Interesting

Its about time blackberry countered with something interesting for the social crave thats hit America.

I'm glad to see them not make the same mistake as palm by waiting too late to react the new craze.
How do you figure that?

Palm came out with WebOS over a year ago...

Similar to the iPhone....how?

Because it supports multitouch- which so many others do? Because it can swipe, like- you guessed it- so many other phones.
I swear these rags just put iPhone in there just to garner headlines. If it has the same features as every other phone, then I think it's safe to leave iPhone out of the article.
Agreed. That "similar to the iphone" blurb was the most unnecessary/stupid part of the description. I suppose my old Motorola Startac is similar to the iphone as well, since they can both make phone calls.

Nice

🤤 This sounds like a dream come true for me! I love my blackberry and I cannot imagine functioning without it as far as business goes. My only gripe with RIM is that they have the lamest browser in the wireless universe, it's worse with 5.0 on my Tour. I'm wondering how this being based on Apple's Webkit will make the end user experience like. I hope it's better looking than the prototypes on Crackberry.......
You can always change your default browser on your blackberry to either internet explorer or Firefox. You do have that option available. Do u know how to find it and change it???????
