Agreed on the battery piece. I carry an extra one at all times. That same complaint will hurt adoption of the MacBook Air. Especially as the Lenovo X300 has a drive and removable battery.

That is an interesting list. If they focused on the enterprise segment, it would certainly open up some eyes. Many of those issues brought up are things I’d like to see. The other would be the ability to swap out a battery. Sales people don’t have time to sit there and wait for a charge. Any tethering would certainly put a hit on the unit regarding power consumtion.

As for the BlackBerry being on top for some time to come, I would have to agree. I am the biggest iPhone fanboy that you can imagine. I have an Apple tattoo. I dropped my BlackBerry 8700 for an iPhone the day they came out and for personal use, have not looked back.

I have to admit though that I was in between contracts when I bought my iPhone. When I moved to a new gig (IT project manager) i tried to use my iPhone for business and as much as I hated to, I had to get a new BlackBerry (8300) so that I could get my job done.

I don’t doubt that Apple will get the iPhone ready for the enterprise before it’s all said and done but I think that they truly are still targeting the consumer market where they are crushing the BlackBerry.

Why do you keep making suggestions which you continue to say your going to do but in the end troll yourself again and again?

“Don’t pay attention to him. Just ignore him” WHY? Will that make everything OK? Will that make verizon NOT cripple our RIM Blackberry’s? Sorry you’ve been proven wrong so many times “ignoring” is your next step in desperate measures to distort and make the FACTS and TRUTH go away. Guess what the FACTS and TRUTH aren’t going anywhere.

“Of course it was real, and yes Apple went to VZW first.” REALLY? Again where are the FACTS of this and yet Again I ask for PROOF not from the mouth of a verizon employe, or based on a story fed to the press by verizon. YOU couldn’t give the proof before and we’re still waiting. Further your telling us your so gullible (we already know for a fact you are) all a corporation needs to do is feed FUD to the press and you believe it as gospel. YEAH corporations never lie, in this case verizon has never been caught lying…. NOT Caveat emptor was not posted to confuse you, it was to urge you to grow and and smarten up, blindly agreeing with corporations these days could get you killed, or at the very least effect your health… Remember “cigarettes are not addictive” either…..

“The best part is stating that VZW would cripple the iPhone” Again why is this a “best part” to you? DO you still think verizon doesn’t cripple features and functions from their wireless devices?

“I thought Apple was doing a fine job of that themselves.” You said something like this before and it was PROVEN to you that again you thought WRONG. How does little ignorant bluehorseshoe think Apple is “crippling” the iPhone? It was asked for your explanation and AGAIN we’re still waiting for your desperate response.

Again bluehorseshoe ya get what ya give, and still owe you a bunch, better to take that “vacation” you were grandstanding about or at very least try to honor your apology statements to Robb and keep RIMarkable on topic and OFF your desperate need to comment and give your thoughts and dreams of people who post here, ON topic OFF people is that so tough for you? (We know for you it is….)

Robb I agree with you “Well, anonymous comments are what make RIMarkable remarkable” whats interesting as I have pointed it out before when ever the topic has anything to do with verizon even before I post my thoughts there is already thread crapping and the sad few “vealots” posting comments that they can’t wait for my thoughts on the topic. All one needs to do is go back and see even though my posts have a certain texture shall we say, there is no singular fall guy here.

“Why Haven’t I banned anyone?” Well, anonymous comments are what make RIMarkable remarkable. We aren’t the biggest BlackBerry blog out there, however, there are a heck of lot of people that feel the need to say something about the stuff I write. We have over 300 posts that have over 100 comments on them and tens of thousands of comments in total.

All I’ve ever asked is that you stay on topic and respect others that leave comments.

RIMarkable commentators are smart. They know when they are trying to make a point or just trying to annoy the hell (no pun intended) out everyone that disagrees with them. If you want to say the same thing over and over and over again, so be it. Just don’t be an ass about it and stay on topic.
