Thanks phxgirl, that is the second vote for the BB Bold. I am starting to look at the Droids now too. Verizon has 2 models. I always think its not wise to get the first version of anything new but they already have really good reviews!

Anyone else know anything (good or bad) about the Droid? Or have an opinion on the other two?

I've had a BB for years (8830 world edition) I like it maybe because I'm used to it. I've messed around with the Iphone and I like that too. I prefer the blackberry for business use, but outside of that, I like the Iphone better. The web pages look like real web pages instead of how it looks on my blackberry. For personal use I'd say Iphone. No experience with the droid, but I've heard good things about it.

I was checking the Verizon site and they don't have the Blackberry Bold. Just now I was looking at my yahoo email and there was a big ad off to the side for the BB Bold, said it's available at T-Mobile. So you guys that have this phone, do you like T-Mobile?

iPhone!!!!!!!!!! I've had a BB Pearl, BB 8330, and BB Tour. I've had my iPhone for two months now, there's no way I could go back. It's the simplest 'smart phone' by FAR.

Regarding the GPS tagging of the pictures, it's a feature you can simply turn off.

Also, apps, apps, apps, apps, apps, apps, apps....apps. There's soooo many of them. While some are useless, there's many that are fun and innovative.

Not comparable. T-Mobile sucks in germany and it certainly does in the US !

Verizon is the way to go, maybe AT&T...

That may be, but all in all it still comes down to anything made by Apple being an over-priced hunk of pretty-yet-useless garbage. Macs and Apple products are designed to target the urban hipster, AKA people that care what others think and want to look rich.


Don't be an iDiot; don't buy an iPhone.

I wouldn't switch from Verizon WW. I also heard complaints about TMobile and AT&T service. I have international service with Verizon too and it works like a charm for cheap.

Apps aren't my thing, they seem too expensive so not a selling point for me, but maybe you'd like them. I read an article about being an app junkie and how addictive they are, hahaha.

Verizon is out of stock on the BB Bold? That's a sign...

Just don't go Palm, my office hates them and they'll probably switch to BB next renewal.
