It’s about time. I guess the Asian & European markets finally built up enough pressure to go against the NA cell carriers with a WiFi fone. Awesome.
No mention of a SIP client or Skype client, but hopefully RIM will allow 3rd party innovation. The camera and music are toys, but I guess people like them. We need a wireless handheld that will connect to an Asterisk server. That’s the future of communications. http://taug.ca
I was looking at the Nokia E61 but it’s a far cry from a BlackBerry. The contacts and mail are so much more useful with a RIM. Same deal with Motorola Q and Samsung i600. Nobody makes a more usable PDA than RIM.
Schvabo.
Verizon, Verizon wherefor art thou? Get thee thy name into the press release! puhlease…
I would be happy if Verizon comes out with the BlackBerry Curve by the end of the summer.
