Re: Blackberry or Iphone
 

i have the BB Storm and love the thing. My pearl was nice, but the storm is just that much better.

8 gb of memory and is easily expandable to 16 by just changing the sd card in the phone. now that the app store is open, it has pretty much everything that the iphone has

Re: Blackberry or Iphone
 

BlackBerry all the way for me... the IPhone is a toy. :D

Re: Blackberry or Iphone
 

except wifi :bh

The new blackberry storm comes out in a few months and looks pretty sweet. They made some nice improvements and got rid of that stupid (to me) clicking.

Re: Blackberry or Iphone
 

we should get specific when we talk BB's. The new storm is terrible, the slightly older curve is amazing.

The iphone will always be the iphone (top dawg).

I dont own either phone and if i were to get a new phone i would get an iphone ONLY if verizon carried it. so my choice would have to be a BB because i never plan on leaving VZW, nor do i care to hear opinions of why i should, etc

Re: Blackberry or Iphone
 

my storm on the 3g network downloads data faster than my pearl did using wifi. so ehhh on the wifi. :D

Re: Blackberry or Iphone
 

except for all the wonderful apps that are wifi only...such as slingplayer. Such a great app, but who needs it ONLY in wifi. Or in the places were you can't get 3G because (at least in my area) ATT sucks. Same reason slingplayer makes no sense for the iphone.

The Storm was made to compete with the iphone and I don't think it can begin to do so until it has WiFi.

Re: Blackberry or Iphone
 

That app applies to a very small group of people. Personally I'd take battery life over wifi.

Re: Blackberry or Iphone
 

is the storm the touchscreen one? If so i'm not interested. I want a physical keyboard, and both the newer and older model curves have it + wifi

Re: Blackberry or Iphone
 

Not all carriers carry the new curve. If they had, I would have went with the new curve or even the bold over the storm, but that wasn't an option. I went with the Storm due to it's improved features over the old curve. The touchscreen isn't 'That' bad. It has a high learning curve and a significant tolerance level. But it is manageable.

Re: Blackberry or Iphone
 

Theres some misinformation in here.

They both have "push" emails.

Blackberry has a desktop redirector, BIS, or a BES.

iPhone uses ActiveSync just as a WinMo phone does, to connect to a corp Exchange server.

If this is going to be primarily a business connectivity device, the Blackberry wins HANDS DOWN.

If this is going to be a toy that you get emails on and some calendar/contact stuff to, then the iPhone wins.

So it really depends on:
1) what your primary purpose will be
2) which you type better on

Personally, with all the security issues with the iPhone, I'll be a BB guy for a LONG time.

Re: Blackberry or Iphone
 

I personally think that Android is going to be the way to go for the future. However, I also have a BB Curve as my second line and prefer it over an iPhone.

Re: Blackberry or Iphone
 

I would take battery life AND WiFi, which hopefully the Storm 2 will provide. I just don't think the first-gen storm was a good competitor for the iphone. It came with a boatload of problems which appear to have been/are being at least partly addressed.

Re: Blackberry or Iphone
 

Love my Blackberry...but if more internet use is in store, go with the Iphone.

Re: Blackberry or Iphone
 

Sounds like the blackberry bold is the way i'll be going. They want 299.00 for it after a 50 dollar mail in rebate, then they want me to pay 75 bux a month after tax. 20 for voice plan, 35 for data/call display/text/voicemail, 5 for my long distance plus admin fees and taxes. We get raped so hard. Canada has the highest cell phone rates in the world.

Re: Blackberry or Iphone
 

Most bb users pay 70 a month. How is 75 considered rape.

Re: Blackberry or Iphone
 

Iphone users pay 89.99 a month if they get unlimited data and txting and the cheapest voice plan.

Re: Blackberry or Iphone
 

I've had BB & now, I-Phone. I-Phone much easier & less trouble, IMHO!:tu

iPhone

Re: Blackberry or Iphone
 

I have an iPhone now and I really like it. It has its problems (texting, and occasional un-responsiveness to any commands).

I am making the switch to a Blackberry 8820 because of my job... I can't have a camera at work, and it is one of the few smart phones without one.

Re: Blackberry or Iphone
 

For an all around phone you cannot beat the iPhone. There are other phones that kill it in terms of specs but they do not offer the polished interface of the iPhone.

The apps store just puts the iPhone that much further ahead IMO.

Re: Blackberry or Iphone
 

thing thats sort of keeping me away from the iphone is that it doesn't have a basic thing like linking calendar and contacts together. You can't go to your contact list, pick someone, and make a calender event from them. It's a basic thing that even 8 year old palms have.
