The OS visually needs some work but you really need to play with a 9700 to understand the improvements RIM has made. ITS FAST! Like no hourglass fast! See I am not sure if it is as necessary now.

I was impressed with some of the news coming out of the conference. It gave me hope that they're actually starting to shift back into innovation mode instead of we have push technology so consumers can kiss our a** mode (aka, expect buggy software, it's the new world order mode). The trouble is they've already lost a lot of people (developers and what were once die hard BlackBerry fans) by dragging their heels. I would imagine some, if not most, of them will come back, but the die hard loyalty is gone. Many people who haven't had anything but a BlackBerry since they first held one now own other devices (sometimes in addition to the BB, but not always). Congratulations to RIM on the advances announced and the work they put in to it. P.S. Ronen, I have to disagree with the OS part. They've added some API's and functionality, but I'd still rather see them take a fresh look at the whole thing, especially if they are truly back in innovation mode.
