Blackberry Curve. I'm addicted to the fucking thing but I need it for my work. I'd be fucked without it.

Do/did you actually own an iPhone?

Did you experience the Storm troubles discussed in this article? http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/27/technology/personaltech/27pogue.html?_r=1&em=&pagewanted=all

Yes, i actually owned the first and 2nd gen iphones and they both sucked. The new Black berry storm is great but both phones have their problems and there will never be a perfect phone. I have experienced problems out of both phones but not as many problems as i did out of the iphone.

For what it's worth, the same guy at the NY Times reviewed the Storm and the iPhone

The Storm
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/27/technology/personaltech/27pogue.html?_r=1&em=&pagewanted=all

The iPhone (this review is of the original iPhone--not the new 3G version which is cheaper, has more memory, and newer software 2.0)

the NYtimes article could not be more biased. One example from the article is his criticism of the storm

"Furthermore, despite having had more than a year to study the iPhone, R.I.M. has failed to exploit the virtues of an on-screen keyboard. A virtual keyboard’s keys can change, permitting you to switch languages or even alphabet systems within a single sentence. A virtual keyboard can offer canned blobs of text like “.com” and “.org” when it senses that you’re entering a Web address, or offer an @ key when addressing e-mail."

Yet just a few weeks earlier when he reviewed the blackberry bold he said:

"Since these are BlackBerrys... they have a hundred ingenious shortcuts save you time. Hit Space twice to get a period, a space and a capped next word. Hit Space when you’re typing an e-mail address to get the @ symbol. Apostrophes appear in contractions automatically. And so on."

Either he some how forgot that blackberry's (including the storm) have the double space feature he loved. Or he is biased.

whats the use of wifi in blackberry if the service provided by mobile operators is so cheap that it makes wifi useless. i discussed this a year ago with a canadian brother working for rim and otr he agreed with me
