I could have made a few bucks betting the odds he wouldn't get it.
I had similar thoughts cross my mind as well. No sense in explaining it I might get an infraction.

Ouch.
RIM needs to adapt or they will die.
Absolutely 0 innovation from this company in the last 5 years, is absolutely inexcusable. My BB Curve is a nightmare, I hate this thing! The new Bold is baffling, why does it need a track pad and multitouch???
RIM is a good Co., when I used to go to school at Waterloo, our campus was next to the RIM building. They would actually allow students to park on their property on weekends while our own school would not cater to their students. To me that was a good gesture. However, as much as I would like to support them in return, I can never ever get use to their joystick device. Compare to a touchphone that is so archaic.
I wish their device were more user friendly because I would love to support a Canadian Co.
Allowing students to park on their property doesn't make them a good company. Stock holders and consumers could care less about their parking allowances. Start innovating and start evolving with the times or die.

so you don't have to take your hands off the keyboard to scroll to things on the screen.
Then why have a multitouch screen???!!!!
because all the cool kids have one. why else?

iPhone 4S dominating performance figures.
Guess it's a huge upgrade in terms of performance! Beats the crap out of the Galaxy s2.
How does it compare in the "I want to do whatever I want and install what I want on my phone and not be tied down to a software fascist dictatorship" test?
