So weird, I just got a Blackberry!

[Sylph]

Ha!

I kind of find it strange they 'confronted' iPhone and Blackberry. I thought it was more iPhone vs. the Android phones.

Bölackberry is all kinds of booo!

Totally random, but I'm thisclose to suing Apple 'cause it's taking them FOREVER to unlock simlock on my phone. I siwtched providers as soons as I could but now I still cannot use it...

I got so used to that touch pad that texting on taht old Nokia now is taking me longer than any silverager...

So how "big" is iPhone in Deutschland?

I hate how massive iPhone was (and is still, kind of), it's a big turn-off.

What's wrong with Blackberry

[alphanguy74]

honestly, the only blackberry I'll ever have in my hand is when I'm up in the brambles picking them (although wer'e going all thornless next year!) I said that about debit cards and computers, too! But besides being a technophobe, I would never try to see the internet on a 3 inch screen. It's just not worth the eyestrain.

I went from a sidekick to a blackberry ti the iphone 3 to the droid and now to the iphone 4.

i wouldnt trade my iphone 4 for anything.

[Sylph]

You need Apple's Cinema Display.

iPhone 4 is kind of ugly. And it's getting its ass kicked by other phone now, I think.

[JackPeyton]

Oh, it is way ugly.

And the droid is a better overall phone.

However, the iphone has the best app market, by far, and when you use an app based phone, wouldnt you want the best app options? That why i tossed my droid, the app store. It didnt suck, and it was not awful by any means but compared the iphone app store? No contest.

And the iphone takes better pictures.

I enjoy my iPhone 4 too

The size is exatcly why I like it that much: I had one of those very first big screeners (SX 1 by Siemens mobile) before they invented the term smartphone and absolutely loved it. Too bad the mobile devision of Siemens got the shaft and rightfully so, because annually (and I mean by the day! each year on the very same day!) the software crashed and burnt...

I waited anxiously for a similar phone and the IPhone is just great.

From a professional view, Blackberry is better but you can write rather quick with that touchscreen, too. But I just can't get over that strange look of a Blackberry - the screen is too small to actually use it properly for surfing the web. I don't like the new IPhone too, prefer the previous shape/design.

[Sylph]

Oh, when I wrote massive, I meant: everbody has one. Which is annoying.

With this new one, I just don't like how it looks on the back and the look on the sides...

Try walking through a law/economics faculty... There's just no escape! And from bad Ralph Lauren clothing choices as well.
