iPhone or Blackberry?

    The biggest deal-breaker for me with the iPhone was that you couldn't get insurance on it.

    I've wanted an iPhone for a while but I worry about the keyboard being too small for my thumbs. Last time I tried a QWERTY pad on a phone (this was a Sprint model), I got frustrated with it because the buttons didn't feel comfortable in my hand. Anyone else had that concern?

    Buck, there's actually an iPhone app that makes the keyboard (when the phone is turned sideways) huge, taking up the whole display except the line of type. They claim it creates the biggest keyboard on any phone.

    Is it compatible w/Windows Media Player?

    Is the Blackberry compatible with iTunes?

    I have an iPod touch, and it is a little difficult to type on it. Granted, I have huge hands, but I never had that problem when I had a Blackberry and that was one of the older models.

    iPhones are for App phones and high-traffic web users. The BlackBerry WAP browser still sucks today as much as it did five years ago.

    When it comes down to it for me, though, it's the keyboard thing. A lot of people can't get away from the touchability of the buttons. It's can be a difficult transition for some.

    I have an iPhone, my sis has a Crackberry. I've used both, and I'd pick the iPhone any day and twice on Sundays. But then, I'm a Mac addict, so... grain of salt.
     
  9. iPhone. All day long.

    I miss mine terribly.

    Did it run away?

    Speaking of which, the coolest app I have is one that will, if you lose the phone/have it stolen and someone fires it up, email you its exact GPS location.

    If you can wait and you are on Sprint, the Palm Pre is coming out before the end of June.
    This will do cut-and-paste (which the iPhone can't), run on a better 3G network, plus have wi-fi, a removable battery (which the iPhone doesn't have) and an amazing ability to synch with all of your calenders and contacts.
    The keyboard slides in too. Plus, you can "flick" between apps and go back and forth without having to close or re-open them.

    Ah, I was remiss in mentioning the Pre. Yes, patchs is right. It's kicking the iPhone's ass all over the tech world.
