iPhone to blackberry: how many of yall have made the transition??

i hate this kind of thinkin....if a phone is popular how does it become a knock against it?

Don't know, but confirmation of the effect can be seen in this example:

Fact of the matter is, people want to be different. No one wants to be one [color= rgb(0, 0, 0)]of[/color] a million, they want to be one [color= rgb(0, 0, 0)]in[/color] a million. Advertisers use this a lot. Look at Apple itself,who's slogan in the 90's was "Think Different" which could be extrapolated to mean, "Be different and don't get a Windows PC likeeveryone else."
 
its all marketing though...i like da technology and da superiority to speak for itself..and da iphone is waay better then a blackberry....seriously ablackberry is just a

glorified sidekick to me, i dunno why people so gassed over em....i mean w/ my 09 im literally doing everything a 9700 does... da term "business" isso ambiguous & subjective...

da iphone unlocked is a undeniable beast....
 
i went from a

iphone > BB> iphone

and feel like possibly going back to a BB, (bold to be exact)

the only reason i switched back to an iphone was because the 3gs
 
you will miss apps but you will love bbm and not having to check emails if its for work and also verizon >At&t so im happy...
 
Once you go black you never go back! Had the BBerry then switched to iPhone to try it out then back to the BBerry! Doubt will ever go back to anything else!Blackberry is much more way legit!
 
This is my exact dilemma: was offered a straight up trade 16gb 3gs for blackberry bold.

Basically its music vs. BBM to me
 
I got bored with the iphone when I had it. Hated the weak battery life, all those apps available didnt appeal to me, and having to clean the screen so muchsucks. I have a Curve now and waiting to get a Bold 2 and couldn't be happier.
 
loved my 3gs but battery always died and no service and i live in the dmv area. I got a bb 9700 5 bars and no need to charge battery for 3 days. It all dependson what you want the phones are equal and the two best companies on the market imo.

most of those phones have horrible battery performance, weak multitaskin, or too expensive for what its now pretty

standard specs.

You can't be serious.


Windows mobile is garbage. I will NEVER go back to a WinMo phone.


I dont know anybody who's ever had an Iphone/BB/Droid and went back to a winmo phone and was pleased. They don't compare.

i'd have to say the multitasking is far from weak, especially compared to a jailbroken iphone
andriod multitasks alright, symbian and winmo has been doing it for years, pre is built on a linux platform
battery life, i'll give you that

but a n900 is far from cheap, as is an iphone when including the plan
snapdragon isnt standard, nor are 5mp cameras in the US, pre matches the iphone hardware-wise, beats it in eye-candy interface and multitasking and losses insupport and ecosystem
im all for nokia, but even they say maemo is a testing OS and not a final product

i was thinking of making the switch from my iPhone to the N900. heard any good things about this phone?
great phone hardware wise, but unless you r technical with software, wait until the successor
the maemo OS is going to be great but as of now its missing primary functions, portrait mode for example
plus its bulky but worth the size and price if neither are important to you
