I have had the pearl for 18 months now. When I first got it I hated the thing, then the roller ball packed up so it was sent away for repair. In the 4 weeks I didn't have it I realised how much I took it for granted. Wouldn't have any other phone now ! I was due an upgrade in October but am waiting for the new 9700 to come out on O2 ( as they are a useless bunch of arses and are draggin' there feet with release !)

Blackberry is a great tool and never let's me down. Safe reliable and great Battery life. Bb messenger is awesome.... V v v cool and fun. Really like my blackberry and could not be without it.

However I LOVE my iPhone 3GS!!! Proper proper toy...

Think of em like cars...

Blackberry is a BMW 530d....amazing all round tool that does most things well and never let's you down. But ultimately nerdy and as cool as brown cords. Thrilling it is not!

iPhone is Ferrari. Look cool. Sometimes work amazingly and put huge smile on your face. They WILL let you down though when you really need it to work!!!

Could never be without my iPhone... But will always have a blackberry in my other pocket!

Same way no one has a Ferrari as their only car!!!

Got a bold 9700 too. In fact that's what I'm using to type this post. It's all good except for signal keeps disappearing into nothing for no apparent reason when I'm on the net! Like now!

I got an iPhone 3GS to replace my Blackberry Storm 2 but i'm having great trouble in letting the Storm 2 go now lol, i'm tempted to now keep it and have it as my dedicated work phone (i'd planned to use my old Nokia 6500 slide for a work phone as i thought it was more 'robust' when under cars etc.)...

Storm 2 was good, but not a patch on iPhone...

going to completely condridict this...

i work for vodafone on the tech team for both iphones and blackberrys. and the blackberry has MUCH more faults than the iphone has ever had and 90% of them get returned within the 12months!!! they are constantly causing us problems and i prob deal in a 75% bb to 25% iphone problem ratio. and we sell quite a few iphones over the the blackberrys each month so from my point of veiw they arent all that

however this doesnt distract from the fact when working they are brilliant phones! but u might aswel splash out on the iphone in all honesty. the apple support is soo much better when things do go wrong!
