The Iphone is selling their previous model before the newest 3.0 upgrade for $99 which I believe is cheaper than blackberry. I have very little experience on blackberry and I am an Iphone user but from what my friends tell me the blackberry functionality is not the easiest to use. Apple is known for its functionality and simplicity to operate even for the technologically challenged. Its apps are great and have helped me tremendously in my business.

Hi Everyone,

I also need help. About 4 years ago I bought a PPC6700 from Verizon. It did all the things I needed at that time. Now I have more contacts and other downloads in the phone and it no longer works as good as it did.

I also use the inf-rare to access I-box's to get the keys out. I love having to Carrie only one device. But it is time to upgrade. Any suggestions.

On the Big Islandin Hawaii, I find that AT&T offers better coverage island-wide. However, this is not the case when I travel to the neighbor islands. I have an iphone, the 3G version and like the ease of using it. I am not completely familiar with all of its features because initially, all I needed it for was access to email. As far as the internet, for surfing, the small screen doesn't do it for me. Even the feature of maximizing the view is a bit maddening. It may be more than I need, since I also carry my laptop with me and I have an aircard. It's an additional $40/mo for my ihpone, and then $60/mo for the aircard. Getting high tech means spending more.

I finally made the leap and bought a Blackberry Storm. I live in Mesa Arizona, near Phoenix, and had to buy what was available on the Verizon network due to reception issues where I live. I also wanted the email "push" feature of the Blackberry service which pushes my emails to me immediately. I can also "tether" it to my laptop through a Verizon add-on service which turns the Blackberry into a modem for in-the-field Internet surfing on a readable sized computer screen. There are many other productivity applications available that I am still learning about but so far so good.
