    I was deciding between a blackberry, a htc touch pro2 and the iPhone 3GS. In the end I got the iPhone and I'll tell you now, get the iPhone if you want a media/Internet/games/utilities phone lol. Basically, the iPhone has most things and I'm even answering this question from my iPhone. I tried my uncles blackberry curve and it's OK but the iPhone is much more fun. The biggest downside about it is the poor battery life, but if you are able to charge it every night or are willing to get a portable charger then the iPhone is the best. However, the blackberry curve is great for texting/writing because it has great keys and the htc has a slide out keyboard. People complain about the iPhones touchscreen but once you get used to it it's fab. Also it's got an amazingly precise auto correct so if you horribly misspell a word it corrects it. If you think it's wrong then delete the entry before moving

    onto the next word and it won't do it again. Internet is also awesome on the iPhone although the blackberry is good for email etc, not that the iPhone isn't.

    Personally I'd get the iPhone but if your nit interested in the fun side then get the Blackberry.

    I believe the Blackberry is covered under Verizon and I know that iPhone is covered under AT&T(proud owner of one). I would first look at the coverage for you normal operating areas. If one provides more of the coverage you need, then that should answer your question. If they are pretty much the same, then it becomes a question of functionality. Will you use the device for professional purposes primarily or for fun and games? The Blackberry is slightly better choice when it comes to the professional world due to the internet browser style and advanced software options for making presentations and scheduling multiple tasks with reminders. However, if you are using the phone for fun, then the applications offered by the iPhone far outperform any other platform. Seriously, the apps are limitless and very reasonably priced. Apple also has some very clever tech solutions as well. I hope this helps. Best wishes

    the two and each month as quickly as I get my abode telephone invoice, I ask myself why. i think of three human beings have the quantity. i think of i've got made and gained (finished of the two at the same time, recommendations you) 4 calls on it in the final 6 months. yet nevertheless...I save it. Why? i do no longer know...would desire to be some deep seated lack of self assurance, lol, some as yet undiagnosed, unnatural emotional attachment to landline telephones? Yeah...phonaphobic separation sickness or some thing...hmmm...contemplate whether it would qualify me as heavily disturbed adequate to ditch gainful employment and carry at the same time a examine or some thing? Lol...nah, no longer likely, so i assume i'm going to basically save paying a somewhat ineffective invoice each month till???
