And here's what I had to say about this:"I’m sure if you do a similar survey about computer operating systems in businesses, Apple will probably come out on top in terms of satisfaction as well. But does that mean the Mac OS X is a better business OS than Windows or Linux, ABSOLUTELY NOT, of course. It only means that users of that niche market where the OS X is suitable are very satisfied; and that users of the big majority of businesses where Windows is most suitable are less satisfied. It DOES NOT mean that OS X would be equally suitable for those businesses where Windows is used."
i just traded my iphone (1st gen) for a blackberry. it's a fun phone and all, but texting on that touch screen was a nightmare. i sent so many texts with weird random words inserted where it was trying to correct me. it also had a bad habit of not realizing that the headphones weren't connected and therefore wouldn't give me sound from the handset.
> My favortiew featrue of the iPhone isd > tdhe acxurate kewyboardf.My employer purchased an iPhone for my work and I have to say that even for someone like me who has, shall we say, less than delicate fingers, the typing isn't even remotely as bad as people make it sound. I was typing damn-near flawlessly within about 15 minutes. Once you get the feel for on-screen typing, it's actually very easy.It amazes me that Digg is populated by people who will spend inordinate amounts of time learning the precision required for certain games but can't seem to muster the same skill level when learning how to type on a touch screen.

To elaborate, it pisses off IT departments. RIM refuses to implement SMTP AUTH (which will have been around for about a decade soon) in an attempt to extort you into using microsoft exchange.<a class="user" href="http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB15110&sliceId=SAL_Public&dialogID=207536364&stateId=1%200%20207530955">http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displ ...</a>White-list multiple IP ranges? f**k that. The phones are broken and they need to fix them.
