Black berry or Iphone?

I love my iPhone...

 

PDFs are not nearly as clear nor as easy to navigate on the Curve as they are on the iPhone.

Email integration, the BB service is pretty damn good and very robust. However, the iPhone isn't far behind. And to say that the BB is better is not to say that there is anything lacking about the iPone IMO.

The thing that I trust my BB over the iPhone would be durability of the front screen, if you are rough on phones.

 

the only people that get a BB are those that aren't on ATT, don't have a choice (work buys it), or they can't afford it. Iphone is leap years ahead of BB, you won't be disappointed with it.

There are two types of cell phone owners - those that have an iphone and those that wish they had an iphone

 

After playing with friends iphones i think this is the way to go. I feel that the BB only beats it in email, which isnt terribly important to me.

 

My buddy got a iPhone and he got it jail broke and he gets all the applications free and he drives me crazy talking about the dam thing!

 

what does this jail broke mean?

 

In essence, jailbreaking your iPhone means freeing it from the limitations imposed on it by AT&T and Apple. You install a software application on your computer, and then transfer it to your iPhone, where it "breaks open" the iPhone’s file system to allow you to modify it.

 

What about those who don't WANT an iphone? I'm on Verizon, used to be on ATT back in the day. If Verizon had the iphone I wouldn't even take one for free. HATE them. There's not one thing on an iphone where I think "hey, wish my Blackberry had that." Just my opinion, of course. I hate all touchscreen phones to begin with, though, so my opinion is already biased. Love my Blackberry Tour and wouldn't trade it for an iphone, ever. Although, you iphone guys DO have the simulated beer drinking application. Rather jealous of that. haha.

 

BB screen is plastic
Iphone screen is some sort of glass. However, if you crack the glass, ur fukted .

 

not all bb screens are plastic (8300 series / 8100 series) all newer berry besides the 8530 have "glass" screens

 

I've gotta say, I've had the 8320, the 8310, and now the 8900. When I had the 8300's I would have traded, but I can without a doubt say that I would not give up my 8900 for an iphone, even a free one. When you factor in ATT vs Tmobile there's no contest. Sorry Iphone lovers, but you are not the end all, be all of the smartphone world.

 

why dont they just make it a new class of phone call it multimedia phone or something:

Dumb phone: razr, chocolate, slider whatevers
multimedia phone: iphone
smartphone: droid, blackberrys, palm, windows mobile devices

 

How is the battery life with the new 3gs?

 

it really depends on what you are doing with it. I have wifi turned off and blue tooth turned off. email checks every hour. if i dont surf, i can have 70-80% by the end of the day. soon as I start checking my email often or going on websites it starts sucking the battery down. i think my BB was slightly worse. I can easily make it a day before hitting 20% with regular usage throughout the day-texting, web forums, etc. the BB would be chirping by the end. keep in mind the nextel/bb probably sucks more battery than a normal bb.

 

I do a lot of texting throughout the day

 

texting doesnt suck a lot of battery. i find surfing the web or apps drain pretty quick.

 

BERRY ALL THE WAY!!!! I only said this because I like taking pictures of things and for some reason almost all the Black Berry phones have a small led flash on them. NONE Of the iPhone's do. I also feel having that led flash is help esp at night if you really need to snap shots of something and don't have access to some kind of light source (this help BIG TIME when my dad got into an accident late night in his benz).

 

the dark pictures are def. better on the BB. HOWEVER, the lens sucks on it. You get a much better picture/wider view with the iphone. You can also install free photoshop on your iphone to help lighten the pictures up a bit. nothing replaces a flash though.

no flash is one of the only things i hate about my phone.

 

no warranty on the iPhone sux!

 

you have a year factory warranty on the iphone... it does suck that they dont offer a protection plan. get a decent case though and you dont have much to worry about. ive drop my phone daily- concrete, in mud, sand, etc. clean the case off and its fine.
