Screw this, just make it easy to setup up your damn SDK. I tried twice, once earlier this year when it was supposed to be easy, and no luck.

I got Android dev working and Xcode (which was too easy!). I have done J2ME dev in the old days. Come on RIM< get your act together.

I had similar difficulty with their SDK in early 2010, back when BB was still a force in the market. Nothing makes developing more fun then you're entire IDE crashing, closing, and deleting all non-saved data. Getting it setup wasn't too bad (it still had some quirks), keeping it running was a bloody hassle.

Really? I ported my app to PlayBook in less than a week, if you have any eclipse experience (or even xcode) you can get it working..
