Blackberry or iphone?

[wetnwild]

Yeah I know, it has nothing to do with dating. But I am in the market for a new phone and I can't decide between the Blackberry or the iphone. Which one would you get and why? And if you say Blackberry, which one? There are sooooo many choices out there now!

I just got the new BB Bold with the touchpad function. I have no idea about the model # but there is only one that does not have the nasty trackball.

It is a good product and works like a charm. I use it for Business, Travelling and private email/calls. Very satisfied !

I got the samsung jet. It has 3 buttons which i like. Then they brought out an ultra version which I resent

I have the iPhone and i love it! With the thousands of apps it has helped me a tremendous amount of times when i could be in a sticky situation! The downfall is that you NEED a case on it. If it gets dropped on a hard ground without a case then most likely you will crack the screen.

No phone. I prefer pagers and phone booths...





Also if you take a pic with an iPhone, the GPS location of where you took the pic is saved into the exif data in the pic. So unless you want a stalker, get a blackberry. haha

that you should also take into account which provider you want to use. I have had Verizon for about 12 years. I love them and have never not had coverage even in the remoteness of Tennessee. lol I bought my daughter the droid for xmas and she loves it her bf has the iphone and likes her phone better. It's like having a small computer in your hand has tons of apps, takes and sends pics without email involvement, has a qwirky keyboard inside with the touch screen on the outside and costs less than half of what an iphone costs. Oh and those commercials that say you can't surf the net while you're talking on the phone are bs because she sat right here in the living room and did it.

p.s. I want to know what you're doing in the phone booth and where the heck you can find one in the US?

Indeed !! I loved my old BB 8700g that had the wheel on the side, actually I'm still using it with my U.S. Simcard in it. The Trackball was really unreliable and as far as the iPhone goes... I dont like fingerprints on my display !

[wetnwild]

houston, yes, I was also thinking about the provider of course. I have been with Verizon for 2 years and never had a problem either. And I just started looking at the Droids. Good info, thank you!

and you're right about no phone booths in the US. But we all know that 8ball is from another planet hehe!! J/k 8ball, we love ya!!!!

WW, I'm on my 2nd blackberry. Current one is the Bold model and I love it, the battery seems to last a long time. I'm on Verizon and never have had a problem for years browsing, emailing, pictures everything. My sister and her hubby have the droid and they just love it too. Go to the Verizon store and play with them.
