BlackBerry OS 6 hands on

Okay, so the reviews are in on the new Blackberry Torch and well, they are lukewarm to say the least. This is great for business users who don't have an option for their corporate e-mail other than a Blackberry, but it certainly doesn't hold a candle to the Iphone. And let's face it, neither do the android phones for a couple of reasons. The first being pricing. When I went to T-mobile to consider upgrading my phone, the best they have is the New Samsung Vibrant for $199 with a 2 year contract. Why would I pay that, when I can transfer to AT&T and get an Iphone for the same price? The second reason is advertising. Shopping for a Samsung Vibrant or a top of the line HTC phone doesn't tell me how they compare to an Iphone. The first thing my b/f wanted to know is if he could load his Itunes stuff on there. Heck if I knew. It doesn't say anywhere in the product material, which means if it does do it, you will need a third party app and it won't be flawless. So for now, stick with your Iphones and let everyone else play catch-up.
