[Cialug] Blackberry question

[Matthew Nuzum]

Hmm... it looks like there has been a lot of change in the browsers with
each release since 4.5. 4.5 -> 4.6 was a big jump, 4.6 -> 5.0 again a big
improvement, and then 5 -> 6 a switch to webkit based browser like in the
iphone and android. What a pain.

I think I'm going to just focus on webkit and opera support for now and hold
off getting a BB.
