Sure, the iPhone 3G launch is tomorrow. Consider this an amuse bouche. Or the opposite of that, an annoy bouche. Whatever. Something salty to make Friday taste all the more sweet!
The subject of today’s battle royal? Nope, not iPhone vs. Blackberry. That’s old. This time it’s Blackberry vs. Blackberry, Blog vs. Blog, over the iClone to end all iClones: the touchscreen Blackberry Thunder!
Says our sister site Crackberry.com, 10th degree Blackberry belts and reigning world champions:
Touchscreen BlackBerry Thunder Keyboard To Utilize Haptic Technology… AMAZING Implementation! [...] Leave it to RIM to CRACK the touchscreen keyboard nut.
Says Boy Genius Report, craftiest of all mobile blogsphere Ninja:
The keyboard is incredibly annoying to type on, and the screen actually shows ripples even when pressed ever-so-lightly. [...] Most of the people who have handled it thinks it’s a joke.

We already told you that Apple threw a brick-stuffed glove down on RIM’s foot with their Enterprise plans during the iPhone Software Roadmap event. So it’s only natural that it would be the topic du-jour for the next CrackBerry.com Podcast (iTunes link).
They invited yours-truly on to talk about the SDK and Apple’s enterprise plans and it’s a pretty comprehensive chat. Fun too — even though I led us down a couple of somewhat unnecessary forays into Windows Mobile (hey, I still use and love that too).
Anyhow, if you’re jonesing to hear what BlackBerry fans are thinking about the iPhone, it’s definitely worth a listen. Also worth noting: if you’re wanting to get all the Smartphone Experts podcasts (TreoCentral, CrackBerry.com, WMExperts, and Phone different) in a single feed, we have that up on iTunes now as well.
