[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5172791, member: 8835"] I dunno, my wife had an IPod Touch and a Blackberry. She just switched to an iPhone 3gs 32GB Initially, she thought the BB would be nice, it has a keyboard, web browser, email, BB messenger, so she could surf and stuff when not near wifi. However.... the browser sucks compared to Safari the email client sucks at handling attachments, compared to iPhone the track ball retainer clip is notoriously fragile and pricey to "legitimately" replace the battery life is worse than the iPod Touch or Iphone 3g that I have the BB PIN system for exchanging info so you can BB IM is painfully tedious to look up the only thing she liked was googleTalk, GoogleSync, and BB messenger because IMing with it and GoogleTalk was free, whereas using MSN or yahoo IM actually cost you SMS messages even though it wasn't SMS (we found out AT&T's price gouging when her 1 month trial with the Tilt, a WinCE phone) revealed that. GoogleSync was nice, because it keeps your calendar and contacts synced up with your google account. Switching phones literally meant setting up Google Sync on the iPhone, and suddenly all her stuff was there from her BB. For work, I have a Verizon BB, and it's lame. Verizon limits your usage, so I avoid using it for anything except work emails. Additionally, BB just changed from using a standard USB charging connector to a new "different" USB connector that is non-standard. Despite the EU and a lot of other countries and the cell phone manufacturers all agreeing to use the USB standard. not that I like Apple's funky USB cable, but at least its standard for most Apple toys. While BB was once the king of smart PDAs, they are losing the war. Google and Apple are pretty much on the right track of making small portable computers that happen to be able to make phone calls and are shaped like a cell phone. [/QUOTE]
