From what I've seen, this will be my next phone.
I dont care about email, I just want anything but T9 and a better camera that the SK2.

Is it $200 unlocked or with a 2 yr plan?]]>Sep 1st 2006 9:18PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/09/01/the-boy-genius-report-thoughts-on-the-blackberry-8100/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/09/01/the-boy-genius-report-thoughts-on-the-blackberry-8100/Sep 1st 2006 9:33PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/09/01/the-boy-genius-report-thoughts-on-the-blackberry-8100/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/09/01/the-boy-genius-report-thoughts-on-the-blackberry-8100/
Plus, whats wrong with being addicted to a BlackBerry? Why do so many people think its crack? its just that good.

Like BGMan said, there's definitely phones with better features and all, but BB's will always be BB's through and through.]]>Sep 1st 2006 9:54PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/09/01/the-boy-genius-report-thoughts-on-the-blackberry-8100/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/09/01/the-boy-genius-report-thoughts-on-the-blackberry-8100/Sep 3rd 2006 2:18AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/09/01/the-boy-genius-report-thoughts-on-the-blackberry-8100/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/09/01/the-boy-genius-report-thoughts-on-the-blackberry-8100/Sep 2nd 2006 5:29AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/09/01/the-boy-genius-report-thoughts-on-the-blackberry-8100/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/09/01/the-boy-genius-report-thoughts-on-the-blackberry-8100/Sep 2nd 2006 10:20AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/09/01/the-boy-genius-report-thoughts-on-the-blackberry-8100/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/09/01/the-boy-genius-report-thoughts-on-the-blackberry-8100/Sep 2nd 2006 1:10PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/09/01/the-boy-genius-report-thoughts-on-the-blackberry-8100/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/09/01/the-boy-genius-report-thoughts-on-the-blackberry-8100/I went in my local tmo store and the girl just smiled and looked away..damn they sure being 007 about these things....

Now, if you're a corporate suit who needs push e-mail, absolutely, I'm sure you can justify the cost. But some random teenager? I think this is the entirely wrong direction for RIM.]]>Sep 2nd 2006 11:38PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/09/01/the-boy-genius-report-thoughts-on-the-blackberry-8100/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/09/01/the-boy-genius-report-thoughts-on-the-blackberry-8100/
And of course, wireless synchronization with Outlook or Lotus Notes is definitely a good thing to have. And basically the many dozens of features the 8100 now has ie camera, music/video playback, calendars, text messaging. And of course, suretype is really good for those who are skeptical =) Its uber fast if your just using normal words. n nawt werds lyke deez.]]>Sep 3rd 2006 12:49AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/09/01/the-boy-genius-report-thoughts-on-the-blackberry-8100/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/09/01/the-boy-genius-report-thoughts-on-the-blackberry-8100/Sep 3rd 2006 12:56AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/09/01/the-boy-genius-report-thoughts-on-the-blackberry-8100/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/09/01/the-boy-genius-report-thoughts-on-the-blackberry-8100/Consider those who own a Treo, Q, or any other smart phone. Their data fee is no less than BB's.

Also, even text messaging costs extra, esp. for an unlimited bundle, which is what most would want.

Someday virtually all mobile users will want and pay extra for data services in addition to voice. It's just like in the home: at first you had only a voice line, now most homes have both voice and data, and gladly pay extra for that data connection.

Also, w/ regards to the Pearl, that will be coming out on T-Mo first, and their unlimited BB plan is only $19.99, which is pretty reasonable.

Bottom line: any smartphone buyer will pay extra for data...this new BB is no exception. But data is the way to go and will be the way to go for the future.]]>Sep 3rd 2006 1:37PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/09/01/the-boy-genius-report-thoughts-on-the-blackberry-8100/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/09/01/the-boy-genius-report-thoughts-on-the-blackberry-8100/Sep 3rd 2006 4:26PM
