You cleary don’t make six figures judging by your choice of grammar and sentence structure, but I digress.

Were you trying to spell clearly?

Just wondering.

I make well over 6 figures. My sentence structure and grammar are not the greatest at times. Who says you have to be a grammatical genius to make money? Also, why would I worry about my grammar and sentence structure if I’m posting a quick opinion on a forum? Weak argument dude; likely borne out of jealousy. Pfffft.

Actually, the iphone 3GS was a MAJOR disapointment and I dont know of anyone who camped out for that waste of a release (yes, I am an iphone owner). personally I will wait for them to make the iphone more useful before i “upgrade”.

As for Blackberry – is there a way to tell one from another?? – they all look the same and all do pretty much the same things – why not just give them numbers? They release a new one every week or so and simply mix up the applications – add a camera to one but take away the wifi – add world phone but take away camera – add this or that, take away 3G

Dont you ever just get sick and tired of it?? I’m not just sick of it, i simply dont care anymore. Blackberry should just get out of smartphones and buy a hockey team somewhere.

It’s actually a great phone, probably best reception and sound quality of any BB ever. Rogers must be shakin. Plus they aren’t getting this one HA HA.

I have to agree with all of you. You don’t need wifi on a blackberry. With it’s primitive browser and lack of usability on the web (other than messaging) wifi is just hassle that the average business yokel doesn’t need.

Like I said on an ealier post:

Reasons tour is a nice upgrade for blackberry users:

(much) Higher resolution screen.
Faster processor
More Memory
Better Camera
Rev-a 3G instead of Rev-0
Updated OS

I know blackberry users tend to get a little excited, but this is a pretty big upgrade, especially from the 8800 series. Think about the iphone 3GS. Kind of the same deal right? Good upgrades, but not a game changer. And people were camping OUTSIDE for that one!

Who needs wifi when you have an unlimited data plan.

Yeah, BLAH BLAH BLAH, What about when travelling?

Who wants to be constantly bothered with email when you are on vacation anyway. My laptop has Wifi, I’ll use that instead if it’s so important. If it’s a business trip I’ll have the laptop with me, and the nice thing about blackberry when roaming is that once you turn off all your apps from doing background updates and only leave email running it practically sips data. Even at $8/MB it’s just a few bucks a day to use for heavy email. Just don’t load images thats all.

Problem solved, Wifi no longer necessary. Not saying I wouldn’t mind having Wifi, but it’s really far from Fail. It’s not like being on Rogers or AT&T in the US. The CDMA coverage the Tour runs on is excellent. We don’t need Wifi to cover for an inadequate 3G carrier.

Us traveling business guys that make over 6 figures are ecstatic.

All the jobless yawners above need to get up earlier so they too can make a good living and move out of their parent’s basements.

Its all about choices
