Gurjeet Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Its upgrade time. Do I go for the blackberry Bold (9000) or wait till oct (when my contract runs out) and get an Iphone? I cant decide. Help! Quote
maz77 Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 I vote Iphone but it depends on the type of user you are Quote
rtbiscuit Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 iphone wasn't sure at first, but its been the best phone i've ever had. i've used loads of windows based PDA's and always got frustrated with them. the iphone has been seamless Quote
BladesGrant Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 I have the iPhone and a blackberry pearl for work. The blackberry is terrible as a phone but good for email usage. The iPhone is just great in everyway in my opinion. Unless it's for business use then I would say iPhone everytime. Quote
IanS16 Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 iPhone any day of the week! I have had a Blackberry and it was crap in all honesty. Other than its email capabilities I dont see what makes it a 'great business' phone at all Quote
SunGodRA Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 iPhone Blackberry is a bit iffy for business email unless you have Blackberry Enterprise Server installed, and even then you cannot accept things like shared calender invitations etc. But if its not for business use, I guess its down to personal choice Quote
maxi-glasgow Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 I have used a few Windows based handsets and they are very frustrating to use for simple things like text messages etc but I got an HTC Touch Diamond when they came out and due to it's TouchFlo 3D interface it makes it very easy to do text messages, make phone calls etc and I would never change it for any other phone, especially an iPhone. I even have TomTom Navigator 6 installed so with the inbuilt GPS device I just stick it in my Ipod drinks holder and it works a dream. Plus with it still having Windows installed there are millions of little apps you can install. Quote
dcash5 Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Business - Blackberry - But be warned the bold battery is Sh!te Personal - Iphone anyday of the week You know when you have both you are a 'balla' Quote
rich5259 Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 I think the iPhone is over-rated but a good marketing trick - having bought an iPod touch for the wife I'm discusted that they now want money for an O/S upgrade (pushed on the iTunes interface every time i connect on the PC) to enable what they forgot to put on it originally. I use a Nokia E71 for connection to the corporate email (Outlook) and all of my diary. Works great except the Vodafone Sat nav keeps getting lost within a mile of my destination Quote
oldchap Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Blackberry very good for managing emails whilst away from PC, everthing else go for IPhone. Quote
Digsy Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 iphone - had mine 4 weeks and I'm blown away by what a good device it is both for business and personally Quote
srobrien Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 IPHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEEEE!!! it rocks. By far the best gadget i have ever owned. R Quote
SunGodRA Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 the new iPhone has a built in compass - you may laugh at this, but it means that TomTom can work very efficiently on it (once its released) - and aparrantly, the new video recording is very good as well Quote
Gurjeet Posted July 21, 2009 Author Posted July 21, 2009 ended up going for the blackberry. Had it for 2 weeks now, not regretted it for a second! Quote
Jay Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 I am looking at getting the N97 nokias answer to the i phone Quote
SunGodRA Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 I am looking at getting the N97 nokias answer to the i phone +1 - looks nice, but have to wait till November till I can get free upgrade Quote
Dene8 Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 I'd be honestly lost without my iPhone, still think its easily one of the greatest inventions ever! (Infact i'm writing this from my phone as we very speak ) Quote
nixy Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 and its soon to be available on orange Yes, my network matches my car........ Quote
Chesterfield Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Same as Digsy for me. I got an Iphone 3GS about 3 weeks ago. Ive never been that bigger fan of touchscreen phones, and thought that the Iphone was a little too "gimmicky" for me. The thing is just brilliant. It works smoothly, and even with my sausage fingers I can text on it faster than any of my previous phones touchscreen or not. The applications are useful, finance updates, email and web browsing is good on it too - the safari browser is just great. I can navigate websites on it with ease, and no pesky stylus needed either. (something I dont particularly like with the Samsung Omnia for eaxmple). Quote
nixy Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 at sausage fingers........... Start a franchise with Liam - Sardines and Sausages R Us! Quote

BulletMagnet Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Prolly a bit biased.... Had mine since they first came out in the US. Learnt how to "persuade" them to be useable on any network too Currently running 3.0 FW on my 2G iPhone with no problems. Quote
