Okay gang, need advice. Gonna be changing cell phones here shortly, from a generic phone to a smartphone. Going to be sticking with AT&T as well.
Sooo....iPhone or Blackberry? Commence debate.
-
depends. if you take really good care of your phones, i'd get the i-phone (there is no insurance plan for it...), blackberry's are just as nice. i was going to upgrade in october to an i-phone, but i decided to use my current phone until it either breaks or dies and then upgrade, that way i won't be spending money on unnecessary things.

iPhone.... iPhone.... iPhone!!!
It has been the best phone I have ever used, I had two Blackberries before it, a 7105t and a 8700g, both were great phones but they don't come close to all the iPhone has to offer. However I'd wait until after WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference) because a new model of the iPhone is supposed to drop there, I pray it's 32GB!
Unrelated: This is my 200th post!!

/me throws an apple at Kyle's head.
anyways,
If I were you I'd go for the iPhone. but the Blackberry is pretty popular these days.

Depends on what your looking for.
If you text a lot I would stay away from the iPhone. Its not difficult but its not easy.
However if you don't mind the above, get the iPhone. I have one on T-Mobile and its really a great device. Sure I could list a ton of complaints about it but in the end its goes above and beyond most phones out there.

iPhone. using the internet on it is not very problematic.

actually, it is difficult at first, like every phone -- you'll eventually get the hang of it. i didn't like it so much cause of texting problems, but then i got the hang of it. :yes: B)

Neither. I can't see spending so much money for a phone. :P

Same here. I don't see a need for all of that stuff... if I want on the internet, I'll use my computer. Same with an iPod, if I want to listen to music, I'll use the radio :lol: :P.

Decide what your needs are, then decide how much you want to spend (both ffor the phone itself and the service (AT&T is dropping price on iPhone plans))

I'll be getting a Blackberry Storm in a few weeks... I like the specs and the idea so I may as well try it... I don't like the iPhone... my mom and brother both have one and it sucks. I've used it.

You're just in general an Apple hater.... :bleh:

Okay then:
- The iPhone would be a refirb, so only $99. The Blackberry would be free or $99. There's no way in Hell I'm dropping full price.
- I text some. Not a lot (I think in the five years I've had a texting-enabled phone, I've sent a total of 230 messages)

Then I would definetly go with the iPhone :yes:

And YOU in general an apple fan. :bleh:
I agree with Martin. If you do more texting than calling, go for the blackberry. If you want music and you want some cool features, go for the iPhone. I highly recommend not purchasing a refurbished one. I don't trust refurbished ones

Texting will be tons better when the iPhone OS 3.0 is released, you'll be able to tilt the phone on it's side and use the landscape keyboard. But now that you mention that you don't text very much you have even more reason to go for the iPhone.

I maintain two phone, US and Canada.
I originally had the BlackBerry Storm with Verizon, and a BlackBerry Curve with TELUS. Texting on the Storm was more painful than putting Bamboo sticks under your fingernails, so much so that I returned the Storm and got an 8830 World Edition on VZW... I then sold my TELUS Curve and got a Storm, only because I need a cool phone, and a work phone... :bleh: I use the Verizon (8830 WE, work phone) for emails more so then the Storm, so I sorta had the phones backwards.
Long story short, depends on what your looking for, but typing on the Storm is difficult. They told me to give it 2 weeks to settle it... I gave it a week and a half and discovered that it taking 30 minutes to write an email that used to take 2 minutes to write was riDONKoulous! AT&T (GSM) have a pretty cool new Curve out.
