iPhone will sync with Exchange...

It's the Blackberry that you have to buy a $3,000 app to make sync with Exchange...

Trick is right on the money. Here at the state the iphone is the state standard mobile device all of our users use.

We run Exchange and everything is puuurrrfect for them.

Great answers guys. Thanks for the help. Looks like I'll be getting the new iPhone.

We just got iphones on Friday and LOVE THEM! I love the fact that I went for a job the other day and didn't have to carry my phone and ipod. It's truly an awesome device. When they finally get MMS capabilities, it will be worth it for sure. We are on a family plan and get a really good discount through work on the plan so for each of us, it's only $75/month for the 700 minute plan with unlimited texts and data.

However, I've now developed a serious addiction to the PCH Slot Machine game app. I play it all day...

Have you ever seen anyone that got an iPhone and didn't have this sort of reaction or say, "Gosh I should have got a blackberry?"

No.

I hear ya but I'm just saying there are people that don't like them.

I've yet to meet one. And you've seen one? Of course there will be people that don't like them. There are people that would whine about a Ferrari if you handed it to them. But they are very very few.

It might not be for everyone. My Mom loves her Crackberry and has no desire for an iphone. It depends on your preferences. I like the apps and ipod most about it.

I have a blackberry for work and an iphone for personal. There's really no comparison. The blackberry feels like a 1980s PC compared to the iphone.

That's quite an endorsement. Is it because the Iphone is so intuitive to use? I thinking about getting one for my wife.

My mother can barely find her way around the new laptop I bought her, but she absolutely loves her iphone. She txts and users her apps like a pro.

Go Mom


Go Mom

It actually was last Sat.

Graphics, processing, UI, apps, etc. It's like night and day.

The glass screen will break if you drop it face down...that is a fact, ive seen it many times. The Blackberry on the other hand is a brick.

Ive always said if you want it for personal use go with the iPhone, if you are a businessman go with the Blackberry

 

[YosemiteSam]

You pay $80 total per month for two cell phones both with data plans?

I call BS. That has to be $80 per phone. We have two iPhones with data, etc., and we pay about $150 per month total.

We have a 34.99 family plan (300 minutes we've had it for years) and two data plans at $20 each.

My iPhone stands up to a beating much better than the Blackberry, and I put them both through a beating. I've dropped my iPhone countless times and no cracks on the screen. The material is harder and more scratch resistant from a chemical makeup standpoint than the Blackberry. Also, the businessman comment is ridiculous. I'd much prefer if my employer allowed me to use the iPhone on their system. It'd be great to get rid of the Blackberry, which I find useless for anything other than checking my work e-mail. But even the iPhone handles e-mails better; you can view word and excel documents MUUUUUUCH better. Almost any possible "business" use is better on the iPhone.

We have a 34.99 family plan (300 minutes we've had it for years) and two data plans at $20 each.

But after taxes, etc., you're paying closer to $100 for the cheapest possible plan.

I could agree with this statement although I would still choose the iPhone either way myself, but I can see how business people like the blackberry better.

Not sure why.
