Se você quer um iPhone, por que compra um Blackberry? (Em inglês)

Do you know what the best selling themes are at the BBGeeks Store? I’ll give you a hint: They copy the theme of another popular PDA. Yeah, I’m talking about iPhone themes. It just puzzles me that someone with a BlackBerry would spend money to make their phone look like an iPhone. Is the interface really that cool? Even without touchscreen? You know, because I thought the entire reason for having those block icons was so you could actually press them. Alas, no such advantage exists on your BlackBerry. So what’s the point?
We know that the iPhone is cool and hip. So I suppose people want to bring a bit of animation to their otherwise-blase BlackBerry devices. This isn’t to disparage BlackBerrys, though. I rather enjoy the basic design RIM employs. It’s functional, which is far more important than it being cool.

What’s even further troubling is that the other best selling themes are based on the rumored 9000 series. So are people not happy with their current BlackBerrys? It seems everyone is pining either for an iPhone or or a new, cooler BlackBerry.

But I suppose that’s the beauty of BlackBerry themes. You can change up your screen to be whatever you want. And if the iPhone theme is our bestseller, well, I guess it’s in demand. I guess the only question I have left is, why no Windows Mobile theme?
