"[I]n its zeal to cash in on some of that iPhone touch-screen mania, R.I.M. has created a BlackBerry without a physical keyboard. Hello? Isn’t the thumb keyboard the defining feature of a BlackBerry? A BlackBerry without a keyboard is like an iPod without a scroll wheel. A Prius with terrible mileage. Cracker Jack without a prize inside."
I'm guessing this quote struck most tech-savvy people as odd but I added the emphasis just to point out how quickly the reviewer made themselves sound like an idiot. Within a few short sentences of acknowledging the iPhone (I am assuming awareness of the iPhones non-phone iPod Touch sibling) they shudder at the thought of an iPod without a scroll wheel! The author should bury their head in shame and review from ever writing gadget reviews again. The author was David Pogue, btw.
