    I agree they suck. I have a Blackberry Bold and gave up the IPhone. IPhone=toy, BB, Business tool.

      I have the instinct phone by sprint. I didn't know at the time I purchased it that it was a copy of the iPhone. Well I don't like it because it is really hard to select the right buttons especially if you are typing. It's almost as if the touch space for each key overlaps each other and if you don't hit it right you get the wrong letter. If I had it to do all over again I would've kept my old phone.

        The article makes some illogical arguments. Ex: "virtual reality" environments like Second Life have never taken off other than with folks who want to escape their own physical bodies".

        Say what? Second Life is just another online community, and a very successful one. It's added voice, which is one more 'sense' than say, Propeller. You guys want to escape your physical body?

          Interesting premise...all the same, at most of the meetings I've attended, a little sensory deprivation wouldn't be such a bad thing.
