Anonymous, 02 May 2011Out of all the people I know who own phones with a secondar... moreHow often have you used your
Car Headlights?
Windshield wiper?
Brakes?
Samething goes with secondary camera...
We need it when we "need" it...
its not a disaster to include it in a phone...

So basically RIM wants customers to go out a buy a new phone instead of just giving existing users an easy upgrade for their phones. I hate greedy companies.

jz, 02 May 2011Why BB has no 2nd camera? Is it BB dun find it useful? or T... morei guess because blackberries were designed as a messaging phone. push email, push messages etc, not a multimedia device with video phone capabilities. i have had phones with a secondary camera, and only used it once just to test that it really works. it works great, but i don't really need it.

In the age of 3g mobile why has not BB still come up with a Secondary camera. I have Storm, Pearl, Bold & Curve & find 3g services quite useful but the lack of front facing camera pinches me. Being a BB fan I would not want to switch to any other

I am going to stay with BB but it is a shame that the 9780 JUST came out and is already not supported on the most recent OS. Like it is pitiful. But, I guess the business user-base of BB doesnt care about this.
OG iPhone hasn't been supported since halfway through iOS3.

my newly $700 BB Touch feels like n95 already. Outdated. Shame on Rim

Well, buying the Torch was a waste of money. Had my hopes up when I thought they might make it useful with the new OS and WIFI hotspot, but since that is no longer the case. I'm done with BB, next phone is iPhone and I am never looking back.

No many changes in OS 7 comparing to OS 6.
So this phone is not different too much than others now in the market as Bold 9780 and Curve 9300.
