I still miss features on my old BlackBerry that my iPhone does not have. Selective profiles for one. I used to be able to put my BlackBerry on silent but allow only certain selected numbers to still sound. I could also make some numbers automatically go to voicemail or another nominated number. Very handy when you are being harassed by an ex. I could divert all calls from him back to his own number so that every time he rang me, day or night, he would get a busy signal.
Security is a valid and at times paramount requirement.

At times I have used RIM devices, and a question came up the other day about the possibility that the new RIM tablet would have Windows 8 touch screen capability.
