My take on Thai people's Blackberry craze

People here (in the US) uses crackberry just for corporate emails. Probably I miss something but I don't understand the craze of Thai people using it (great celeb marketing case study, probably?) I think iPhone's user interface, variety of applications and web browsing capability is FAR superior to BB's (BB Pearl's browser is even more terrible than Windows Mobile's). It lacks of QWERTY keyboard but well... do people use it that much to chat and send personal emails?

Anyway, I haven't played with any Blackberry since a little bit after Pearl so probably I can't say much. Choose the one you like best. I personally saved myself from two generations of iPhone and bought 3GS on the 2nd day it launched. Now I can't live without it. :)

Update: Web browser on the Curve is much better than the Pearl. But still the screen is still small, needs the ball for navigation. Although it's compatible with Flash, iPhone browser is still much much more usable.
