I really don't see the point in these comparisons. In my view, they are completely different phones with different targets. Are you a teenager with an excessive amount of media that NEEDS to be accessed at all times and no business responsibilities? 3GS if you can afford it. Do you need to be able to actually do anything business related while still having some media on hand? Then Pre.

For business needs I swear by the Blackberries. Push email, Documents To Go, Internet browser, need I say more?

I still think Sprint should have gone after an exclusivity on the BB Tour. It's going to be the BB Bold's main competiter, and had Sprint snagged an exclusivity on it, I think they would have s...

VZW has RIM? Is that why the one BB exclusive you have is their worst device to date?

If anything AT&T has RIM right now, given that the Bold is far and away better than the Storm.

Lets see.
We have the Pearl, Pearl Flip, Global Phone, Storm, Curve, and soon the Tour.

AT&T has the Bold, Pearl, (2)Curves, and the Global phone.

And there is nothing wrong with the Storm. The new OS on it makes it work better. It's just something you want to complain about.

The Storm 2 will be much better, and we are geting the Atlas and the Tour. 3 New BB's we are for sure geting.

Not to forget HTC Touch Pro 2, HTC Snap (which the Verizon verison will have WiFi), and Android.

Every company is getting android sooner or later... and the storm still sucks with the OS update. And how do you know the storm 2 will be better, let me guess because of all the verizon cool aid you drink you get to be a product tester?

Nope. WiFi, OS 5, and the non-click screen. I think with all these changes and additions it will be a great phone. And I am sure you can say that also.

Let's see, if you sell lots and lots of something, that equals quality?

I guess the iPhone is the world's greatest cellphone then using that logic. 🙄

You are such an idiot.....Verizon doesn't "have" Blackberry just because they got the Storm. Up until that device AT&T ALWAYS got Blackberry phones first (See Curve, Bold, Pearl). Verizon has nice selection of Blakcberry devices, but by no means should they even claim exclusivity. If anything, Verizon has LG.


Brag on that. 😁

And I think all the exclusive stuff is about to go away with this new FCC person.

Anyone notice the new Apple TV Ad's for the iPhone 3G S? It doesn't say AT&T only... Makes ya wonder... 🤨

Personally, I am all for no more exclusivity agreements, it's bad practice. I think the little guys like U.S. Cellular should have a shot at carrying new devices, instead of having to wait 2 years or more.

Let the people decide!

Jun 19, 2009, 5:33 PM
The people did decide. They decided to go with the bigger companies instead of these little ones.

I think if there's one thing that pretty much all of us can agree on, it's that this is a really stupid waste of government time and money and an overstepping of their bounds.

So spending more money is a bad thing? Like on your cell phone service?

Check. Mate.

I have both, and I love my BB.. but my pre is SO much more phone.

To your points... I have the same email accounts on my BB and my pre.. 90% of the time, Im getting notified on my pre first.
I have docs to go on my pre, its on from the factory
And the browser.. there is abosolutely NO comparison of the browser on these devices, and no one will dispute that.

The ONLY things I give my BB the edge on is battery life and customization.

The OS on the blackberries is just outdated and offers no wow factors anymore.. but I still love mine, and the value is unmatched.

The Palm Pre is still a very new, and yet, not fully updated device. While it's WebOS software is a rwevolutuionary setup, the Pre has the slide out QWERTY keyboard, as the iPhone does not. There is really no comparing these two devices, as the chassis are vastly different in multiple aspects. A much better comparison for the iPhone 3Gs, would be Sprint's s30 series Instinct.
