I've used a BlackBerry for 7 years. I vote for iPhone.

I've been with Blackberry for 3 years. Going to jump on the iPhone bandwagon when the new version comes out. Blackberry is only good for e-mails. iPhone for everything else basically.

Just switched from iPhone 3G to the Bold this past weekend. I love the Bold. It's sooooo much better.

iPhone doesn't allow background apps to run, it sucks for e-mails/texts, Blackberry pushes everything instantly to the device, and there are tons of apps that are around. Nothing has to be tied to their app world.

It’s time for us to bury the BlackBerry and move on to modern mobile -- even for e-mail

I've owned both, typing this on an iPhone FYI. I miss the bold's physical keyboard and flashing new message indicator thing...but imho, the iPhone has a better interface and the large touchscreen is nice as well. I'd say to wait and see if a new iPhone is released soon, but neither phone will disappoint.

bold ...

shipill · 05-28-2009, 06:44 PM

iphoneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Jaypod · 05-28-2009, 06:46 PM

Have and use both.

Bold for work - much better for business, especially email, calender etc.

iPhone for personal - mostly due to the fact that I always have my ipod with me.

If you dont need it for work - I say iPhone, blackberry apps suck!

FStop7 · 05-28-2009, 07:07 PM

I have both. For personal use the iPhone rules. For work use the Blackberry rules.

penny31 · 05-28-2009, 11:04 PM

I jus went with the bold and i havent put it down since the second i bought it. its so e.z to use and the fact of having physical buttons feels a lot better. no regretsss here!

thanks for your help guys!
