As, I believe, the only Mac developer who doesn’t use an iPhone, I’m in the position of not receiving mobile email at the moment, or actually, the last few days. It’s not the end of the world, but I do a lot of customer service on the go, as any Londoner will tell you, you spend most of the day on the train. Or waiting for a train.

The BlackBerry service is actually generally, pretty spectacularly reliable, I treated it like a tap (or faucet for you Americans), if I turned it, water would come out, end of story.

The problem for RIM, is that people won’t remember the 362 days of the year it worked perfectly, they’ll remember the few days it didn’t.

I still think I’ll stick with the BlackBerry, I’m not a virtual keyboard guy, and I find Android, well, kinda dull. I think Apple is doing the right thing keeping the number of models down, but I think the iPhone is a step too far, some people want a proper keyboard, they just do.

Note : Siri looks amazing, but I don’t want to be that guy talking at his phone on the train.
