SPRINT SUCKS, esp their CS. I paid for their phone replacement plan. When my $300+ phone broke, they said they took that one out of their lineup and replaced it with a $90 model. What a ripoff.

I've had T-Mobile for 5+ satisfied years. I have a 3 line family plan with unlimited data for my Blackberry for about $90 a month.

Well if you want a blackberry (which in my opinion is so the way to go) all the carriers now have the blackberry 83xx Curve. Also the BB 9000 aka bold is dropping in june for at&t and sept for t-mobile (with the rumored 3g network).

I personally haven't owned a iphone, but i haven't heard a lot of good things. I love my curve especially with the wifi at home/hot spots and edge network through t-mobile.

yeah for me the curve is too big.. If I were to get any blackberry it would be the pearl or that new bold one.
What have you heard about the iphones that is bad? I know they cost a lot but I am ok with that.

I have always had Verizon and thankfully have never had any problems with them.

The main things that i heard were the problems with the mail functions, the not long battery life, and people that had just stupid problems with them.

But i've only owned the BB curve so i couldn't tell you exactly. But if you think the curve is to big, then don't expect the bold to be any smaller.

Here is a nice video comparing the Iphone vs the new Blackberry Bold:

What you need to do is wait for the rumored Blackberry Touch Screen THUNDER:

This is a cool link thanks that blackberry is still a little porky and less screen space then the iphone.

I've started out with AT&T then it turned into BellSouth, then it was Cingular, now it is AT&T again. There is a new (to my area) MetroPCS that is getting rave reviews. Then again, come call it MetroPOS.

Do you guys have it up there?

I've had no problems with email and I have 5 different accounts hooked up to it using 3 different protocols. I can get about 3-4 days out of a full charged battery, which is what I would expect.

The problems I have are reception issues, but I don't know if that's just AT&T, where I'm at, or the phone itself. Though I did have it lock up on my 3 times in the 10 months I've owned it. The edge network internet sucks bad, most of the time when I needed it, it didn't work, the page just sat there trying to load. But it works fine when on WiFi.

If I had to choose again, I don't think I would buy it. But I've only come to that conclusion recently, if I would use more of it, like as a planner and put notes on it, I probably would have a different opinion. I think it's a good product, especially if you want a new iPod and phone at the same time, but in terms of a "power user", I just don't use it that much. It had a lot of potential when people first started to jailbreak them, I could remote into my servers and do stuff, but since Apple decided that wasn't cool and squashed that, I've pretty much lost interest in the stock functionality.

I'm surprised to hear bad things about Sprint. I switched from t-mobile to Sprint, not because t-mo was bad, but because I wanted a phone they didn't have. My internet access with sprint is the best I've ever had. The only place I'm ever low on signal is this Subway (deli) where their radio signal is always staticky! There has to be something going on over there in Edison on Talmadge road!
