MAybe its your carrier. My phone has no trouble streaming youtube vids, or other vids, so I have no idea what ur meaning there. Let me guess your with att? If your phone is crashing a lot, have u updated to the latest os? My Guess is, your either one of att’s customers, or you don’t really own a berry, your just going by “what you’ve heard” I dunno.
I have Sprint and previously was with verizon (switched to sprint due to verzons high data fees) and I’ve been a proud blackberry user since 2006. My dad has a torch with att and his gf has an iphone, he wouldn’t trade her any day. Altho they both hate att. My brother has a droid and his crashes more oftEn than my berry, which I keep properly updated and it never crashes, and I use it, not lying, probably 75 percent of the day, surfing the net, using apps, emails, txts, and phone calls. Not once has my trackpad ever stopped working for me or my wife.
I have a style 9670 os6.0 and she has a curve 9330 os6.0 btw…..

I happen to love my blackberry AND its browser. That said, I am running the new 6.0 os with the improved browser, I should say MUCH improved WEBKIT browser, but even my old one was pretty good altho I did use bolt as an alternate on occasion. I have had 4 different blackberries, first one being a now obsolete 7130a, then another now-obsolete storm, a curve 8530 and a style 9670 and I’ve liked each one a little better than the previous. I don’t find lack of flash player to be a drag, as the sites I use don’t require it, and I’ve heard its not as Secure, so I’m not sure I even want it. Now with super-apps like poynt, I think rim has taken a few steps forward there too as well as with podcasts and rss feeds (built into the os, NOT apps)
Can’t wait to get a playbook

Forgot to mention the fact that the track pad intermittently stops working rendering the phone useless until it decides to start working again. Useless piece of garbage.

I agree. Blackberry phone in general are the worst pieces of crap ever. The browser is just the beginning. Forget the fact thet it functions at the speed of dial up. Half the time I cannot even connect. Then, at best I turn the phoe off and back on and hope it will work. At worst I need to take the battery out. The media player sucks. It cannot stream videos. You cannot open different windows. It does not support adobe. It crashes whenever you do something slightly complicated. Theb you need to repeat step one. Turn off phone or restart battery. The apps blow. Battery life is a joke. And when the battery runs out, if you plug the phone into the charger you have to wait even to make a phone call or text. I pay a good deal of money for a data plan and basically I can do about as much with this phone as my old dumb phone. I know it is a business phone. Whatever that means. But why advertise features you cannot deliver. Blackberry does not offer web access. Period. All it good for is email. Did I mention the apps suck ? Not to mention the little quirks the phone has. Doing things that you did not want it to do. Screw blackberry. RIMjob should go out of business for marketing such a lousy product

Excellent reasons! And don’t let the “threat” of an accusation of “anecdotal evidence” make you feel unjustified in these points.

It’s a very well accepted fact that BlackBerries in general suffer from all kinds of responsiveness and quality issues. They are a testament to Canadian mediocrity.

(I say this AS a Canadian living in Canada!)

Take care!

Im so dissapointed with the browsing.. The Web on my old Samsung Code from MetroPCS takes a big dump on the Blackberry Web.. even the bolt browser… It’s too bad skyfire gave up on blackberry to concentrate on droids.. wich i think its gonna be next purchase for sure!

BlackBerry Browser sucks

I don’t know why anyone would challenge you. I am a BB user who will switch to Iphone in Oct when my upgrade is available at my provider–my new IPod Touch sold me. BB is no longer competitive on any level, and that includes the supposed email handling superiority, which they no longer possess either. Since RIM refuses to give customers what they want, they lose this one.
