Consider that the Blackberry tablets are a completely different OS than Blackberry phones. Not having email on a BB is just another example of RIM making RIM-like-decisions

At the moment. QNX will eventually be on the phones as well, but RIM is dragging their feet about getting it there.

Another common theme from the Blackberry fanatics I know is that they're all at the very least waiting for QNX phones before they get another Blackberry, and most of them have just given up and switched to iOS or Android at this point.

It seems puzzling to me that you would count QNX against the Playbook when you take that into consideration.


The developer experience for BB's is beyond painful. Add an unpopular device with a unique SDK and the result is fewer apps for end users
