Don't let me make the decision for you, there are just as many die-hard iphone users as there are blackberry users... I must say the browser is still better on the iPhone, but with the Bold it's much improved over Blackberry OS versions 4.5 and earlier.

I don't know if they have "Buyers Remorse" with your Argentinean carrier, but if they do I'd say check out both phones for a couple days and make your decision.

Go to Media/Videos and check out the sample videos... Those blew me away, the resolution is literally as good as a Video iPod!

HA! I just looked at the Sample Pictures on the Bold... Apparently BMW gave some $$$ to RIM.

There are two pictures of a Red 135, one of a White M3 Coupe, and one of a Silver M3 Sedan.

Now I just don't know between the bold or the storm. I love my 8800 so I'm in no rush to replace but I want to see what the touch screen looks like...

I'm sure the touchscreen is going to look good... But I'd be more concerned with the functionality and ease of typing.

If you're like me and type out complete sentence and long emails throughout the day the iPhone was the most annoying PDA I've ever had. If the typing on the Storm is an improvement over the iPhone it may very well be a better device than the Bold.

EDIT: My 1,000th post!

That's exactly why I want to wait and see what it is like. I type full sentences and long emails all the time and just couldn't get used to the iPhone. I might just bail on it and get the Bold because I don't think I will ever be able to like something other than the full feeling of a push...

I certainly agree with that... For fast-paced industries a 5-15 minute sync schedule is just not acceptable. If you're not getting it real-time a competitor may be.

It's not 6 hours, it's much longer than that. I use it in the morning to watch the markets, read the Times, I send a good amount of texts and make phone calls, and use it at the gym for music. I forgot to put it on the charger last night, woke up this morning, and it was above 20%. It's not great, but it's not terrible either - the new update helps with this as well.

I was having a little bit of buyers remorse after picking up my iPhone 3G a month ago because I new the Bold would be out. However, it's very functional, and is seamlessly integrated to my Macbook Pro and music for my car.
