launched...
It's big, it's a flip phone and it's horrible - end of

This is big? When were blackberry's ever small?! It's a clamshell, you get the best of both worlds: a large keypad AND a large screen!
Now I don't like the looks very much either, but a clamshell could attract maybe more customers from the Asia-Pacific region that appreciate flip phones.
A blackberry is a blackberry, so I don't think businesses buy it so much for the form factor as they do for its purpose, but it may just mean people are not as embarrassed walking around with a brick in their hand.

The keypad will be fine. I'm typing on my pearl for this post and I'm sure the keypad will be the same size or bigger. I don't like the look of the phone much but hey, first time for a new design. They'll work it out. Looks big too.

If its true then i hope its rims attempt to lure multimedia type people to their product range "but" i want it to spark off other manufacturers back to clamshell designs..If rim want to impress the multimedia fans they will have to include decent specs not wat they have put in their range up to now and do not think they can

We all know blackberry devices to be " thumb friendly " . Having squeezed typing in a clamshell is definitely not going to work . What makes it different from other clamshells which has push-email ? A little sceptical here , but I think that this one is really going down the recycling bin .

I didnt liked.
All models of BB are made to business facility
but to atract more public that are looking for multimedia
entertainment, RIMs are loosing your origin.
Are they ?

I like the keypad and screen design, simple yet stylish. Let's see what can this clamshell phone do.
