apple or berry?
 

i need a new phone apple or blackberry

pro and cons

and i dont know anything about phone models .. so uhmm yea

Shouldn't this go into the Mobile Phone area?

berry if you have a lot of friends with berries. if you're interested more in apps then go with the apple. the choice is simple, the two phones are very different.

oh and if you choose to go berry, get one with an actual keyboard, meaning not the storm. I've heard stories where you just start to hate the storm on screen keyboard.

Are you looking to go with a phone upgrade with your carrier or are you going to buy an unlocked phone? What are your cell phone needs?

If you're doing an upgrade and are on Fido, I'd go with the Iphone since the only Blackberry they have is the BB Pearl. With Rogers, they have more selection of Blackberry's. If you're with Bell or Telus you'd only be able to upgrade to a Blackberry.

If you go to the phone forum and do a search you'll find the answers you're looking for.

I hate the storm's keyboard.


anyhow i chose the berry, i prefer it. don't really need all the apps the iPhone has to offer.

personally if you don't know what you want just get a regular phone lol

im with rogers no contract.. probably will get a phone with contract.

i guess i did post on the wrong forum haha..
i think im gonna go with the iphone.. thanks guys

The screen on the iphone is very fragile. I know a number of people that have cracked screens.

I'd suggest phone forum too.

Also are you planning to get a data plan with it too? I've never used an iPhone so I can't speak for the iPhone, but you won't get full BB functionality unless you get a data plan. Yes, it has Wifi, but the implementation of it requires that you have a data plan. If you want to use straight Wifi, you're stuck with only being able to use the BB Browser in Hotspot mode. You won't be able to use your other apps with just Wifi only.

^ iphone is the same i believe. either way you're kinda wasting money if you get the phone but not the plan to match it.

iPhone if you want a media center
Berry if you want a phone

They both do what the other can, just better in some areas than the other one it. The iPhone is epic wins on apps, media, etc but it epic fails on multitasking and isn't as good a "phone" as a solid blackberry.

The berry's are good phones, rock solid, but lack in applications and not as good for media. The bright side is that you are limited in space by your media card (16gb now for the Bold I believe. Last I checked, it was limited by software, not hardware for how much it could handle.)

Hope that helps a bit. Personally, I'd lean towards the bb Bold. if you can wait a bit, the Bold 9700 will be coming out.

u can also think of it as if you want a touchscreen based phone or not
they both have so many pros and cons that i narrowed it down for myself using that

ive been using iphone for 2 yrs.... no plans to change to anything else

tried N97, Bold, E71, X1, Andriod.... nth works as good as iphone for me

iPhone - OH LOOK AT ME! i got 10000000 apps for everything
Berry - I'm a business guy, with a lot of business friends on bbm
n97 - I'm the latest and greatest but my camera cover scratches the camera
e71 - i'm like the European berry, slim, sexy, and useful

all phones have goods and bads just play with them and you can find the one that YOU like. not everyone will be happy with an iPhone/berry or whatever

just try it out

can you do this funny description again with HTC dream or SEX1?....

Can a person try a phone from rogers and then return cuz he or she doesnt like it?

berry - will get you addicted , its like crack cocaine. got my first berry through work and havn't looked at another phone ever since.

also good for students - lets you keep on top of group work via email.

berry = get the job done anywhere , anytime.

^ like a slutty g/f

why don't you just demo it in store before you buy it?

thought the stores only had plastic dummy phones, not the real deal to play with

Well for Fido, I know the store close to my place (Robson & Richards), next to the IGA, they have the plastic dummy phones and the actual phones. I'm not sure about the Rogers stores and kiosks.

try Banana

no

and

no

Actually I think you can but only swap phones. When I got my bold from rogers last November I had like a 30 min limit if I wanted to SWITCH to a different phone if it turns out I didnt like the bold.

yes, you have 30 days.
