Wow, this seems kind of interesting as the existing line up of blackberry devices are pretty bulky in your pocket... well, except for the Pearl. I think this could open up the market for RIM as some people might find this sleek AND utilitarian!

if you would trade your dare for a suretype blackberry, then obviously you dont know which kind of device you need. blackberrys and dumbphones are 2 seperate categorys of phones with 2 seperate uses. hate to be mean, but thats a silly statement.

the dare has a html browser and some people just want to surf the web with it. I sell both phones everyday and its clear you dont so im gonna go ahead and call you an idiot. Not every customer purchases a smart phone because they need it for business uses. So people just want a fun "toy". What would you classify the pearl as? It clearly isnt designed for the one the go business professional. Ever try to compose full length email on one of those?

yea, but its the truth. Tmo has always come with the blackberry's first until recently when they started putting attention toward consumer based equipment. For the most part, im seeing Tmo getting it first

(keeping my fingers crossed)

Oh cellphone manufactures why must you create every device with a optional red/burgundy/wine/blood color scheme?

Why would RIM limit its product to only one carrier? That's pretty stupid you know.
