Disagree...I Love my BB and Will stand by it. And It suits my lifestyle. It suits alot of peoples lifestyles, just because it doesnt have all the cool games or as fast processor isnt a reason why some of us use them. It`s a work phone...Stop hatin lol
Blackberry's do pretty much suck IMO.
I manage 70+ servers for companies around the US, a fair of amount of them have Blackberry enterprise servers for their email (since blackberry's require a BES for exchange email
, unless you get VERY lucky and the OWA setup works instead). Total PITA. No comparison to Androids or Iphones. Even for a work phone, it kind of sucks.

Well seeing as I work for AT&T I can tell you know, its looking like the Torch 2 (9810) is probably going to be our last black berry.
Its not just the games.
Processors are slow, screen resolution is low as always, small screens, not efficent OS, lack of new technology. And now iPhone and Andriods offer there own "BBM" style messaging.

lol it makes me laugh.
The problem is, and rightly so. Black Berry should have never attempted to get into the multimedia game space until they were ready. Putting that fact behind them and in the coffin. No one has a better lock on security than RIM. Where they screwed themselves was when they compromised with a few of the countries that were pissed and couldnt read black berry messages / communications. They should have said. ok fine, we will turn off that BBM feature, but we will not give you access to the system. PERIOD.
Everything else about the phone as a work phone is great. What rim should have done was split the company and make a seperate division. Hell even join the google program like samsung and HTC does. Now they are caught in the middle.
Apple is no where close to Rim on the Business said. But its only a matter of time.

I agree apple and android are better phones, but from a person who lives in Waterloo, Canada, i wish RIM the best of luck and hope they pull their socks up and rebound into the smartphone game or else alot of people in Waterloo are in for a tough time.
