“If people are choosing the device themselves, then I highly encourage them to check out the more capable Palm, Symbian, and Windows Mobile offerings and prepared to be blown away compared to the BlackBerry devices.” – Matt Miller at The Mobile Gadgeteer

Matt Miller has a very good post up at his The Mobile Gadgeteer blog site, asking what makes a Blackberry a compelling device today – and coming round to an answer of ‘not much’.

I have wondered a lot over recent months just how Blackberry can compete against far more capable devices – and usually just end up thinking of their large installed base and major foothold in corporate environments.

It seems that even their newer models with some multimedia capabilities and cameras are too little, too late in terms of coming anywhere close to matching what’s available on Windows Mobile, Palm, and Symbian devices.

Check out Matt’s article and comment there, or here, on whether you think Blackberry stands up well these days in the mobile devices arena:
