Was it worth the wait? D... straight, it was!

This thing rocks and the folks at RIM deserve some kudos for the fantastic work.

This thing just rocks. Android apps work as if they were written for it, sync via gmail, email, calendars, all work like a charm.

Flash too. I get to use what is available now, not some crippled device that can't browse the web and offer users the full experience of every single website.

Well done.

My next phone: A BlackBerry.

And it still doesn't support RIM's BES...only ActiveSync.

And the iPad won't play anything related to Flash, a real technology, used by the majority of web sites.

HTH, fanguuurl

You did hear that Adobe is abandoning Flash on mobile didn't you?

Nashton
You do know that Flash is still a working technology used by a major part of web sites, don't you?

I think email is slightly more important than a product that even its creator is said is dead on mobile devices.

Nashton
I'm sure you really, *really* want it to be dead, abandoned and some such. It isn't.

I've had to update FireFox on Win7 for Adobe Flash Player. Too many sites where there are news videos wouldn't play. No problem on IE tho.
