boygeniusreport.com — We gave you our iPhone list, and while this probably has many more minor annoyances than actual feature omissions, we still thought it would be fun to put a list of our gripes together. Some of these might be device-specific, but you?ll get a general feel for the direction we?re going and why these things piss us off to no end.

I do tech admin work for my mom's company and she has a blackberry 8830. Vista compatibility is horrid. It's been getting better, but seriously, pairing her phone with her PC is nigh impossible at times.

11. It is more the cost and for travelling sake. When I went to Costa Rica the hotel I was in had wifi so I was able to get my emails at no cost. I didn't even search for networks as I didn't want to use my phone. I have a curve so I was happy but if I had a storm I would have been SOL. With so maybe blackberry users being travellers no wifi is brutal.12. Just as fast as USB transer yes, but brutal compared to apple. 13. Okay I understand now what mass storage mode does but why would I want to not have it enabled. I put an 8 gig card in (btw it took forever to figure out how to get my device to reconize an 8 gig card not a 4 gig!!) why would I not want mass storage enabled??14. Thanks but I was thinking i want info on 'memory cards' I type in memory cards and it give me all the options related to that ie. installing, updating..etc. I still can't find that.15. I must be using the camera wrong then. I can't get anything better then fuzz. Can I set it so the pictures are more pixels?? Thanks BTW!!

the article mentions not loading email graphics as a security thing. basically, this is prevented so analytics images that are planted in the email don't get requested by default.. which can let the sender know when you have opened the email (becuase you requested the image from their server). I agree you should be able to enable these by default. Most clients let you enable these images on a per sender basis.

I like how the iPhone list never showed up on Digg but this did.

If someone writes on your Facebook wall and you never read it did it ever really happen?

Lame. Anyways how about alerting the user when the memory is low instead of deleting the call log and randomly deleting messages. I get this call at least twice a day from users saying "all my email is gone". Well dumbass its not meant to hold every email you ever recieved.

And the article is written by a whining baby who doesn't attempt to solve his problems. For instance, #4 is all about not being able to assign your own hotkeys.... You can set every single button on your blackberry as a custom hotkey IDK what rock this guy is living under.
