I removed this rant from a question about subfolders. I put it here instead. Please comment liberally.

One thing that "bothers" me about Blackberry now is that people expect to have access to all their email and feature sets from the blackberry handheld.

This at a time when the mail storage quota policies have been abolished. We have users with upward of 5GB mail stored on the servers. And this has become the norm.

I really enjoy the blackberry and it has increased the productivity, functionality and workplace transparency of my userbase. However, the desire to have all email and access to all calendars from the handheld, i believe is slightly out of line with the design of the platform. Not to mention the memory mishaps with all the add on applications....

I think the blackberry was designed as a sort of touch stone, not as a micro sub sub compact replacement for the subcompact laptops and cellular broadband cards we provided you.
