You can only fix so much with software, the hardware issues are the ones we have to live with for 2 years.

Do you really think that BT 2 can be hacked in any realistic amount of time? Hacking 256 bit encryption on a moving target is not easy and takes some time. I am about as paranoid as they come, do really sensitive stuff and with BT2 I do not worry. Are you actually using your BT for something so sensitive that someone would really want to hack you? Are you being followed?????

I agree that the original BT was a mess, but the new version seems to be rock solid on security. The BT organization recognized the problems with Ver 1 and fixed them in Ver 2. 73

But need i remind you that there were multiple touch screen devices out before the iphone and when the iphone launched it was not perfect. Give the storm some time to get moving and it will surpass the iphone.

And as for having as many apps as the iphone. . . I honestly hope there will never be that many apps. If i wanted a toy i would have gotten an iphone to listen to music and play games rather then email and phone calls. Don't get me wrong having a ton of apps to choose from is nice but why in the world would I need a fake Koi pond on my phone?

I have to agree, not exactly sure what people are looking for, but my storm works as well as just about any other BB I have owned. Sure there have been a issues, but nothing that .83 has not improved. And I also agree, if I wanted a toy I would have bought the iphone. People I think need to remember what the roots of the BB is, that is solid push e-mail, phone and messaging capability. BBs for years where used primarily in the business world because they were rock solid, and dependable, and still are when you get down to the basics. It is transition to a non-business device that has both opened an additional market for the BB, but also led to some problems getting all these extras (cameras, MP3 players, etc) to satisfy the masses.
