The Bold 9000 will not be able to open/modify excel spreadsheets. They're calling it a business tool?

Looks like an amazing phone, except for the screen. There's so much unused space that should be filled with the screen.

I dont agree you cant compare with iPhone. I am chosing between iPhone, this, Arte and e71. I have sirocco now. I just need a solid phone that is cool and feel nice in hands..

How can it be "large screen" when the screen covers less than half the size of the phone. WE WANT A LARGE SCREEN IN A COMPACT PHONE, not the other way around.

Give us touch screen, have you seen how the guy scrolls through the web browser in the video? Physical keyboard is great, with touch screen, it's perfect.

Blackberry's arent meant to replace iphones, or you digital camera cell phone. They are for business people who need real computer utilities in their hand(e-mail and a phone book) a 5mp camera is of no use to 85% of RIM's customers...as for comparing it to the iphone, there are laundry lists of what both devices can or cannot do to compare them is useless because the iPhone is for those who want something cool that they can do everything and make an occasional phone call...the Blackberry is for those who need to communicate with others through email and calling...not for youtubing...

Those of you who sit here all day and complain about Nokia being better or apple being junk obviously spend less time outside in the real world interacting with real, people get over it.

also last I checked RIM was dominating the business sector like Apple dominates iPods so I think those techs in Ontrio know a little bit about what they are doing (also RIM's market share has only been increasing the past 2 years so dont say they are doing this to keep customers as most customers by the smaller lower-end BB's and the 9000 wont be their top seller...mainly because most ppl dont need half the crap in it)

definetly gonna grab this when it drops.

Word is spreading that AT&T will be the first carrier in the US. Rogers (in Canada) has already posted a link on there site so i think its safe to say they will carry it as well. According to the press release, this should be available "beginning this Summer"...im assuming that means June/July. RIM wants the phone priced between 300-400 but b/c the carriers have the power, it will probably be closer to 400.
