what, did you think it would be for the common man. maybe things have changed now, but even in the US, a blackberry wasn't for poor people.

Crappy looking devices, pushing stuff that my pocket pc could easily do.
if their GPRS services were working as they should, i see no reason why a normal smartphone cannot replicate most of these functions, while escaping the prohibitive charges.
The phrases 'Big boys and girls' is highly provocative, !
