I'm interested. With the Pre, if you lose it, you can connect to it remotely and wipe all the data off of it, or so they claim. That should help. It can be locked to require a password, but I haven't done that yet and don't know much about it. The Pre worked for me because it uses Sprint and because it will run my old Palm apps, and also it has lots of cool features. Except for the iPhone I haven't seen other things with such a cool interface, multitouch, etc., but I really don't know squat when it comes down to it and would love to hear about the Blackberry if you really think it is a great device. What can it do that the iPhone can't do? In the so-called religious wars (e.g., emacs v. vi) I have noticed that the proponents of a thing (program, OS, device, etc.) generally know a lot about that thing but little about the opponent's thing. I admit that I don't know things, so any flames will generate at least as much light as heat for me. I'm always willing to learn more! Mike
