Which Cell Phone
i'm about to get a new cellphone. i have narrowed it down to three. first the iphone 3gs second the blackberry storm and finally the samsung optima. they all look like nice phones and i think i would be pleased with either one but i can't make up my mind. my main questions are: is the iphone worth it. i is the blackberry storm or the optima as good as the iphone

Re: Which Cell Phone
My wife works for Verizon, so I would say the storm, I have the Gz'One Boulder, and the curve, Like them both.

Re: Which Cell Phone
I think the Blackberry Storm is a great phone. I love my phone. The clock feature is awesome. It is so easy to set up. Doesn't feel like it is going to break like the iphone. Not to mention that every fortune 500 company uses blackberry, and not i phone. There is a reason. they are far superior for business use. it is not a fun phone only. It can do everything the i phone can, and yes apps are coming out everyday for blackberry also. But it can do everything the i phone can and more. Go with the STorm. Only gripe is the touch screen. If you have larger thumbs you will be mad at text or emailing.

Re: Which Cell Phone
I have a B/B Curve and love it! I would stay away from the touch screens. I hate the idea of smudging up my screen with finger prints!
I might be a little ocd

Re: Which Cell Phone
thanks for the replies. I'm not worried about smudges. i was thinking touchscreen cause the screens bigger so that i have more room to view web pages and pictures and things of the sort.
whats the bold have more than the storm other that a tiny qwerty keypad |

Re: Which Cell Phone
Both my wife and I had a Blackberry and I didn't think the iPhone was anything special....until I got myself an iPhone. Wow, what a phone and so many free applications available. I already downloaded a carpenters level and construction calculator along with a bunch of other helpful apps. It makes my Blackberry look like nothing but a phone.

Re: Which Cell Phone
My BlackBerry Storm is a great phone. Just get that clear film screen cover, to protect from
scratches. |

Re: Which Cell Phone
Got an Iphone after having a Curve. I really liked the Curve a lot. The new Iphone really is something else. Way faster for opening cut sheets on websites. Intuitive beyond belief. Now that it does video it is hard to beat. Synch through Itunes way faster than Blackberry desktop manager. Downfalls are no flash camera and battery won't last a full day. Charger in the truck and all is well again. It can be used as a toy but it is extremely effective for business use and the apps cant be touched by RIM (yet). It was a toss up between this and the Bold. No regrets at all

Re: Which Cell Phone
Definitely Iphone. I just changed my first generation to the new 3GS. Jailbreak and unlocked it yesterday, for unlimited and free apps.
