For a brief moment the other day I almost changed my opinion on Blackberrys. I was setting up a new Torch for a client and I caught myself thinking “oh, this is actually quite a nice phone…”
I got over it though.
- When setting up an email account they encourage you to use POP3 and leave messages on the server. This is a truly horrible way to implement mailbox synchronisation.
- On the rare occasion I come across a perfectly functioning trackball on a Blackberry I still don’t like the way it feels.
- The whole Alt / Sym / keypad layout never feels right.
