Most Iphone users do better on a Storm II or a Torch. | Bold 9700 is the newer Bold 2 with the touchpad.
I used to have the old Bold 9000 for work, and disliked that one even more since it was so fat.

All you do on a blackberry is text, IM, call and email basically. BB's are good for business, or if you're a busy person. I personally own an iPhone 4. I don't need to carry an mp3 player and a phone, and I can do so much on the iphone for fun. I still think Blackberrys are dope though, wouldn't mind owning both  .

Most of the people who argue blackberries are better than iphone say cause of bbm. Whatsapp is way better cause its cross platform to any smartphone, unlike bbm only being specific to blackberries. Maybe im just a biased iphone fan boy (owned all 4 gens).

yeah exactly i personally think bb's are pretty sick , but i guess iphones are more friendly and hv better UI in a way. Bb's are efficient tho, iphone is more vast only coz it has jailbreak which literally allows u to do ANYTHING

however i love that everything is on the iphone, just one touch away. ipod, gps, endless amounts of all types of games, etc. i traded phones with my gf for about a week (she has a bold 9700 and i have an iphone4) and i couldn't wait to get my own phone back. after she gave my phone back she said she wanted to trade again, for a longer period of time :P

Otherwise i'd alternate between a bold 9780 and iphone 4 =) and maybe an android too. Quote:

yeah holy crap tomtom gps on iphone is sick , the UI is amazing and I love HD youtube and the retina resolution.
but srsly samsung is competing with iphone , theyre release on the galaxy was already comparable with iphone 4 (in specs only imo ) but did u hear about their new samsung release? Samsung Infuse 4g http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_infu...-news-2194.php
its like beyond retina display, Super AMOLED technology. Hummingbird CPU, clocked at 1.2 GHz. The handset runs on Android 2.2 (Froyo) Two cameras have also been updated and the Infuse 4G now packs an 8 megapixel primary snapper and a 1.3 megapixel secondary unit (that camera destroys iphone ). LOL i wonder how iphone will compete with that

I got 9700 and iPhone4. I use my bb cause it's easier to txt and I got a bunch of friends on bbm and on bbm you can have "groups" of chats which is much better then what's app. I carry both phones, but the iPhone only comes out for camera/games when bored the rest of the time it's berry. Surprisingly I like the browser on the berry more cause it's faster... For me anyways. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Could just get an ipod touch 4g but I guess the camera would be lacking, the new bold 9780 also has a better camera I think. When I owned a bold 9700 the browser was pretty slow, but that was os 4 or 5, not the new os 6. Quote:

LOL i wonder how iphone will compete with that | Yeah it might look good on the stat sheet but I think it all comes down to user experience, iOS vs android, and its tough to compete with iphone's jailbreaking community. Doesn't samsung make the screens for iphone? im not surprised they're holding out on the super good shiet for their own phones | |

Map quest still requires 3g / wifi network, the tomtom gps app does not require anything, u can turn off all data network and wifi and it still works (i tested it , works 100%) | |
