BB are the most over rated phones ever!

Iphones you will never get bored with. If you get the BB you will spend all your time wishing you had got the Iphone and being in denial and telling everyone how great the BB is.

The only good thing about the BB is BBM (Blackberry messenger). But if you don't know many people with other BB's then it's useless.

100% iphone against 8520. bb 9700 is much better than the bb 8520 but still no match for iphone

Go for the I phone will take some time to get used to it. Also you can now download an app called what's up which will allow u to message to people on black beries or I phone for free

BB rated phones.
Iphone you will never get bored with.
The apps are never ending.
The camera is crap on the 3gs.
I've had my 32gig Iphone 3gs ages and still not board with it.

no choice - only iphone 3gs - can't live without it now and wonder how i ever did. the most flexible electronic device ever invented. its my phone, ipod, organiser, mobile internet browser, GPS, TomTom route jobby, emergency camera and with the apps available its just about anything else you want it to be...weather forecaster, baby monitor, converter - you name it!

no choice

Iphones are decent, had one for awhile now and can't complain tbh.

As for apps, the only downside to iphones is the memory gets full quickly (Not as in storage space but as in CPU speed memory)
If you 'jailbreak' an iphone you can get a program called cydia which allows you to download sb settings and winterboard which help run and clean up the iphones without rebooting it etc.
Other downside is, the trial applications in the app store are awful and bland, alot of games take awhile before they get 'good' so you miss out on some decent games and they can be alot of money. But there are ways to get every application free

Also with the iphones as standard, you get an ipod (function) for starters, a program called maps which can also be used as a navigation system and there are so many extras with it being an apple product.

Have a friend with a BB and he says it's decent but doesn't need to use the internet all the time, but I'd always pick an Iphone.

Got my subaru theme loaded up today

How could you even compare the BB to the iPhone.
The iPhone is in a different league to any other phone.
My mate has a SE satio and he hates it, wishes he had got an iPhone

think i must be the only one that never like it, i ended up complainin to O2 how bad it was and overated they cut my contract from 45 to 27quid then changed to c905 for free, which i prefered for a good camera, but it kept breaking so changed to the new LG which i lost within 2 days in a taxi so had to buy an N95 off ebay with the money i sold the iphone with. moral of the story is im getting a BB next month with my upgrade, maybe the bold 9700 or the curve 8900 think there the ones

ps this was the 2nd edition iphone, oinly good thing was jail breaking it and playing nintendo ds games on it
