Suck

OK: BlackBerry and Nokia — you suck. Why can I configure BlackBerry Internet Service over the air from my phone (or, at worst, with a Web browser), but to configure BlackBerry Enterprise I need a Windows client and my phone connected over USB? What's up with that?

Oh, and Symbian? You suck, too. Why is your toolchain so bad? Good luck trying to get a usable development environment on anything but Windows… and even there, you're crippled by an antiquated compiler. How about a standard, sufficiently-open-source set of POSIX tools and libraries, so I can use Xcode, or even GCC from within a shell? That is the reason you don't see any cool hacker things for Symbian, with the exception of apps for Python on Series 60.

*sigh*

Anyway, back to helping Elaina pack.
