Well, if you have to have a Blackberry (because that's all your bosses will give you), then that looks like quite a nice one to have. But for personal use, esp. if your main focus isn't typing emails, then the iPhone (last year's model at that) still beats this "new" phone hands down.

Can't wait to see iPhone gen 2!

It’s probably just me, but as much as I love new technology I don’t want the latest gadgets shoved down my throat and to be brainwashed into thinking I absolutely NEED them to be cool and to “keep up with the Joneses”. A simple, basic ANYTHING for me works.

I could never stand the keyboard on my Palm -- the only thing worse was the Blackberry's. My big, mushy fingers were forever messing up on those hard, rounded(?!) tic-tac keys, and when I sprained my wrist, it hurt too much to press the little @#%!ers.

So far, iPhone is much easier to type with for me, and because there's no pressure needed, I could use it even with a sprained wrist.

Businesses are driven by IT people who buy based on promised (not always delivered) features, budget, and how easily they believe they can manage/maintain things. iPhone is an end-user purposed device. IT could usually give a $#!t about end users.

ActiveSync, however, may help.

I was wondering- is there a reason businesses go with the blackberry rather than the iPhone now? I'd imagine the touch screen is so much easier to type with than the little keyboard, are any companies switching? Or is it too expensive?

QUERTY keyboards on phones are a good thing if the phone is being used for things such as email which is the BlackBerry's bread and butter and also the reason that BBs are chosen over iPhones in the business world.
