iPhone vs. Anything else???
Hi Guys,
I'm sure many of you have experience with iPhone (or maybe even with new edition) as well as other brands. I'm debating if it's time to switch to ATT and get new iPhone or maybe I should stick with T-Mo and get some unbranded phone. Currently I use Nokia E65, but it's kinda slow (only 200 MHz ARM CPU).
I need a phone for emails, light browsing, mp3 and vid playback, with larger screen, upgradable memory, wi-fi, world-wide GSM (quad band). It would also nice to have built in GPS and decent camera.
I'm also thinking about Nokia N95, but it's a quite a battery hogger (no more then 24 hrs of operating on one charge).
What would you suggest? (and please don't be crazy with prices
) Thx.

Both are nice. Bold would be ideal - wonder when it will be available in stores and how much it will cost. E71 is great too but it's "only" 369Mhz CPU comparing to 624 MHz in Bold. Nokia is also not compatible with Blackberry service. Both models worth waiting for though :-)

Depends on your requirements. The Iphone is a great gadget phone but not a great work phone where email is a high requirement. I know the v2.0 software will work with Exchange but its not as good as Blackberry. The Blackberry is a solid business tool compared to the Iphone as a business gadget. Does that make sense?
The Bold will put Iphone on its heels in regards to continuing to capture the business users. Iphone will grab some people but it won't hurt BBerry.
RIM knows a BB has what most business users want - A GOOD KEYBOARD!

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Will iPhone 3G allow me to have my school E-mail pushed through to my phone (without logging in, of course)? With BB Curve I've never seen an E-mail that isn't compatible.
Also, what do you guys think availability will be like for 3G? If I walk into the store a week after AT&T gets their first shipment will I be able to pick one up?
