I'm not sure I buy that. Maybe it is, but it feels a lot like Steve Knows Best to me.

On a complete tangent, I don't understand at all why people like their Blackberries. (Not that I'm disagreeing with your assertion.) Mine gets poor service, the GPS sucks, there are about four useful applications, the UI is horrible, it's been RMA'd twice in six months, etc. I could go on and on. The only things good about it is that the email is decent and the battery life isn't horrible.
