I think 3G will be easy to get... no shortages of phones, BUT... now that you have to activate in the store, it may take a while, so I'm going to get there early... I don't want to wait for chode after chode to get his phone activated.

I think it will push your email from school. Is it Exchange?

iPhone is good enough at business stuff for me...even now without Exchange support. All the other features make it so worth dealing with the business shortcomings in my book. When 2.0 is out, it will be a slam dunk winner over blackberry for me.

 

Thx guys for advise. I guess I have to play with each phone and decide on my own.

There is potential problem with iPhone - huge, glass touch screen. I tend to abuse phones and I'm afraid that iPhone won't survive it :-( Currently I have Nokia E65 and it pretty solid. It's a slider smartphone but its frame is out of aluminium instead of cheap plastic. How's BB and iPhone built?

 

the iphone is SERIOUSLY tough. it has taken much more abuse than any of my blackberries could have lived through. I went through 5 Curves in 2 months. The best blackberry as far as toughness is the 8800. It's still not as tough as the iPhone though.

 

Not only IS nokia compatible with BB service, but the E71 will have a very easy email client built in that will push all emails to your device. I am buying the E71 soon. Nokia >

 

I have had my curve for about 5 months and its the longest a phone has lasted with me since I was back in HS...

Odd.
