Steve, I'm not sure I like the idea of a touch-screen Berry. An iPod touch-screen is fine because interaction tends to be big simple movements. But with a Berry there's a lot of typing so the idea might not work so well. However, maybe six months from now I'll be trying to blag one from my contacts at RIM. I was already considering trying to blag a Bold and may be dropping some hints soon.

I seem to hev been given a Pearl which I wasn't expecting. It's almost, almost small enough to be a phone but that keyboard is the horror for SMS so in the drawer it goes... SonyEricsson for life. yo. How very exciting. I seem to hev been given a Pearl which I wasn’t expecting.

An all new touchscreen Blackberry called the Thunder is slated for launch sometime around September. http://sanjose.bizjournals.com/sanjose/stories/2008/05/12/daily83.html?ana=yfcpc Add to this the impending launch of the 3G iPhone and maybe all of the other smartphone manufacturers should pack up and go home now. :) Looks very nice, but later this year, RIM will really have a go at the iPhone.
