And by the way this topic should have been somewhere else I would think. Why is it "Rumor Mill"?
Because SP2 isn't out yet?

And yes, several offerings outside the US and Canada existed for Symbian to do push/push-like email. Problem is, they've been absent from the US market. In fact, a few of them refuse you service if you're in the United States! I believe it was "Duality" or "Smartner" that I had to tell them I lived in France.

At any rate, the iPod experience is vastly superior to any other portable music player. Are you saying that the experience on a BlackBerry is worth a premium?

I don't know that it is - the devices themselves are un-inspired and don't provide you with nearly as many features as other devices - are people going to go pay a premium for that?
