Now that Ihave been "playing"around on the 8800, I must ask if there exists out there an app to transfer data frm the device to the storage card? Similar idea to file explorer? Thnx

my gut feeling is that RIM are smart people and know about this. However I think that its all down to security.
90% of their devices and all their software is sold to corporates. RIM was made by companies precisely because they implemented security from day one, along with ease of use. They can't allow email copying to storage card as this could compromise their relationship with internal IT depts.
As much as we love them for email (my BB is a personal one, not a company one) we need to face up to the fact that RIM is not really manufacturing consumer devices. Eventually I believe they will have three ranges, a Pearl developed consumer device range, a corporate range (which the 8800 falls firmly within - albeit with a lifestyle twist) and a 3rd party software business, that will work with WM & Symbian.
If you want the best email serivce with great diary sync and messaging facilities then BB is the way to go. But if you want an everything, tweakable device, you need to go with HTC or a Nokia E61. Apple is just a load of typical over priced under powered froth at this point and unfortunately PALM is no longer a player.
