone user jump over to Blackberry. honestly I'm sorry RIM but ur days are numbered more people will be going the other way from RIM to Apple or to Google or HTC so just sell ur company now lol. By the way the lyrics for that little commercial dont match up with their OS its not the future its their future and doesnt look all that bright to me.
Oh yea OS 4.0 will crush that but then again OS 3.1.3 crushes that already lol

BB are for the boring people. they're 3 years behind on competitors operating system.

Never, I buy iPhones, my wife buys BBs. I am the tech for both. Plus a recent article points to 4 out of 10 BB users willing to switch to iPhone and almost none the other way, research done by a company based in MV Cali and Toronto.

Also, 3GS is slick, iPhoneHD will be even faster, just apply a BB6 theme to it.

I did this.
I went from iPhone to BB. It was my first BB, and I bought a 9700.
Never been so happy. It's a business phone, with a full, physical qwerty keyboard, packed with consumer features. BB Internet Service simply rocks (push GMail is much better here than on iPhone) and it does already have things like multi-tasking.
And, most important of all, using the phone in the same way, my old iPhone 3G's battery lasted half day; this BB Bold stays on for 2 days without problems (I do never turn it off, while I used to turn off the iPhone at night).
Honestly, the only thing I miss from iPhone was a good web browser: but OS 6.0 is finally going to bring this. -
"...just apply a BB6 theme to it"
excellent solution

I'm sorry to all haters, buy I had an iphone, then a bb, and now an HD2 and nothing beats bb notification services, not even apple's push notification services, plus most of the app I tryed on the bb were seamesly incorporated into the OS functions. iPhone has many features, but I rather have a BB.

BB is so 2000 and late!
The OS is so boring they had to ass dancers and the dancing is just damn annoying and the song is terrible. Nothing about that video is good!

Typo:)

I'm not a hater but a practical user...
bb push? Just set gmail to push, server = mgoogle.com and it reliably pushes, add up to 5 nongmail addresses for gmail to fetch and they all push
Turn on push notifications for facebook, etc. Add Ashman's LockInfo and EVERYTHING is on your lockscreen (nothing comes close except Slidescreen on Android)
What else do you want?BB is good for physical keyboard, longer battery life, and I must admit better call quality but it is NOT a mini-computer in your pocket like iPhone and Androids.

yep your right....but it in a nice approach and a good effort on BB part...it flows nice and will fit into a bb fan boys life real nice...but i am ieverything all the way no contest...

I like the dancing better than the new BB6 interface.
-
seems like iphone features

Wonder why you are still reading this Alessandro S, if you are so happy with your BB you should not be here! From the video above it looks like your beloved physical keyboard is disappearing, so it's time for you to come back to the darkside!
-
I really can not say this is a good move. I got the blackberry not for fun but for more professional and business functions.
If fun why I dont wanna get a Iphone? -
That I just missed your blog. Now I know exactly what to look for in order not to lose all theirs avings. Thanks again and best regards.
