RIM takes aim at consumer market with BlackBerry OS 6 (arstechnica.com)

I got a free moto droid from Google for Google IO.

I have been using a Blackberry 8900 for the past year and a half or so.

Even in Blackberry OS 4.2 there are a lot of things that seem simple and elegant compared to Android. The Moto Droid GPS is mega slow to get a signal and crashed hard twice, killing the phone's battery.

I don't think Blackberry should be counted out just yet. If I could pinch/zoom a webkit browser (even on the tiny screen of my 8900) I think I'd actually use the web from it not just as a browser of last resort.
