"How can you rate this phone when you have no experience"
Pros: It is ridiculous that people are complaining/raving about features this phone might or might not have. All of you who have rated this phone should really have waited until you were able to get your hands on one; your reviews are worthless. Cons: The
Pros: -ClickTouch technology
Pros: OK don't know where my first review went so if this posts twice I apologize...for those who need to actually see the storm, here's the next best thing. RIM has simulators of all their phones you can download. Cons: However, I had to install, and uni

Pros: I have actually managed to play with one and I can assure you, it is amazing. The screen clarity is great, and the 'click' when you press on the touch screen is anything but offputting. Took me a moment and I was away. I am really impressed. Cons: I
