The new phone has GPS capability, and AT&T doesn't want it to seem more cool than the iPhone. Never mind that the iPhone is not suitable for corporate use, whereas the BlackBerry is, never mind that you have a weird text messaging paradigm vs BlackBerry's qwerty keyboard. Never mind that AT&T will lose a lot of corporate business when their customers realize what they've done and that Verizon will be happy to be their BlackBerry service provider, complete with GPS functionality.
Myself, I'm not a fan of the BlackBerry. I thought that I was going to get one at work, and now that I've found out that it's strictly a messaging device, I'm not sure that I want one. I need a device that I can remotely administer my servers if I have to, and though I might be able to cobble together some sort of system where I could email SQL commands to my servers and they would send the results back the same way, I think I'd rather have a WinCE device that allows interaction with my servers at the GUI administrator level.
