I totally agree. Blackberry stick to what you know or invent something new.
Personally I think the iPhone owns email over the Blackberry. The Blackberry was the choice "device" for email until the iPhone. When I saw the release of the Storm, my thought was that maybe now Blackberry is back in the game. Blackberry has an OS that is flexible and works well. (the iphone's OS is great too, but Apple is way to restrictive on it) I think Blackberry needs to be in the game and up to par or better, with the iPhone or they will become another Palm.
James, I don't agree with you on the iPhone as an email device on par with BlackBerry. I have pretty limited capabilities with the iPhone...but it is easier to use the features it does have. If I want power email usage then the BlackBerry is where its at, for a wide range of email platforms. But for iPhone they have pretty much said Exchange and that's it, and even then it is pretty limited what you can do with Exchange integration.
Richard, in your vblog, your only stating email. Your not stating Exchange/GroupWise "enterprise" integration. I've had a much better experience with just "email" on my iPhone than I have with my Blackberry (8700 was the last one I had) My iPhone works natively with IMAP/POP3 with out having to use RIM/Blackberry as an in-between (or buy Notify link or some other expensive software that is clunky to setup to just get "email"). Take the base email client, i.e. mail.app on a mac or outlook express on windows, my Iphone works just as they do with email, and the feel is native. I think it's great Blackberry came out with the Storm, they've actually got some features in it that are better than the iPhone for a touchscreen. i.e. the springs under the screen to give the real feel of a keyboard, now they can't compete at all when it comes to the iPod part. But I do think they need the Storm out there. I know a lot of Blackberry fans moving over to an iPhone. I guess I should have expected from you, "email" would be "enterprise integration"! :-)
Another perspective after the horse has bolted...

As a follow-up to the complaints about the Blackberry Storm's lack of real keyboard, in the Nokia N97 article below, interesting comment about the research indicating the need for a keyboard. I would have thought this is self evident for people who need to have efficient text input.
Unfortunately nearly every machine design approach has some form of use case trade-off and the design of the human body isn't likely to change in the near future.
