iPhone or Blackberry....what are you using?

[Delphinus]

I hate my BB 8230 ("Pearl Flip"). Piece of junk. Too long a shopping list of complaints but the basic gyst is it's buggy, and even when it's not having issues, it's cumbersome to use.

Get this: Although in my case the problem is an actual glitch, a common complaint is that the call log only shows missed calls, and not placed calls or received calls. The problem is that there is a setting, call log shows: "1) all calls 2) missed calls and 3) no calls." Somehow they magically get set on missed calls. Ok, whatever. But if you want your call log to show all calls, you have to select "NONE" because what they really mean is "no calls get redirected to your message log (and thus not your call log). OH YEAH, REAL INTUITIVE. Seriously, who writes software like that? .. In my case it's not a setting, it doesn't matter what it's set at, it never shows anything except missed calls. I've been looking into what it takes to fix it but I think it's coming down to "I need to bring this phone in", it's getting to the category of being beyond DIY to correct.

If you're OK with spending the coin on an unlocked phone, and not sure about an iPhone, look into google's Nexus One phone. http://www.google.com/phone

I might go iPhone if I can find an affordable way to upgrade into it from this current phone.

I have the BB 9700 and am very happy with it.

iPhone here, very happy with it. I can honestly say that i went the first 2 months with it without ever having to power it down and reboot it. Try THAT with a windows based BB.
My daughter just got a new BB and had had 3 replacements in the first month.

I have an iPhone and love it. You can even read these forums using an app called TapTalk!

I've used Blackberries before and I've found that the menu system is not very intuitive.

Let's say you want to change the ringer. Most people would look for something called SETTINGS or PREFERENCES. But they put it under PROFILES. It took my mom 3 days to figure that out.

The one thing that the BB has going for it is that they are dirt cheap (compared to the iPhone) and there are so many different kinds of BBs compared to the iPhone (basically one with different capacities).

The iPhone is the best internet capable phone on the market hands down. We'll see what the Nexus and google will have to show but you can't beat Apple's intuitive software.

got a BB Storm2 from work and does exactly what it's designed for, makes me a slave to work even on my off hours.

Apps been using mostly is Blackstar (to get lat/long fr the GPS) and the camera though looking like be able just to use geo-tagging. Drove around with Trapster when I first got it for red light/photo radar sites but the novelty has worn off.

What I would like is to be able to use telnet, sure there's an app just that access would be blocked.

Im using a BB Storm. I actually love the phone but the pretty much main (and only) problem with storms is that they are slow/laggy. BUT... the new software updates for them (or that they come with) are much better and they are pretty quick and dont freeze as much.

Also, I tend to drop my phone all the time (like, minimum 1'ce a day) and the BB still does alright with that (NOTHING compares to motorola phones though). I like having my big screen and a good camera on the phone, and it still works with falling so much. If I had an Iphone (which would be cool)... i think it would break cause I drop it so much (And I hate phone cases... none of those for me).

Cheers,

Chris

I have a BB curve and it is POS. I don't know much about the iphone's but I do know I will never get another BB.

BB Curve all the way, if you are looking to use your phone to "communicate" then go blackberry. If you are looking for a toy to pass some time then the iphone is for you.
