I really do not see how both Andriod and Apple are just sooooooooooo far ahead of RIM.

The iPhone has flaws just as well as the BlackBerry. Whether each phone is better then the other is fully dependent on the users needs plain and simple. If my battery runs out and I can't put a second one there is a problem for me anyway but not for the typically iPhone user. I've filled up a 16 GB SD on my BlackBerry and I will probably buy a 32 GB SD card when they get released or come down in price.. I will not have to buy a whole new device.

Ya'll will disagree with and probably make sarcastic remarks about this post and that's ok, it's still true.
BlackBerry may not be as "high-end" as the apple or andriod, BlackBerry doesn't really have that "wow" factor anymore, but as an IT Professional I'll be damned if any tells me the iPhone or andiod is a good enterprise smart phone period.

So their a bigger picture then just "wow" look how cool the iPhone/Andriod is. (I've messed with the phone and they are cool.. but the Blackberry suits my needs)
