For the guy that posted THIS:

2. For heavy road travelers, the BB curve is still number one. The iphone has many apps that blow away the BB curve, but the curve has a much better key pad and allows for one handed use while driving.

Try the new Nokia 97 (blows away BOTH these phones)its full qwerty and/or touch screen allows for TWO HANDED USE WHILE DRIVING, guaranteed to keep your attention of the road.

The iPhone isn't perfect however with Apple's competition adopting many of the same features that just a year ago were unique to the iPhone, (think touch screen and app store) and despite the stranglehold on iPhone app developers I think we'd all agree that the iPhone has raised the smart phone feature with function bar and that's what differentiates the device. Imitation is supposed to be the highest form of flattery and in this case, imitation may be the catalyst for competition and competition is good for the consumer.

Simply put…

The iphone is for consumers and pro-sumers.

The BB arsenal of devices is for businesses.

No govt agency in America will allow the iphone as a business phone. These agencies will not purchase the iphone b/c of the ecryption issue or there lack of.

The BB devices have been approved by the federal government agencies and state / local agencies in America.

The iphone has not been approved.

Yes, the iphone is a great device (consumer speaking).

Once again, it will not be mainstream for the corporate world.

I've been a BB & verizon customer for years and switched this summer to a 3G. I can honestly say that the AT&T/iphone combo is considerably better in both cell and phone performance. I have better coverage with ATT and the phones are even comparable. Sorry RIM fans, not even close. Add into the fray all the apps that I have available to me for the iphone and it's almost unfair. Regardless of what RIM comes up with it's only a matter of time until they're an snapped up by one of their competitors. RIM is a dying brand.

From what I have read about the new BB Storm…..It's going to lay a hurt'n on the iphone. My guess is market share will make another shift as the iphone looses it's luster. You can't compare the iphone to the ipods sustained success. The ipod has itunes to back it up. The iphone has to compete on it's own merits. Although a great phone and certainly one to set the bar, it can be matched and surpassed by the Storm.

This is in reply to TMC who posted "the curve has a much better key pad and allows for one handed use while driving"

Why would you want to be such an idiot and use your phone while driving? If you want to kill youself go ahead, but dont put others at risk.

I phone it is great but it still has a lots of room for improvement.

1. ATT flat-out stinks. It needs to be offered by more then one carrier.

I'm a mac user but I still use my curve because it is better for road travel, and Verzion's service is much better in the US. I now have a Ipod touch for entrainment, and the BB Curve for work/ email.

The Moore's Law comment is correct…

Maybe Jason doesn't know what he is talking about…
