Blackberry BOLD vs. iPhone 3G
I use GMail, so I can get the mail via web page rather than push if needed.
The hard part of leaving an iPhone is that most things are one-touch simple. I have tried moving to the Nokia N95 and the HTC Touch Pro within the last few days. I really had a hard time with the N95, so I am weary of trying the E71. The Touch Pro was on the Sprint (non-existent) network. I had full signal at the store, and no signal at my house, plus the Wi-Fi strength was 50% even neer my router.
We can ding the iPhone for what it does not have or do, but it does do alot of things well.
Process the paperwork tomorrow =D
Do you or anyone else have any information on the HTC TouchPro release date for AT&T? I currently have a Treo 755p on Sprint and have been waiting on this phone since its announcement 🤤 . It was suppose to be today (Nov. 4th) according to several sites but no announcements yet.
thanks.
I'm in love. I may dump blackberry for this phone. Although it weighs something like 5.7 oz.

It really just depends on what you use your phone for. If you want an entertainment based device for music, browsing the web, and fun to use applications then I'd say stick with the iphone. If you use your phone primarily for making calls, text, and email then I'd say go with the blackberry. The internet experience will also be a lot closer to the iphone with the bold than older BB models. For me personally I like the bold. But for the mass user most will choose the iphone because its a status symbol.
With a $199 price tag, I really don't see the iPhone as a "status" symbol anymore. I guess when it was $600 for the original you could call it that but $200 doesn't put the phone out of most f...

to the Storm. Get an I Phone and a BB Bold all wrapped up into one, with more robust features and access to the nations largest 3g netork. Plus rumor has it the Storm is launching for $99.
or you can stay on ATT network and depend on a wi fi signal to get connection, buy apps to do things VZW phones can do out the box, and get racked on MB charges ( VZW= $1.99 per MB and you guys know how much you charge LMAO...not even a contest ) and since our BB package for internet is the same as att, why not get the best bang for your buck. SInce att only has 3g coverage in less than 30% of America, and VZW has it in about 83%, the choice is simple.
Best BB ever, Biggest Network and MOst Subscribers.
BB Storm FTW.

Second you can edit , create and view all Microsoft word, excel , power point documents . I should know. I am using one right now.
The BB does use the same touch technology an I Phone uses but steps it up with SurePress. Again do some sort of research as you are maing yourself look worse and worse as this goes along..
And I am typing on one right now, it is the beauty of being one of the best in this company. I just installed the OperaMini Beta on it, so dont bring ur crippled Treo, I would crush it in every aspect.
And I can read just fine, apparently so can you. So when...

getting a blackberry in the oilfield equipment industry is the kiss of death, you no longer have free time and means that you are now no longer able to say I was away from my computer when you sent that email.
Everyone i know dreads that moment and treat it like they are waiting to hear they have cancer.
Swear to God. I work for an extremely large company and you spend your time avoiding that moment.
Don't get me wrong BB is a good company but the more peo...

Its kind of funny that this argument is going on, for two reasons, I see more and more businessmen with iphones now, i don't know why, and if there is one thing people hate in my industry the most is the moment where there boss says "go ahead and get yourself a blackberry."

It is 169.99 with a 70 MIR so that equals 99 bucks.
Was anyone else gonna point out his errors today? Foot in mouth time? It's $200 after a $50 MIR.
As for VRZ having a better 3G network and more...

If you are one of those jackasses texting and typing emails while you are driving, I hope crash your car into a river before you kill someone else. Anyone who who bitches about not being able to text and drive should have their license permanently revoked.

OMG get a life buddy... Everyone does it... Come back to reality...
No. No they don't. Bad drivers and morons text while they are driving. That's like saying "everyone drinks and drives... get over it"... No, they don't. Reality will actually catch up with you when you crash your car into someone, maybe kill them because you are an infantile teenager that can't go 2 minutes without texting buddies. Here's a thought. Try actually using the cell the CALL them when you are in the car. That's at least safer than texting.
I wonder if that ass of a train engineer would agree with you after killing all those people while texting. Oh, I guess you can't ask him because he's dead too.
I'd love for you to have this conversation with someone who's had a family member killed by someone texting and driving. Perhaps they would feel better when you told them, like me, to just grow up and get a life.
You are pathetic. You may not be a teen, but you sure think like one... 🙄
Call me a troll if you like, but that's better than being a "road hazard".
Hahaha. You guys post "get a life". You truly revel the teens that you are because seriously, only kids...
(continues)
And come on. Idle threats and tough talk on the internet? That's original. 🤣
And I suppose since you don't really make the rules here, or enforce them, I don't have to "get out". I've posted nothing that violates the rules of the forum. If you were actually in charge or something you'd know that.
Just because I made a valid point about texting and driving, you are getting all upset and telling me to leave. That's a big sign of your maturity there... 🙄
And BB Storm has a virtual physical keyboard. Check it out on phonearena. or better yet, try one. BB is too smart of a company to not understand what it is that made them succesful. They are not going to go the route of Apple and have such an inaccurate touch screen for messaging when their devices rely so heavy on the messaging.
I am using one. When I am typing right now it feels like I am using a regular keyboard, it pushes back on my finger and the keypad is perfect for guys and gals to cruise 1000 times faster than the I phone or Instinct. Typing an email on my Storm is like typing on my comp. I am flying through it and no errors whatsoever, ...

As for the touch screen keyboard. Your body will never build up a muscle memorization to the screen. It has nothing to memorize there for you will never be as good on the as you will a regular keyboard its just not possible.
As for not memorizing touch screen lay outs, why would I ? I dont text when I drive ( thats just plain dumb and dangerous ) and it is 100% voice responsive for making and recieving calls, shoot I can even pull up my music , check my acct and send a voice message just using my voice through Bluetooth.
