the iphone is a neat little device...just wish they'd find a way to keep the screen clean.
The new iphone 3GS has an oleophobic coating on the screen, which is an oil resistant coating that resists finger prints and smudging. My brother just got one recently and I saw it with my own eyes. He had been using it for a few days, and it was remarkably clean, unlike my iPod Touch which had finger print smudges all over it. Of course, the screen looks dirtier against a dark background, and the smudges pretty much disappear once you turn the device on.
I was impressed with the new coating that they apply, and it definitely goes a long way to keeping the screen clean compared to the previous models.

Blackberry Bold 9000 is a wonderful and sturdy majic gadget in your hands, very reliable, and sleek too, plus its great for sending text/mms messages, and has so much of functions that one can carry the world at his/her finger tip by having a BB Bold 9000 fantastic cell phone.
But if you just want to play games, and some entertainment, Iphone is not bad, but BB with full qwerty keyboard its fantastic especially for males who have much bigger & broader fingers to send type text messages, whereas for sleek long female fingers iphone does the job too! My preference any day is BlackBerry Bold 9000, but my server "ROGERS" is a big rip-off which charges extra-ordinary rates on its packages over here in Canada, hope soon some other server companies start functioning over here, as these gians would bend down on their knees as soon as competition takes them over.

I said the same thing but I got really use to it and infact i text fasterrevolver said:
then with the old Nokia phone that I use to have. It also corrects the spelling errors.
Any new phones out today is awesome it's just people's preference!
yeah, like when I had my mother in law invited over for dinner and I said "come over for sux (with a typo, meant six)"... it suggested- "come over for sex"revolver said:
u and i are damn close on the qwerty keyboards, hence the typo...
so far it seems pretty evenly divided lol. I have to admit the one with the touch screen and the keyboard is interesting me.
In the absence of a clear winner I'll go with the one that doesn't explode.

The combination touchscreen and physical keyboard blackberry is rumoured but I don't think there is any solid info other than the codename (sometimes it's called Pluto, sometimes it's called Magnum), and certainly no release date...you could be waiting a while! If you are interested you can do some Googling on the Blackberry Pluto and Blackberry Magnum. There hasn't been any sightings or leaks other than some photoshopped pictures. I suspect it had to go into redesign because RIM is sorting out the new touchscreen system (piezoelectric) on the Storm2 first before using it in Pluto/Magnum. If I had to take a guess, it might not be until Q2 2010, maybe later.LadyTY2Uall said:
The next Blackberries that will be released in Canada will be:
- Onyx 9700 (GSM/HSPA, for Rogers*) - this is the updated Bold, it has a physical keyboard and a small trackpad replacing the ball, but no touchscreen. Release date unknown, but probably October/November (the original bold was released October 2008)
*Actually, if Bell and Telus complete their HSPA network overlays quickly you might see the 9700 offered by them too (someone spotted the 9700 sku in Bell's ordering system)
- Storm2 (9520 GSM/HSPA for Rogers, 9550 CDMA for Bell/Telus) with an improved screen press mechanism called Truepress. The mechanism on the Storm1 called Surepress was terrible, I couldn't stand it. Rumoured to be released in November/December 2009 (The original Storm was released Dec 2008)
- a low-end Curve 8520, which will have a small trackpad instead of a ball. I think this one has already been released in the US. Not sure of the release date in Canada.
I have both an iphone and a blackberry, and while I like the iphone for certain things (the web browsing is unbeatable, the appstore is fun, the interface feels very modern compared to the blackberry), the bb never leaves my side, ever. But I use it for business and I have to send a lot of emails on the go, which I think brings the blackberry to another level - a blackberry linked to a BES server and Exchange account is quite different from a personal blackberry on BIS.
Anyways, you can't really go wrong with either an Iphone or a Blackberry, get one and start enjoying the ability to 'google' and surf the web wherever you are.
