Maybe you should ask at AppWorld.

RIM has the right to censor or remove anything they consider too stupid and unproductive. Apple fanboys screaming "iPhone FTW!!1!" over and over have no place there (or anywhere really).

Their site is a private site. Not an issue of freedom of speech

Firstly what's the point if your going to censor reviews is everything perfect,no let people read honest reviews and there own minds up
Secondly as for being an iphone fan boy I'm sorry but I the more I use my new blackberry the more obvious it becomes that it is second rate and we shouldn't except that it should be better

Apple censors reviews as well. As for the rest of your post, it hurts my brain to try to read it. Use punctuation.

Let me repeat: This site is NOT owned or operated by RIM. Complaining here will not help you.

We have a Rants and Raves forum for this kind of thing. Perhaps you'd get a better audience if you took your toe over there.

If you have already reached the point that you deemed the Blackberry platform inappropriate to accomplish your production tasks why on earth you're not moving away from it rather than ranting to RIM and here?

What is of paramount importance is not what a little logo on your handset says.
The most important thing for you should be to utilise the platform that can help you accomplish your production tasks most efficiently. If blackberry doesn't fit your usage, research for something that does.

Wouldn't that line of action be tenfolds more productive for you than using your time to inform RIM of their competition?

This is the bottom line. This thread can now be closed.

A "simple question" that doesn't have anything to do with this site.

I suspect that the main reason is that telling someone to buy an iPhone to see how something is done is not a constructive comment -- it is a cheap cop-out. I have seen critical reviews on that site that state WHY they are displeased with an app. That might be the difference. But then, so many people who lack basic communication skills find it easier to lob cheap and easy comments as opposed to articulate what they see as the problem. And, to be a bit critical, well-articulated comments do not appear to be your strong suit.

Yeah it's like people treat this site like it's all about Blackberries, RIM and anything associated with it.

STUPID people asking questions hoping that maybe someone here would have an answer... GEEZ.
