Blackberry Forum/Platform Question...
Since you have a WinMo Forum and an Android Forum down below on the front page, could you maybe move the Blackberry "platform" to the front page as well. I'm pretty sure there are more Blackberry users than ICQ users.
It would just make it more convenient than having to dig to get to it.

Blackberry's os is exclusive to Blackberry. From a platform stand point it wouldn't make much sense in those categories any more than Samsung's native platform fits in. Of course the thing that makes Blackberry different is that other phones can use the Blackberry service if not the OS.
I'd say it makes sense where its at, but its sad its buried so deep.

It's a platform that's exclusive to RIM, and therefore essentially proprietary, unlike platforms that are licensed to other manufacturers.
Also, we already have a RIM forum, so there would be quite a bit of redundancy there.

I think he was asking that it be moved from the Manufacturer section to the platform section, thus it wouldn't' be redundant.
I would like to see this too, if possible and not too much of a headache, since even though it is proprietary, it does cover a large part of the market, especially the smart phone market. It is rather inconvenient having to dig for it, and it fits all the requirements of being in the platform section, it is a platform/OS.
As well, isn't the Palm OS proprietary too?

The way our site is set up, each major manufacturer has a forum, and it can only be in the manufacturer section, so it is linked to that manufacturer's phone lineup. Therefore we couldn't move it to the platforms section.
Palm did license their OS. Samsung made a whole line of Palm OS phones for a while.

Ok, makes sense, coding really sucks when trying to link like that.
And I didn't know that about Palm and Samsung, were the phones any good? Or is it forgotten history for a reason?(I am fairly new to the phone world, but do love research)

The phones were fine. The OS has been dying for a while, though. They've been promising a new Linux-based replacement since 2004... it has yet to materialize.
...
Yeah, I saw that some of the newest Palm handsets were running the WinMo OS, and read a couple reviews comparing the newest BB OS to the Palm 600 OS, in that it has finally hit its peak potential, and will need to be revitalized in some new form, either Linux because it is so open, or something else like Symbian.
