oh shit yeah. 
 
fingerprint programmable so if u have fat fingers u can programme the phone to know where u wanted to press on the gel screen-saves pressing q and w at the same time, etc 
 
gel screen that clicks in so that it is touch screen with a hidden keyboard underneath. 
 
 
can access the internet at the same time as being on a call-so if sum1 wanted u to check summat on the call at the same time u can as it can separate gsm/3g at the sam etime. 
 
4g ready 
 
iv give u four there-ill need grab one again and check the others.

everyone got bitsy cuz they know best, didnt like it that we couldnt tell and proceeded to spout about it being shite, even though its better spec'd than the iphone variants, and they hadnt seen or heard of it. No, none of us knew anymore other than what you told us. I.e. looks amazing, will blow iPhone out the water, has 3 features no other phone has, blah blah 
 
when they heard it was a blackberry, they then said "oh its only a blackberry" etc, and that people who work in marketing are wrong. The people who work in marketing know nothing about how successful it will be - its their job to sell the product to employees and consumers alike and it seems they did a good job on you 
 
so, the Corsasport massive are entirely right, the new device will sell about 4 units, because Joe Public knows nothing about Blackberry(this is to assume everyone on this site isnt joe public as they all know best). No its impossible to say who will be right, but opinion of the masses on here is certainly a good indicator of how the public will react. Rather than an employee for the company bringing this out

then n96 was mentioned, its better blah blah(no it isnt) and now their defence is internet claimed certain specs etc. 
 
its specced better than most phones, looks better in my opinion. but CS say its crap so its doomed. 
 
buy an iphone-loads better

hmmm no you said it was amazing, you said it would have 3 features never before seen in a phone, which you compleatly ignore now.  
 
you said joe public would go wild, well the likes of dave on here who already stated he considers himself joe public just said he doesnt care, which im guessing is what the rest of joe public will say.  
 
you said the spec is amzing, even though you have admited you dont know what the spec is at all, amongst other things.  
 
just admit you built it up for to much considering you really didnt know specs or what it would do.  
 
And for the iphone i really dont like them, there are much better phones and i wouldnt dream of owning one, but like i said joe public went wild for them they will not go wild for the blackberry.

ur opinion-which you are entitled too. 
 
billions and trillions-i never quoted that. 
 
marketing-we do ask customers what they want from phones. 
 
corsasport opinion-makes a good indicator for the masses? 
 
ok

Yes, I was exaggerating on the billiosn and trillions,b ut you did say it would out sell everything as is so amazing - or something along those lines (Im too lazy to go back and find the one of many quotes). 
 
And Joe Public make up corsasport, so yes opinions on here do represent the masses to some degree - although sample size isnt exactly huge.

did i once say he was all of joe public i said he was indigitive of what imo the general public will think about this phone, that is they wont care.  
 
stop responding in a defensive pointless way and actually make an argument rather than pointless bating.

this is hyped-cuz its good! 
   
 
just cause something is hyped doesnt meen it is good. 
 
And for those features i see nothing there the average user would actually care about let alone purchase the phone for.

features are there for ease of use-have u never used a touch device and accidentally ur finger has pressed the wrong bit? 
 
i have. features have advantages and benefits. 
 
if it doesnt do massively massively well i will admit i was wrong.

Ok, I'm Joe Public and I'm not interested about this Blackberry, I won't be switching to Voda so the marketing people have missed out on a customer. 
 
Close thread, thanks, bye.

You can tweak the way the screen reacts to keypresses on any winmo phone, not exactly new and innovative. 
 
A tactile screen isn't a new idea either. 
 
Being connected to the net at the same time could be useful in certain situations. 
 
When is 4g being rolled out?

So in other words well beyond the normal life expectancy a user of high end phones would expect from a device.

motorola sell the most in usa on verizon apparently? 
   
 
Thats becuase verizon is not a GSM network. 
 
And it only sells 2 nokia models.
