Obviously you have never owned a blackberry, but googling for "Blackberry
email problem" might be entertaining.

BlackBerry's network has had several major outages in the
last year or two. I distinguish between network outages and
device issues. This is a reasonable distinction, given that
half of the email I read on my phone is retrieved via IMAP
and thus not vulnerable to BlackBerry's network outages.

It might be good to learn to manage
things for yourself without expecting the providers to do it all for you,

I don't know what you're talking about. I am not expecting
any provider to manage anything for me. I am expecting my
phone to work as intended.

I do think that
a grown man should not be such a demanding whiner.

As someone who has been working in the computer software
industry for over two decades, it is extremely depressing to
me that the quality of software produced by said industry is
so low that anyone would be considered a "demanding whiner"
merely for expecting the software to work as intended.

You can be sure that the company I work for does not treat its
customers like whiners when they complain about bugs. We fix
them. Better yet, we put a great deal of effort into trying
to ensure that they don't get released in the first place.

But then, I've noticed a
lot of liberals are, pushing us closer and closer into overly-nurturing
socialism.

I wasn't aware that politics had anything to do with why
computer software is buggy or whether people have a right to
expect it not to be.

I do think that
having a device with too many options is probably not the most comfortable
platform for you.

Gee, you're right, I guess it is too much for me to expect
the phone to come with the "doesn't malfunction in multiple
ways every single day" option!

In any case, you're right, the BlackBerry is not an ideal
choice, exactly because of the dependency on the BlackBerry
network. I'd actually rather go with PalmOS, but from what I
hear, it's been pretty unstable since 5.0 as well. Perhaps
I'll give it a try and see if it's improved in recent
releases. If not, there's always the iPhone or the new Linux
phone that's going to be coming out Any Day Now.

Anything but Windows Mobile. And I say that as someone who
really, truly, wanted Windows Mobile to work for me and who
gave it more than a reasonable chance to prove its worth.

If someone could actually make a convincing case that
Microsoft cared about Windows Mobile quality, I might change
my mind, but I've simply seen no evidence of that.

Take a look at this article, published today, about WM 6.1:

There isn't a single word in it about improving the quality
of the existing software on the phones. It's all about new
features. New features sell phones, of course, but what
about making the existing features useable for those of us
who have already paid their money?

Another example of a serious WM5 bug that MS knew about and
didn't bother to fix in WM6 -- if you sync a Sent Items folder
in an IMAP mailbox, then when you send IMAP messages the copy
that was supposed to get deposited into Sent Items gets lost
instead.
