Apple iPhone 3G

2X the features, please do elaborate, lol. I'm not hating, I just enjoy watching fanboy wars and rants. It's really quite cute.
Honestly as a guy that does some of everything for my office, but not on my phone, there would be 3 dealbreakers if I was to use an iPhone for business.
1) No cut and paste (my biggest E-Mail friend, lol)
2) No (easily) user replacable battery. My laptop has 2 batteries, I feel a work phone should have the same option
3) No MMS. I need QUICK access to pictures and sending them to global co-workers. During a tele-conference, sending a picture is worth way more than talk.

For those without those needs, have fun. For those with those needs, wait for something that covers all needs well. Pretty much everything i...
(continues)

the dare can cut/paste (have tried with texts, not with email) and mms and removable battery 🙂

Video capture is not as important to his business as it it to putting down the new iPhone. Nothing new here.

From what I can see you can get fast access to pictures and the battery issue is an Apple store away. You can just take the phone to the Apple store and they will replace it. They will only send it away if the battery you need is not in the store. The reason for that is it is faster to over night it and have it replaced at the main R&D site instead ordering the battery and waiting for it to arrive to replace it. Also if video capability is a deal breaker you have problems.

u talk bout what minor things the iphone dont have but what about that fact that the iphone has twice the features not only the blackberry but most of the phones out there

Where do people come up with this BS? I want you to specifically name each feature the iphone has that a new Blackberry Pearl or Curve doesn't have. Lets see if you can name twice the features as you claim.

Come on don't waste your time you can't do it. I could care less about the iphone I'm sure its a nice phone but stop F-ing blowing it out of proportion already. Its a f-ing phone with a great internet browser and a very nice UI not really much more.

Gee, I wonder what those other "purposes" are. You'll be wishing you had the iphone when the BB server "goes through updates".

Hey Patrioticgal,
I'll take a Bold or curve any day over the Chinese made lemon iPhone. My wife and I went through 7 iPhones and never got through the issues and lack of features and support, let alone poor reception, dismal speaker phone, no MMS, no cut & paste.... Keep your iPhone toy.

BB Curve-Not impressed, broke it, wasn't that good.

But I broke it on purpose to clarify

I don't think anyone can argue that the iphone has the edge in internet capability and multimedia,(even without video capture) and I love the internet, but it is unexplainable why the new iphone does not have cut and paste and universal search and turn by turn GPS directions.

Well you can get directions on GOOGLE, and if you use Windows Live with GPS it gives turn by turn.

I think if you tinker with it enoug you could get it to work, you just have to play with the options.

I guess if I stand on my left leg and raise my right arm holding the iphone high in the air and hop a bit down the street, I may get it to work. Or I can just buy a BB Curve and have it work right out of the box.

LMAO when cell phone people talk crap to one another, I get this warm fuzzy feeling...in my pants.

No cross that, damn hamster got in there again, I swear you think an oil company would not let hamsters roam free.

All that I'm saying is that it's alot more difficult for a first time user to pick up a blackberry and feel comfortable using it than what an iPhone is. I understand blackberry and have no problems with them but I think the points being made to decide between the 2 devices are not substantial enough to say that the blackberry is a better choice.

The people who can't figure out a blackberry, aren't going to know what to do with an iPhone either, though. Plus...could you imagine responding to a long email on that thing? My fingers ache just thinking about it. I'd end up throwing it out the window. Serious.

Agreed, it'd be difficult either way, but it's alot easier to learn on the iPhone. And I thought the iPhone keyboard would suck horribly bad at first too, and until you get used to it, it does. Once you do though, I guarantee you can type out an email faster on an iPhone than even the most proficient Blackberry user. Really; even if you just borrow an old one from someone, I think you'd be surprised at how nice it really is.
