    Hurray!!!

    My contract finishes in October - I wanted BlackBerry anyway so that's like a godsend!

    Come on RIM can you release earlier so prices can go down a little before October ;)

    My contract ends in September, so I will be looking for this too.

    I personally think BBs beat iPhones as it is, with or without a touchscreen, but then I'm more of a browser than a music man anyway. But a touchscreen BB I could easily see doing well against the iPhone and I think the sometimes understated RIM have a realistic chance of putting up a good fight, if it wanted to in the first place!

    Good to see ...

    Wahoo!!!

    Ok, I really don't care about touchscreen ... but this one means the BB can fight on even ground with the iPhone! w00t!!!

    Even if I dislike the Jobsphere and the current state of Apple, I do agree that the iPhone seems to have sent handset manufacturers into an innovation spree. I just hope that the 9000's will be available when my contract finishes.... which will be 'till July 2009. Plenty of time! :)
