This is a huge miss by RIM development. One of the pleasures of the blackberry is its "business demeanor" and low profile. People that own blackberries don't want fancy wallpapers, flashy ringers that play 50 cent, etc (of course that speaks for most of the users I believe, not all). I want to dial a number without everyone in the restaurant, plane, airport, office... knowing that I'm dialing a number, dammit.

Its a cool thing these days for tv actors to dial out on their cell phones with an audible tone... MOMMY LOOK, IT SOUNDS LIKE AN OLD TONE DIAL PHONE WHERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY HEAR WHAT I'M DIALING, ITS RETRO AND VERY COOL AND TRENDY. BB jumped right on that wagon. Pffftt.

Oh yeah, the wife gets nosey. Please tell me the 8800 will ship with an option to turn that crap off.
