This is not what I meant - in other words, you have to use a different program.
In my email, I immediately want to click and go search, then find emails based on maybe the presence of one word, sent from one sender or to a particular person. I dont want to have to muck about with a stupid search app - that will lose me face on a call to someone like a bank. Any more than one button press to bring up search, and its a waste of time.
There is a seperate search app which searches the entire phone but it is also intergrated into all the apps also individually. IE contacts, calendar.
E-mail for example is just a simple text search bar at the top of whatever folder you are in. Its very quick.
One of the reasons I am less critical is because of the software nature of the phone, that changes can be deployed at low cost on a continually developing basis. Its a platform that to date yet to see an expected lifetime. I would still like the ability to have more than one active sync connection and public folders.
I personally find BBs; although great tools, very hard to justify to small businesses when I tell them they cant have the BES server on the same SBS OS, (Blackberry best practices), they have to pay for the server after more than 1 phone, they have to pay extra data rates with their provider. Why cant it just work with Exchange out the box?
