Nope. I never compared it at all. I'm just saying that the average person is soured by the VZW lineup as evidence by the Voyager. Voyager quickly became a forgettable device shortly after release. I wasn't comparing the two per-se, just that people dont care about VZW touch screen devices. And the general consumer is not going to get overly excited of a new touch screen just because it says BlackBerry.

I seriously doubt Thunder will steal anything from anyone. None of Verizons touch screen phones have managed to do stellar. Voyager had a lot of hype at the beginning, but shortly after release it because a forgettable device. They will release a few more touch screens, and none will do better than Voyager. People I think will be soured by VZW offerings. There will be hype surrounding it, but it will not be anywhere as successful as the Apple iPhone 3G or BlackBerry Bold.

All the while with a clunky interface most people hate and want to cover up with front ends. I know of absolutely NOBODY that wants to copy the Windows Mobile interface to put on another device. I know of projects for every device, including tons for Windows Mobile, that try to make Windows Mobile look and behave like an iPhone. The clunky interface is why I hate Windows Mobile. That, and the crap web browsing experience, shoddy stability, and crappy non-responsive SINGLE TOUCH screen that is more or less crappy (compared to iphone). The entire single touch resistive display feels so outdated and last generation compared to iPhone. If you have ever played with iPhone for any length of time, you know the touch screen on ALL WinMo phones are not as responsive to finger touches.

Yay ... another device using a crap resistive screen that works better with a stylus, where they don't give you a stylus. What is that about? These things will NEVER rival iPhone or be as much fun to use if they don't make the touch screen as responsive and natural as what Apple gave us for iPhone. Single touch? Yesterday. Non accurate resistive screen? Give me a break. If you are going to create a resistive screen device, at least include a stylus. THAT, and every Verizon phone is the same. This thing will have the same layout at Voyager. All VZW phones are so cookie cutter its disgusting.
