After all, software is said to be RIM&#8217;s weak point, and if the company can get itself up to date with its operating system then better software might follow. I don&#8217;t think I completely thought through this position, though. <\/p>\n<p>It took me getting a Nexus One to appreciate what RIM has done. The BlackBerry is the best communications device I&#8217;ve ever used, and while the Android and iPhone platforms might be &#8220;cooler,&#8221; it doesn&#8217;t mean that they do what the BlackBerry does. So I now think that, despite OS 6.0 not being much of a huge upgrade, that RIM has its ducks in a row. <\/p>\n<p>We also saw another controversial BlackBerry, the 9670 flip model with a full, Storm-sized screen. We&#8217;ve seen much criticism of this device, but at the risk of sounding like a fanboy I think RIM has done a good job with this one. It&#8217;s not a device that appeals to everyone, clearly, but RIM has never really been in that business. They have an army of devices to appeal to a wide swath of the market, and this just adds to that array. <\/p>\n<p>This post originated at BBGeeks.com &#8211; home to all things <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbgeeks.com\">Blackberry<\/a>!
