Email And Cell Phone In One From RIM

ericmc42 writes: "Research in Motion anounced a new Blackberry this morning, and it has a GSM cell phone in it! It looks great! Email, PIM, Phone all in one. The best part about it is that the email still uses the same packet switched network that all other Blackberrys use. This means the email connection is 'always on' and the battery life should be good. Also interesting is that it runs Java 2 as its operating system."

Where's the anti-Java sentiment?

Come on, folks, everytime some article is posted about Java, there are always folks out there who say:

"Java Sucks, d00d! It's SO SLOW! My mother runs faster than Java! Sun should make it Open Source! Er, free! Er, under full community control! 1337 w4nk3r5 like myself use C! Or better yet, Assembly!"

Oh, wait, it's being used on a cool device. Guess it doesn't suck so bad now, huh?

Those phones are ugly, bulky, and suck. And the PDA part (palm OS) doesn't communicate with the phone part of the device. They have gotten pretty bad reviews as well. That's why I didn't buy one.
