To the flip-phone haters

A flip-phone style BB is a great option for many in Corporate America. I know several people who HATE using the BB as a phone because the ergonomics of the form-factor SUCK!!! Many of these same people just want to be "kept-in-the-loop" on emails and typically don't type long-winded responses so this looks like it could be a great device for that niche populace - the flip phone form factor gives you a larger screen for reading emails than a comparable candybar style phone.

Personally I gave up my BB for the iPhone; while I do miss the keyboard on the BB that's about it - I'm glad I didn't wait (like many still are) for the Bold or Thunder. I agree that these new devices are probably going to be the right solution for many users, it's a shame that people don't understand that BB isn't innovating, they're doing a Microsoft!! (and that's from someone who's been a long-time WM user too)
