It seems to be the cool thing nowadays to rag on RIM and their Blackberry platform.

I've carried both an iPhone 4 and a Blackberry Bold 9780 for a few months now, and in the hustle of New Years Eve last night, I had the iPhone stolen. I thought this would be a crushing blow, but then I remembered: I really do enjoy using my Blackberry.

I get a lot more done when I'm using my Blackberry. I love the keyboard; I'd say I can type two or three times faster on it then the iPhone. I like having various buttons there for when I need them. The convenience buttons in particular are a lifesaver.

Sure, the experience might not be as polished, but the Blackberry still does a lot right. I think the native Gmail experience on the Blackberry even rivals the Android experience, but maybe that's just me.
