BerryReview Article Comments

1. Scrolling on my browser has been freezing a lot. I open a page and can't scroll it. Or I can, but it freezes after some time. Then I can scroll by pinching and dragging, but that is annoying.
2. That button was broken. They removed it instead of fixing it. But you can tap the battery meter icon on the upper right corner. All the shutdown, suspend, restart options are there.
3. I think browser performance is fine. For example, it loads the Slashdot.org front page in 3 seconds. I hope no one is trying to measure performance against crackberry.com. That site will bring just about any hardware/software to its knees.
4. I have two big problems: 1) I can't install, update or purchase anything on App World. All attempts fail with a cryptic error message. On Settings, the BB ID section tells me I don't have Wifi. Which I do, all applications that require Internet connection work fine. This update doesn't fix that, although it's a common problem. 2) In fact, my Wifi connection is very unstable with the PlayBook. It drops many times every day, I want to pull my hair out. Just the PlayBook. My notebook and blackberry phone hang on all day. This update doesn't fix that, although it's a frequent complaint. The browser? Well, the browser seems fine except it's sure to crash whenever I try to save an image, on any site. This problem began when I upgraded from OS 1 to 2. This latest update doesn't fix that either. Of course I don't suppose anyone at RIM goes through the trouble of actually TESTING anything. Gosh, what an embarrassing display of incompetence.
5. Yes, many people fail to grasp that I don't criticize the other companies/brands because **I don't care** about them and their products. I am lashing out at the only company that has the potential to make something that I can respect and enjoy, like I used to, three years ago.
6. FYI: moderators at BerryReview delete spam, extremely inappropriate comments and otherwise acts of vandalism. Honest opinion has always been very welcome here, no matter how positive or negative, including that of moderators. BerryReview is not on RIM, any vendor or any manufacturer's payroll, it is a completely independent website.
7. RIM announces that the most obviously unfinished tablet in the market is going to be finished -- eventually, piecemeal. Ooooh, isn't that cool!
8. 1) No hourglass? And you celebrate this like some big victory? It should have ALWAYS been like that! 2) I've had 4 BlackBerry. All of them had no hourglass out of the box, with nothing installed on them and BBM not running. Let's wait until someone buys this thing and actually tests it, I mean, in real life conditions.
9. I'm pretty sure a lot of people has always understood what the Torch and BlackBerry 6 were supposed to be. They were supposed to be what they did not turn out to be, so people just steered clear of them. I think the Torch is nice hardware, but I never, for even a second, got excited about OS 6. It was obviously a dangling carrot to keep people waiting for the real thing, which OS 7 is not either. This announcement sucks because it will make a lot of people postpone their new BlackBerry purchases. No, this is not the case of every gadget that becomes obsolete after a while. RIM is different, RIM is obsolete even before their products reach the market. RIM take way too long to launch. This was the quarter when they should have released QNX on the phones ALREADY. By the time they do, competitors will have come up with something that will completely upstage RIM's QNX. Heck, many could argue that Android does that already. Being conservative or old school is one thing, boasting vapor innovation and being always late is a whole 'nother.
10. Maybe it's a secret passage to an alternative dimension where RIM is a truly intelligent and innovative technology outfit with timely releases. Hidden out because it's still under development, and the world is not quite ready for that anyway.
