Thoughts/Opinions On New Blackberry's

[Luke]

What are your thoughts/opinions on the 3 new blackberry's rim announced yesterday?

I personally like them quite a bit except for the torch 2. OS 7 looks very fast and just a lot more polished compared to OS 5 and 6. I do wish they would get a QNX OS on the blackberry though. Also the 3-year contract prices on rogers is ridiculously high. I can't see many people other then business people spending that much on a phone with a 3 year contract.

They look nice and are definitely a step in the right direction. Now RIM needs to focus on more apps and work directly with developers, or create some 'must-have apps' of their own.

I'd like to see an XBMC Remote Control app for BB.

With Android matching up with Exchange way better, I don't see how these phones justify the costs (even for business people) when Android phones are faster, better specs, and more user choices. I currently use a blackberry and it has served me pretty good for the last two years but I am more excited about the newest Android phones then these new Blackberry's.

They are good but the price point of $600 +taxes is way out there for a Blackberry. I think it should be in the $500 to $550 range.
