It's impossible to "brick a Blackberry unless there's something wrong with the hardware. There's always a way to reload the OS if you know what you're doing...

Looks like the "cheaper" iphone really is cheaper.

I'm afraid you're wrong. This form factor is much smaller than the Bold, just look at the keyboard, they're totally different.

Bold = 8800 series replacement
Javelin - GSM 8300 series replacement
Niagara = CDMA 8300 series replacement

LOL @ the IM problem, sorry Apple Rim solved this like 4 years ago...

These are the Fn (Function keys) not the F keys above the number keys. F1, F2, F3, etc should still be there.

"I had a customer bring in his dell to me, and the thing (a desktop pc) had no ps/2 ports for mouse or keyboard? wtf kind of a motherboard is that?"

One that's not made in 1999? Hi it's 2008 now, we have USB peripherals.

Isn't that the EXACT same thing the iphone did?

So sad but true...

So wait a minute, if I send an e-mail with my Blackberry to someone on an India network the Indian government can view that e-mail withoout breaking the 128 bit encryption?

This should not be ok for anyone, how can companies do business with India companies when they have to worry about the Indian government reading their e-mail or is this just accepted now in the business world?

You can set the sensitivity of the trackball to whatever you want, also you can use the keyboard to scroll down a page for quick scanning of webpages.
