As a long time Blackberry user and current PocketPC user, let me just say that this won't kill Blackberry. If all you want is email (easily), Blackberry is about the best. Its simple, and just works. If you want to do just about anything else, its time to look at some other options.
My company builds some really versatile software for PocketPC {shameless plug}, but I was a PocketPC user even before I started here. I like being able to install software to do just about anything I want. I like watching videos, listening to music, IM'ing, and all the stuff that Blackberry is behind in.
I don't think Blackberry will die until people start REALLY wanting a small scale portable PC-like device. Hopefully that will be soon.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
