I laugh at the assumptions that the Iphone is the be all to end all, especially for a hand held so new. Seems like the "trendy" thing to do, and you know what happens to trends, they fade away unless they grow. I think there will be 10 X the Iphone killers than there will be a Blackberry killer.

My wife has an iPod touch and I find typing on it to be horrible. I am assuming typing on an iPhone is the same. My success rate on the iPod Touch is about 75% vs about 98% on my BB curve which has the worst keyboard of the 3 BBs I have owned - mainly because it is the smallest.

Other than that I-wish-I-bought-some-cheap-RIM-stocks regret, I don't feel anything about it It's nice to have a BB, it has its pros & cons, but iPhone deserves more attention. If iPhone can offer so much more with the same price, and does email well - iPhone over any BB anyday Imagine both iPhone $500 and Bold $500 from Rogers, which one would one pick? iPhone for me.. but imported from USA as $500 is way overpriced I so agree with the one-trick pony view, that’s how I view RIM.
