Hi Everyone,

I'm facing a dimema...Iphone 4 or stick with blackberry (bold 9700)? I know this topic is very subjective and very similar to many questions posed like, "which watch should I buy, Breitling X or Breitling Y;" it's all personal preference. My issue isn't not having a preferance (I would prefer the iphone due to all of its features), but I am worried that the email capabilities won't match up with blackberry's offerings, and to be honest, I'm worried about my professional appearance with an iphone compared to a blackberry...any thoughts or experiences to share? Background info (needs based on industry)- I am in real estate and help run an indie label...

I've had a blackberry for the past 5 years, last month I upgraded to the iPhone 4 and I will never use a blackberry again. It's like comparing an Atari video game system to a PlayStation 3. The iphone is faster, great screen, amazing camera, tons of applications, and internet browsing on it is great. :guns: Blackberry

Blackberry is mostly old news now, but the one area where they are still unmatched is email. I suppose thats the reason so many professionals still use them. Ive yet to find another platform that makes it so damn quick and easy to send/receive. Im not constantly shooting emails these days, so im currently using Palm WebOS.

I don't have an I Phone but I hate my Blackberry. I've had numerous models year after year. Anything should be better

Its all a matter of opinion bud, Some people love Breitling Some hate them, Some drive German Cars ,Some like Japanese cars. I think Droids are cool phones but they are way too big ,and bulky The X ,Incredible,Droid 2 all are the size of a remote control for a tv. Im an Apple person ,and think they make great products so I tend to go the way of Apple. I love Japanese cars ,and wouldn't even think of looking at a German car , not that they don't make cool cars , Im just not a fan of them.

Bingo, and that's why I still use a Blackberry.

One area nobody ever seems to mention is how well it performs as a phone. In that regard iphones are not good. (Although I don't think Blackberries are great either, TBH.)

The bolds and Curves are great email machines. The Storm is horrible however.

The Droid I have is at least as good for email as the BBs I had (worlds better than the Storm). But it is far superior as an actual phone. Best phone quality cell I've had.
