My .02 with the 3G iPhone ... Back to BB
ok so first off let me say that i'm a long time blackberry user/fan. not eternally long but pretty long time i think . i can count back to the 7230 , 7290 , 8700 , pearl , 8300 , and now my 8310 ! so i'm definitely a blackberry person. but being that the iPhone is so hyped and definitely a " solid " device in my book i tried it. i'm not disappointed in the iPhone or calling it useless ... its by no way such but here are my 2 cents :
Pros : beautiful screen , alot of storage space ( 16GB ) , reliable operation , great internet device , nice camera , and beautiful to look at ... lets face it its sexy Cons : Horrible signal ( in 3G only ) , no MMS , horrible battery , no video , screen gets dirty very quickly , touch screen is nice at first but then its annoying , my screen was slightly yellowish , keyboard too sensitive and sometimes typed words i didn't want , and did i mention no push email unless u get MobileME or a Microsoft Exchange Account ( which to me means only that account is push ) I would also like to say that watching movies / music on the iPhone is awesome but i couldn't judge it too well because my battery died extremely quickly ... way quicker than with other 3G devices like the Blackjack 2 or AT&T Tilt. And to finish it off i wanna say that it is a nice device and to everyone that has one and loves it your OK in my book but i will stick with Blackberry. :bb:(y) |

i feel your pain man when the first iphone came out i did the same after just a day using the phone i went back to my 8700 i just cant get used to not haveing push email and a keyboard. i am using my E90 and my 8800 off and on depends what kind of work i am doing that week. but ipone is so far away from beating any blackberry. people willl say i am wrong. i am if you are going to compare it as an entertainment tool but blackberry for e mail and text message and doing some basic office work rocks.

thats why the blackberry + touch is the ultimate solution.

as long as you have BB data plan then you can use that Sim in you iphone. you lose visual voicemail on the iphone.
BB data plan = data on both iphone & BB. and it is not for everyone, same as BB. |
Thanks. I think I'm going to buy one and cancel the plan after thirty days and pay the etf.

thats the best way to do it this time. enjoy both of your phones, your getting the best of both worlds.

yes you have to activate in stores and it does have a sim card, same as the first one.

yes it is removable
|
Easily removable. They even give you a tool (a fancy paper clip) to insert into the iPhone to remove the SIM.
Of course, 3G iPhones can't be unlocked *yet*; they can be jailbroken. |
thanks, this is good to know for me because it sounds like I can buy the phone and exchange SIM and have two phones working with an interchangeable SIM.

only a matter of time i think. actually pretty good that the unlock people haven't gotten it done yet. but it will happen, but not sure its that big of a deal this time as no 3G with Tmobile.
|
Unlocking won't add much value for people who want to switch to T-Mobile *and* use 3G. Different frequencies...
|
yeah and they are working on deals to bring it to China. If they get that done then there will not be quite as many getting unlocked and shipped there. China has a ton of unlocked original iphones.
