I dont see how any company can sell even a single phone with the iPhone as competition.... I have waited for contract renewal time for my iPhone, and I am so impressed... As I was signing up, there was a constant stream of other people all wanting the same thing! iPhone is actually a small laptop.. but better, because you can make calls! Every other phone company should just give up! you cant beat it! Sorry… I dont see how any company can sell even a single phone with the iPhone as competition….

Having said that, I clearly listed the problems I have with the BlackBerry, so as not to be too biased...

And for this you need to install (and in your case let go of another app you love)... A feature which comes default in the iPhone operation system. I don't get it, but then again, I never got Blackberry. And just for the record, I am indeed a HEAVY email/web/googlemaps/social network/whatever user, who loves my (3rd) iPhone... And no, I don't use my iPhone for games... So your unique selling point for Blackberry is tethering??!

I don’t get it, but then again, I never got Blackberry.

And just for the record, I am indeed a HEAVY email/web/googlemaps/social network/whatever user, who loves my (3rd) iPhone… And no, I don’t use my iPhone for games…

I would like to disagree with your statement: “iPhones are for people who like games, and BlackBerrys are for heavy email users”? That may have been true the year the very first iPhone came out, but year after year, a big percentage of Blackberry users numbers have moved to iPhone (my self included), because of its media possibilities. The only thing that is keeping Iphone to dominate market is the higher rates, but chances are that if you show the iphone to a blackberry user, they are most likely to be impressed (and this goes beyond the slick carcass now clearly inspiring new blackberry models), specially with the number of business applications being developed every day. (From banks allowing you to scan checks to deposit them on your account from your phone, to branded applications studying market fluctuations in real time with push notifications). This comes from a business co-owner that develops applications for a number of mobile devices for a living. I hope my voice helps balance the negative perception you gave to us, iPhone users. Wow..
