I agree with reader #2, even though it’s becoming sleeker, sexier and more appealing to geeks in general, the blackberry needs to stick to its brick-phone roots of being aimed at the professional. I know countless business-men, journalists and entrepreneurs who base a great deal of their business activity on their blackberry. This represents a great deal of the blackberry line's market share and its developers are wise to appease them. We all know that anti-camera policies are getting stricter (Georgia Tech anyone?) and you couldn't even get on the manufacturing floor for government-spec toilet seats with a camera, let alone something that actually mattered like in the aerospace industry. It’s good to see that this group is kept in mind along with the clamoring tech-enthusiasts who want all that media functionality by having the camera-laden and camera-less versions of the new phone.
