I dont think Blackberrys are Hyundais, as the most expensive Blackberry is more expensive than an iPhone....

Different strokes for different folks.

How do you like they keyboard when you are text messaging? And the predictive text?

LOL okay okay

The iPhone is awesome though, it's ironic too because when they first came out my friend and I hated them, they were basically just eye candy and 700$ for a cell phone! HA, their out of their minds.

Until my friend gave in, they I started liking it and then he talked me into getting one because he loved it so much. The iPhone can do so much more than the blackberry!! The iPhone can do full 3D games such as Sim City and Brothers and Arms. It also has 50,000 + downloadable apps that can range from "shazam" which you hold the iPhone up to a song and it names it for you. To mini piano where you can play on a full keyboard. When you surf the internet with the iPhone it's the full internet page not some cell phone type one. When you leave the country with the iPhone you just have to let att know and your phone works perfectly outside the US. Took mine to Europe and it worked like a charm

If there is wifi near you, you can connect and surf the internet at wifi speeds. You have your camera of course. I could seriously go on and on. The iPhone is just amazing. All these phones out there now with touch screens have the iPhone to thank for that, because after the iPhone was released everyone started doing touch screen

Although I agree 100% to each his own, but just know....the iPhone is amazing/awesome

I have the Blackberry International Data Plan. I can go anywhere in the world, and I will not get charged for international data usage... Can you do that?

My Blackberry also has WiFi. Its also got the new OS on it, enabling me to have browse full HTML webpages as well as full HTML emails. I also need to have an SSL certificate installed onto my phone so that it correctly authenticate.

I would hate to inform you, but there is also a big base for games and third party apps for the Blackberry.... Just have to know where to look.

Actually, on my iPhone I can get an International Data Plan aswell, so yes I can do that. Second, iPhone has had full HTML browsing and Email since day 1 (June 2007). As for games iPhone is backed by leading companies in the Gaming Industry, ex. Vivendi Universal, EA Games, Sega. To whoever said about that's what you have an Xbox 360 for, do you carry your Xbox 360 everywhere you go? I'm sure when you're waiting at the dentist office you bust out your 360, along with a 12V car battery and a 1000 Watt power inverter? Along with a 20" flat panel? All out of your pocket. I'll be right next and bust out a sleek device and just play games on there instead. Graphics wise it almost competes with a PSP, so no problem there.

The thing about the iPhone is, that it is literally a small version of Apple's OSX operating system, so anything you want is just an update or an App away

About 70% of the things I need to look for or just do on an average day are performed on my iPhone. And not to mention cosmetically looks a lot better than the other "ugly" phones out there. There is literally an App for anything, what's next? Downloadable switchblade? (They're beta testing that actually).

I don't know, I use to critic the iPhone to hell, making fun of it and wanting a Blackberry/WM9 phone, but after using one. You just can't beat it

. Why pay so much more for so much less of a phone?

Sometimes I just sit there, put on my earphones and go on my Windows Messenger, Browse the internet, listen to my music, and text message at the same time. What other phone can you do all that at the same time in such a sleek and comfortable device...

To whoever has any more iPhone or AT&T questions, don't hesitate to ask

Well first of all, I have a really hard time believing that, my friend left his iPhone in the washer and after two days of drying it works 100% and that's after numerous drops and falls. It will break if you run it over and beat the crap out of it. Second, you just wasted money buying a new phone because Apple has pimp a** warranty. Have fun with your blackberry, a lesser of a phone...

Apples warranty does not cover physical damage. No matter how pimp it is.

Not to mention Apple Care shuts down at night, whereas Blackberry support is 24/7.

BTW - My Blackberry survived the fall that the iPhone broke making.

I am really enjoying my BB Bold. What other phone has 32GBs of storage? iPhone... I think not.

I like to use my phone to make calls, rather than looking at it sitting on the desk. And also sending MMS.

I've got the Motorola Razor AT&T 450 America Rate. Been with them for years. I've got over 2K annual trailing rollover minutes. If I go with AT&T IPhone (I realize there's a 2-year commitment) can I get the minutes to transfer? The basic AT&T 450 America rate is $30.00 more a month than what I'm paying on my Razor. I dig the GPS features, the Internet and e-mail aspect of the IPhone and I've got the hots to get one.

I have a sprint Instinct that I love. Everyone I know who has a crackberry loves them.

Plantman · #57 02-26-2009, 08:14 PM

I have a samsung instinct with Sprint all in one plan. Everything is unlimited, email, text, pic, browser, voice, data for 99.00 per month.

I like the phone a lot, the only drawback is that it has somewhat small numbers when using the keypad. I have somewhat large hand and make errors constantly.

I may try a blackberry at some point with Sprint.

FYI, Sprint and Samsung phones are tough as nails IMO. Never had a blackberry so I cannot comment.

WELL...

A). If you really need to call support at 2AM. You should use a lesser phone (I recommend a Samsung A117 for you) and not a complicated smart phone, as well how are they going to fix physical damage over the phone?

B). As for quality. My friend's iPhone lasted through a full wash and dry cycle and still worked perfectly with no damages whatsoever after drying. That's of course after numerous falls and bad treatment, so don't tell me iPhone's are easy to break, cause I beat the crap out of mine.

As for size, The "CrackBerry" OS 4.6 only can read up to 16GB. While yes the hardware supports 32GB, the software only reads 16GB. Also, have fun paying $109 for a 32GB SDHC card, LOL!!!!

As for looking at your iPhone sitting on the desk. Shame on you. I just sit around put my headphones on, go on a messenger program, read/reply texts, and go on the internet and browse. =D

As ford MMS, isn't that oldschool? It's time for email buddy! Get with the times.

Not the mention the iPhone is much more pleasing to the eye.

I'm pretty sure it won't transfer over, don't count on me 100% with that though. Any changes made to a plan either by upgrade or new contracts sometimes messed with your minutes. Any more questions, just ask meh. =)
