EP82

I always assumed that they were aimed at suits from the city but having read into them a little more i may consider one over the iPhone, especially after the whole pre-order farce at o2.

I just came across this cool blackberry site: BlackBerry® Prince or Pretender Quiz it allows you to sample the interface, the GPS really impressed me. You can also win MP3's and stuff on their as well!

Does anyone else use a blackberry outside of business?

The newer Blackberrys are becoming more consumer friendly phones. I have one for work and it is okay.

Not a patch on the iPhone to be honest.

Removed.

I have the unfortunate task of supporting crackberry's at work, right pain in the arris, and the users get obsessed by them. Can't do without the poxy things for 5 seconds. The data charges can be quite steep as well, especially when roaming.

boxst

Erm, yes. That is true I do 95% of business by email and tend to be wandering aimlessly around and get withdrawel symptoms if my Blackberry isn't working!

(although nothing to do with the original question)

ditto, i have customers with them and there always phoning up with "email" problems. 99.9% of the time its a problem with the phone or provider never had a problem with an iphone user as they generally know how to use them

I've got a curve for work, it's OK but I could live without it

I don't use it for anything other than making calls/emails

Although did use the GPS when i was walking around Manchester looking for one of our offices the other week which was handy.

BuRR

I have one of each.

BB for work, iphone for home.

If I had to lose one, it would be the BB. The keyboard is much better on the BB, as the tactile keyboard is reassuring, but I could live without it if I had to.

I'll be at an O2 shop somewhere tomorrow, to buy my 3G phone (if I can find somewhere that has one in stock)
