I have had a Blackberry 8830 World Edition for a few weeks.  I like it – makes nice clear calls, checks my e-mail, and the browser is adequate for when I’m not around wi-fi for the iPod Touch.  However, the app ecosystem is just not there yet.  One such example is the Facebook app written by RIM for the Blackberry.  My biggest complaint is that you can’t turn off notifications, so every time someone does something on Facebook, your phone beeps.  The consensus online for getting around such hurdles is logging out of the Facebook app each time you’re done with it, or, uninstall it.

I chose the latter option.  If I need Facebook on the Blackberry, I’ll just use the browser.  I can’t wait for an iPhone option on Verizon, though I doubt it’s coming anytime soon.
