Second would have to be apps. Not so much with email however. Being a fan of Apple, I would love an iPhone, but where I live AT&T has very spotty coverage (go figure). Thanks again for the advice!

I need it for email and the Blackberry suits me. If you are looking for web browsing and gaming and lots of apps, the Iphone or the Droid might be good. The new Palm phones are also looking really nice. What are you thinking of? The Droid is nice but the right smartphone always depends on what you need it for.

The trackball keeps on breaking! Its like it wears out and starts getting stuck. I really wish I could switch to a new phone. Any suggestions on a verizon smart phone when it comes time to upgrade? I will definitely NOT be getting another blackberry. I’m on my third Tour with Verizon. The trackball keeps on breaking! Its like it wears out and starts getting stuck.

First Tour had this trackball issue, with the horizontal movement, now this one feels like there is grime between the ball and movement, but only when scrolling down? It's a slightly different problem, but I really don't want to wait and have to pay after the 30 days. Hopefully I'll get a good-working one this time around!

He also let me know that there are no more boxes with green dots on them. He says they have cycled out the bad BB's so there is no more need for the green dots.

The OS appears to be exactly the same, even installing the new v5.0.0 OS does not appear to address the issue. <br /><br />Also, there is a real good long thread with much info related to this at:<br /><br />supportforums.blacokberry.com<br /><br />http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=9630&thread.id=371 <br /><br />Best of luck,<br /><br />Maurice Jay – I heard a lot of the same thing from Verizon but in the end, just advise early adopters to get a replacement unit with a green sticker on the box.
