I concur. I've had a Blackberry curve for a year now and I really wished I had waited and seen the launch of the "Droid" selection at Verizon. However, I only have to put up with my phone for another couple weeks and I can upgrade to whatever I want.

I have many friends with all three and if it weren't for work, those with BB would own a iPhone/Android already.

Here's hoping a 2.3 Android phone launches by xmas. If I see rumors of that, I'll wait. My wife has the Samsung Fascinate and its a great phone.

I like how much a Blackberry can be customized. You can set that thing to do almost anything if you poke around in the menus long enough.



Thats my point, you have to poke around for a day and half to get it to do what you want. It should be easier to access the content. Like for instance in sounds and ringtones. Why do they not have access to every sound in the phone? like email, text and notifications.

The other problem I have is that the reception is horrible. I know that all of them have a problem with it and I have verizon.

My old phone was way better and it was not a smart phone.





well you have the old blackberry (OS) my friend have the new Torch and i think its great! i played with it and its awesome. 

i have a Nexus One and im so in love with my phone that i wouldnt change it as of yet, but im willing to try Windows Phone 7.

now dont get me started with the iPhone XD (had it and didnt love it)

I work at RIM... so thanks for the feedback guys! lol. I can't say much else besides that so don't bother asking for anymore information.

I'm not big on BB either but I can't deny the absolute dominance of their organizational tools and keyboard. BBM is cool too. The durability of their devices are also often overlooked or taken for granted. I've thrown my 9700 at walls and on the floor multiple times just to show off its durability. No difference in functionality.

My personal favourite (and current) phone  is the Nokia n900 (and I have a Bold 9700 from work). I am currently triple booting OS's on the device (Android Froyo, Maemo and Meego). It's also been made to boot Mac OS, Windows 98 and Ubuntu, albeit with incredibly bad performance. It has emulators for everything up to and including PS1 and runs games very very well. It can also natively run Palm Pre games. It's the perfect geek phone. I've also OC'd it to 900 MHz. The only thing that sucks about it is the battery life (even at stock clock speeds it's only 15 hours with any level of usage).

....

options ---> ringtones. I just did it in two clicks. And all the sounds in the phone are right in your face afterwards

That is exactly what I was going to say.  I have dropped my 9700 onto a concrete floor from about 3 feet up a couple times, and it still works flawlessly.  I bet the thing would stop a bullet.



Unicorns ARE real - They are just fat, grey and called Rhinos

Some one who's a heavy user of iTunes, Mail and all the awesome stuff on the iPhone, I can honestly say that my iPhone is the ideal phone for me.

not on storm two. You can't turn the sound off on the notifications for the email or text.



I still need to get a phone !!!
