I have an E90 and i780 samsung and now a Blackberry 7290.
I honestly don't know what the fuss with BB is.
The fist two took a couple of minutes to setup each. (we have a proper mail server in our office, Does this already imply its not Exchange) either way it appears I will need to pay my Cell Provider additional monthly fees to now get mail ( As I currently do with my other phones for a minimal data rate.)
I tried to look at setting up an Imap account I prefer this as all my mail is synced for all my phones, outlook and webmail. I cant even find a menu item close to indicating mail setup.
the std Theme reminds me of windows 3.1
They did get some things right.
- The scroll wheel on the side feels robust and is integrated well
- an esc function right below it is placed right.
- Love the separate ring tone settings for in and out the holster.
I need to say thus far not impressed. ( I have not been this underwhelmed since getting an Imate K-jam)

Good to see MS has nearly caught up with RIM, it has only taken them best part of a decade, and now you guys dis BB. Even directors can use BB's thats why everyone that REALLY needs secure full time access to email has a BB not a gadget :->
Whats difficult about setting up a BB user!! Click add, set a pass key....
No nasty holes in your firewall.
What more do you want some tacky UI.
PS I dropped my BB down a marble staircase and in the bath and all is well, try either of those with an iPhone.
TTFN

We're not really talking about how tough our phones are we're actually talking about how easy they are to support. From an IT standpoint BB's suck. Plain and simple. Every new model that comes out comes with some new quirk that requires far too much time searching through forums to get an answer on. And your argument that BB's are so easy to use that even directors can use them... Cmon are you REALLY going to sit there and try to convince anyone with half a brain that they are easier to use than an iphone?
Try supporting these things with multiple customers and get back to me. An iphone ticket takes me 10 minutes to complete. I've gone through several past tickets and can tell you the average time to get a blackberry working correctly is more in the 2+ hours range. I just can't undertand why anyone would use these (oh that's right they pay someone else to get them working).

Blackberry SUCK! Don't ask me why! It's simple SUCK! Have you ever try Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, even LG? I swear to god that even the crappy LG is better than Blackberry. How you guys think about the GUI and the menu of Blackberry? It's all messed up. You can try do these jobs on Blackberry and Nokia, then you will scream BLACKBERRY SUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!
- Change a ringtone.
- Add a contact.
- Change LCD brightness.
- Security lock.
- Do a factory reset (BLACKBERRY SUCK! It get slow and slower day by day).
- etc.......
Why the hell people use those CRAPPY, SHITTY Blackberry for???

Blackberry is popular simply because some "fellow executive" said "blackberry". If you know the technical and user interface limitations blackberry's are truly the steam floating off the shit. They stink.
But not a single corporate executive who carries one wants to bother with looking into the technical details and limitations. All they're interested in is looking like the other guy in the BMW with his logo. Every time I see some smug asshole carrying one it is like a badge of ignorance. It's like they're saying "Lookame!!! I'm rich enough to pay for a BB service plan but too stupid to know I shouldn't have".
They kinda summarize everything that has gone wrong in America. The people who carry them truly prove that it doesn't take intelligence, discipline, attention to detail and dedication to make money - it only takes money to make money. And as these ass-clowns strategize their next foreclosure auction bid their communication device of choice is a damn Blackberry? Yep, badge of flaming ignorance.
