A lot is riding on the five BlackBerry smartphones RIM recently announced, representing the largest global launch in the company's history. The soon-to-arrive models are based on the new and improved BlackBerry 7 operating system.
With all that's at stake, you might expect that the latest devices represent bold leaps forward. (I don't mean Bold, as in the name of one of the most venerable BlackBerry brands, but rather something that is fresh, impactful and frankly, different.) Instead, the models -- while superior to what came before -- aren't likely to shake up the tech Richter scale. And RIM continues to fall far short in the ever-critical apps sweepstakes.
What's more, even while trotting out BlackBerry 7 devices, RIM is at work on QNX, the next-generation operating system expected to be available for new smartphones next year. While it remains to be seen how developers and end users ultimately take to QNX, it raises the question of how long BlackBerry 7 will be around. Even worse, it's unlikely BlackBerry 7 devices can be upgraded to QNX. And BlackBerry 6 or earlier devices cannot be upgraded to BlackBerry 7. (QNX powers the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, a device that received mixed reviews.)
I've been trying out BlackBerry 7 on three of the new phones, the $49 BlackBerry Torch 9810 from AT&T, the $199.99 Torch 9850 from Sprint and the $249.99 BlackBerry Bold 9930 from Verizon Wireless. Prices are all based on two-year contracts.
While I generally like all three phones, some features have RIM playing catch-up. That's disappointing given the speed...
