The iPhone 3G drives Crackberry Kevin nuts, no doubt about it. Sure, he likes a few aspects of it, including the inimitable App Store, but the push buzz when he's talking, the lack of a back (button, that is), and a million other things add up to make him officially re-dub the device the Ah-[Redacted] phone.
While WMExpert Dieter kept hammering away about the openess of the platform, Crackberry Kevin focuses more on BlackBerry-type productivity. But that's the beauty of the Round Robin -- we get so many looks at so many different devices/platforms from so many different points of view.
Coming from a turbo tactile typing, push email addiction like the BlackBerry Bold, does Kevin have some legitimate gripes? Or is this just a case of post-Storm-FAIL sour grapes?
Confession: many of the things he picks on, we've complained about numerous times on TiPb already. But we're allowed to offer constructive criticism about our beloved device. Can CrackBerry get away with it?
NOT. Head on over to CrackBerry.com and let him know what you think before El Jobso himself decides to call Public Frenemy #1 up and give him a little Apple-powered "Skidoosh!" You could even win a BlackBerry Bold for your trouble!
