   I think youre right about the Apple logo (unfortunately) but until you see how good this is you cant comment on it just being a blackberry   
 
I might add Ive had a Pearl for about 6 months and never had any problesm with it   
   
 
No, but as a regular punter it puts me off that it is a Blackberry as I see them as mainly business phones which I don't need and also the fact its on Vodafone who as a network don't appeal to me. So there will be alot of people in the same boat as me who won't even give it a 2nd thought. 
   
 
i always used to see BB as posh email phones-all that changed when i got a few and used them.

well done matey   Havernt heard about mine yet   
 
I think it will do really well depending on the tariffs, whcih  i have no idea of... if they try and make people pay extra then i think it will fail, but as i understand it they r doing iphone type specific tariffs for it

sorry but wtf lol, what are these 3 features never before seen in a mobile phone before, which im sure one of you said at the start of this topic? 
 
And why would joe public go crazy for a blackberry, im pretty sure most of joe public doesnt care about it.  
 
seriously your marketing people must be really off the mark saying this is going to stir the public crazy, if the omnia, touch diamond or x1 which are all stylish yet aimed at business users didnt do it why would this? 
 
and for the HD screen... 
 
touch HD  
 
wvga Display Resolution : 480 x 800 (384000 pixels) 
 
blackberry storm 
 
resolution of 360 x 480 pixels 
 
hmmmmmmmmmmm if anything is going to be more succesful its the touch hd, not only is the screen bigger and more resolution it has the benifit of a 5mp camera and winmo.  
 
i honestly dont see what the big deal is with this phone, the touch pro imo is a lot better than that and its out now (already have one). 
 
and as john has said before the developer base for winmo is huge, the software for winmo compleatly out classes the stuff avalible for blackberry.

You get blackberry email for the winmo devices. 
   
 
the touch HD, has a "normal" touch screen....the blackberry doesnt have a normal screen, and actually is High Definition........... 
 
who is to say new blackberrys arent going to have a better OS than 6.1?  has anybody used it yet? no...... 
 
winmo is slow and glitchy.  
 
i think u need to get and have a play with the new phone see what you think then 
   
 
and actually reading through the thread again it sounds like you dont really know the spec of either phone, whats different about the screen and why is it more HD than the higher resolution on the touch HD? 
 
i dont meen this in an offensive way but it sounds like you have swallowed what ever the rep for the blackberry was spouting to you compleatly.

omnia touch diamond and x1?? 
 
omnia wasnt hyped up at all cuz it is cack, the diamond, again hasnt been hyped up, and the x1-hasnt even been released yet. 
 
omnia sells mega well, even though it is absolutely horrific to use, the diamond doesnt sell that well, because HTC made us agree to not sell to consumer customers, and the x1 has been in demand for months. 
 
i think you will find that our marketing guys are absolutley bang on with what they do-if you are under the impression that the Corsa sport massive are better at marketing research than our guys, seriously, get yourselves into marketing. to assume that "joe public" dont know anthing about blackberrys is one of the funniest things in this thread. i would do osme homewrok, and get knowledgable to blackberrys and there customers-after all, they have the most amount of subscribers to a service in the comms world. 
 
seriously funny!

so what makes the blackberry more HD than the HTC which has a higher resolution   please explain this.  
 
i meen seriously how much resolution can they fit into a 3.3" screen? and what would you class a HD resolution at ?

ssj -i aint goin to quote all above it-d be stupid. 
 
the htc doesnt have a higher resolution-the specs on net are wrong about the BB!! 
 
i have no idea about HD classifications at all-probably the same as my sony HD Camcorder that has a 3.2"screen, records in HD and plays back in HD?

right by joe public i meen the average user who just wants the newest nokia, SE or motorola ect and have no idea what the blackberry is, seriosuly if you ask the average person who has a nokia or SE i doubt they will know what a blackberry is, if they do they will have only heard of it as a brand name and not actually know what its for.  
 
you even said yourself blackberry is a huge seller in the coperate scheme of things, and seen as you have relied on blackberry sales compared to iphone ok whats the sales of blackberry against nokia i am willing to bet nokia sell a hell of a lot more, therefore "joe public" wants them.  
 
yes i agree the blackberry may sell better in the coperate market but not the general consumer market.

exactly im not saying your wrong but considering you dont actually know the difference in the screen resolutions and are simply saying its HD without having a great grasp of what that meens how can you instantly say the blackberry will be better?  the rep who told you the information is obviously going to say its better.

when we were playing with the devices, the HD screen wasnt what i was amazed by, so i wasnt really focused on gettin the specs. i know, that the device records, and displays images in HD-how this is done, i do not know. the spec on tinterweb is wrong, as it is all guess work. the web is saying its just touch screen-when it isnt! 
 
i have not been brainwashed by the reps at all, the device has amazed me. having had to use an iphone all last night, i didnt fully like it, the koi fish app was cool-but how does that benefit me day to day? 
 
it doesnt. 
 
as for joe public knowing what blackberry are, you would be surprised what they know and want. as previously said, the rise in consumer sales of blackberrys has grown MASSIVELY. 
 
remember, there are 3 variants to blackberry, CONSUMER, ENTERPRISE and BLACKBERRY WIN PROFESSIONAL. 
 
consumer sell the most-dont be fooled into thinkin people arent aware of blackberry-they are massivley known.

i liked very much. 
 
bit heavy but not overly,slide feels very firm and not sloppy like w910, little delay on camera-but the images are stunning.
