Iphone or Blackberry
 
Currently using Blackberry and have been for past 2 years. I do not have problems with it, etc. Time to get a new phone, was wonder how you folks would lean---iphone or blackberry?

I am with ATT not gonna change, so do not need to hear how bad or good different providers are...

i don't own either but have some technology freaks as friends and they are saying Iphone they have had both. Said the iphone is much faster and user friendly than the blackberry and the blackberry often freezes up or just "starts acting stupid".. unless your getting the blackberry curve.. everyone seems to agree that those last very long and are a little rougher but they aren't as "cool" lol

I'd personally go for the iphone.. they're internet is FAST

I use both - blackberry as a global work phone and iphone as personal phone. In a close vote, I'd say iphone. Faster, better internet (I even access SC when in China, Europe, wherever (except Korea and Japan) on my iphone) and the voicemail system is cool. Good luck.

just went from crackberry to iphone and i am very pleased with the switch.

My blackberry is starting to go out and I will get the iphone. I use my wifes to check fantasy football and the sc and it is fast plus the pictures on the iphone are really good.

I used Blackberry for about 7-8 years and multiple different models. I got an iPhone and I won't go back to Blackberry...

I just went through this same investigation and have determined the I-phone is where I am heading, have not made the switch yet, but will next week.

I heard they are badazz, not as fragile as an iphone...

iphone plus they have tons of free apps you can download.

The iPhone is way better. I used a blackberry for a while and it was okay, but the iPhone is great. I hate AT&T but I keep their service just to have the iPhone.

The Droid is supposed to be amazing. I have a buddy that works for bestbuy in the cell phone department and he says the Droid is smoking fast (he uses the iPhone).

Hebert 12-10-2009 12:49 AM

today i finally switched to AT&T from verizon and got me an iphone with an otter box! i almost got me a droid but decided to go with iphone cuz the driod is 1st gen technology and i try to stay away from anything that is 1st gen....in 2 years if the droid is kicking the iphone's azz i'll switch back.

Jumping in on this late: First to give a little background- I've got Sprint/nextell(nevertell) service which maybe 90% of the problem. I've had a direct connect blackberry for 3-months and the big issue (besides never having service) is the phone "locks-up". According to Sprint, this may happen very"infrequently"( Bull ****) when multiple apps are running.- My question is : Isn't that why you have the phone? check e/mails-text-and even use the phone?---- when the phone locks up you have to turn it off-take the back off-the battery out-SIM card- and put it back together. That's not acceptable- seems like a phone problem to me that sprint doesn't know what to do with. It takes beer inspiration to hit all the text buttons. My next phone will be something else and not with sprint!

I have the same service and have never had an issue with it. Which Blackberry do you have?

redfishman 12-10-2009 03:01 PM

Re blackberry type--- "Blackberry curve"- It does have the "direct connect"-maybe that's the underlying issue....dunno.... except it's aggravating

That's the same one I have and I haven't had any kind of issues like that with it.
