I noticed that Blackberry have started a TV ad campaign - featuring all the bits that failed. ;D

The fact remains that Blackberry still have the best email service for a phone, as none of the others offer a similar push email service for any email domain.

Also, I'm pretty sure that if I'd ordered a BlackBerry when I ordered my iPhone 4S, I'd have it by now, rather than still be waiting...

I'm afraid Blackberry is finished.  As I understand it they have fallen behind their competitors - just like Nokia.

They are bringing out a brand new operating system next year - they'll bounce back.  :)
