Blackberry Storm2 w/ 16gig microsd=my perfect match...and i've owned a iphone 3GS and curve 8330.

It's the perfect mix of features unless your an app nut.

Iphone was great, but AT&T was pitiful in DC.
 
ummm i don't see the "+ipod" argument.... i mean you can sill play music on the BB.. so whats the big deal?

cuz having an ipod is much better as a music player... much easier to find accessories, hook up to a car, syncs with itunes which almost everyone uses, goingthrough music on an itouch is way better than on a blackberry.... I mean you can put music on basically any phone but as far as ease of use and conveniencenothing will beat having an ipod on your phone

with that said I would never leave the iphone for any other phone... i cant get bored with this thing!

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.
What's wrong with WinMo?

It's small, its nothing fancy, no flip screen, no touch screen (on standard bb's)...it just is what it is. Push email and BBM are itsselling points plus the ease of the qwerty keyboard. I think people look at those other phones as gimmicks with too much extra going on which is why they holdthe bb up with such high regards. Too many companies trying to sell flashy form, not function.

I think its the easy ipod format that people get used to. Apple overall sells these nice looking gizmos with the simplest functions ever. Everything is prettystraightforward with ipods whereas other mp3s I've seen try to make things so different from ipod tech that they end up frustrating the user.

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

I have the phone so if you have any questions let me know, didn't update the thread because i was basically talking to myself.

iPhone is a monster no doubt, but I hate the high price of the plan with AT&T.

On the flip side, I have the Tour and love the phone.

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.
What's wrong with WinMo?
They're garbage compared to any BB, Android phone, or iPhone.

I'm realy only familiar with HTC WM phones, so I'm nit sure how other WM phones are. But they are capable of doing pretty much anything.

i copped during the black friday sale at dell with 20% cashback so it cost me about 400 plus change.
its a very nice phone, tons of features but there is a learning curve. The maemo os is premature but it is very promising.
you basically have a computer + phone in your hand.
all of these cons can be fixed with a simple firmware upgrade

the e71 and e72 is cheaper than the n900 and its more of a smartphone than a mobile computer like the n900.

Keyboard's great, and the browser is enough for the light browsing that I do. I carry two BBs, one for work, and one for personal use.
What WinMo phone did you have?


Mogul and TP2
 
I've had the BB and right now I have the iPhone 3Gs. Sorry man, nothing is really touching this for a long time. My battery life on my phone is fine. Ihardly find it dying on me in the middle of the day. I can go a full charge and last through a day easily. Plus, it's not that much of a hassle when I havea car charger or whatever. And if I know I am going somewhere, I'll just grab the charger with me anyways.

The BB is definitely a great phone, push e-mail is amazing, but I can do all that on my iPhone and more...
Nothing is going to touch the web browsing standard that Safari/iPhone has set..

Honestly, I was going to go to with a newer droid phone, or even try the N900, but all those phones feel WAY too slow compared to my iPhone..
HTC makes nice phones and all, but I was looking at all the droid ran phones at Verizon and what not, and they were sluggish.
I can move between pages easily. If you're iPhone is jailbroken, it can do basically anything these other phones are doing.

How? I got a 16gb storm2 and I got my music on there too. Music and BBM ftw.

My last phone before both Storms was WinMo, and that %%** was straight garbage. My text inbox wouldn't delete itself so after a couple months my %%** wouldbe so slow and take forever to delete the texts and the internet browser was garbage.

Yup. Best phone I've ever had, especially when they update the OS

this guy knows what hes talking about
 
I had an iPhone since August 2008, and in Feb. 2009 i made the switch to the Bold. In three months i switched back to the iPhone. The iPhone has a better gpssystem, and better internet browser. But the bold was more good looking and the buttons were a plus
