Fo sure, we got one last tuesday through AT&T premier. Size wise nearly identical to the Tour, but OS 5.0 is nice, and the touchpad blows the door off the trackball and scroll wheel (for old schoolers).

As soon as I can get rid of my POS storm I'll jump.

I read josh's criticism's on this thing (storm) and tried it out, didn't mind it, updated everything.... 5 weeks later I want to punch someone every time they say it is so cool.

<self facepalm>

I saw one of these yesterday. I find the Blackberry OS to be useless, so I won't comment on that aspect of the phone. The trackpad is a step in the right direction over the ridiculous trackball used in prior phones, however the scrolling with it was not as smooth as it should be. It will take a few versions for them to get that part of it right.

Its true I have owned the iPhone 2x and it is nice and really cool I love Apple product but you can not compare it to a Blackberry for work functionality it is not that kind of phone. As well people expect too much of all these devices they are still phones for the most part. the email functionality on BB is flawless and all the other tools work just fine. The 4 million apps for the iphone are mostly useless.
