    Pros: Fast processor (StrongARM 624MHz w/FULL MMX)
    Blackberry Operating System (stable, fast, etc)
    QWERTY Keyboard is fantastic
    HD Screen (it looks great!)
    Expandable Memory (for music, videos, etc)
    A2DP Support (Stereo Music)

    Cons: No Touchscreen? (That's about the only feature it needs now.. it has everything else)

    Summary: I've owned an iPhone for 2 years, and the iPhone 3G for 6 months or so. I got sick of not being able to do simple operations, such as cut-paste, forwarding sms, and ironically stereo bluetooth.

    This phone has a fast processor, faster than the iPhone, with full MMX, which makes it an amazing multimedia smartphone. I can play music, through my stereo bluetooth headset, in the background, and multitask on the device, such as browse the web, text, use instant messenger, etc.

    It has expandable memory, which an iPod, iPhone, etc, doesn't have.

    I was rebooting my iPhone due to memory leaks daily, I haven't had to do that with RIM's OS yet.. It just works, period.

    Another point - you can add insurance to this device, if you buy a glass iPhone, you're on your own should something happen to it.

    E-mail on this device is true push email, with no delays, ever, it works, same with the MMS, and SMS functions.

    I can share my ring tones via bluetooth to other devices that support it.

    This device supports so much, I just can't list it all.

    The only thing it doesn't have it a touchscreen, and it doesn't really need it, because everything is indexed, all you have to do is press F, and you can search. You can search your music, a web page, etc, and it's instant. It also supports type selection, which is faster than anything you can do with a touchscreen.

    Hello,
    How do you like texting on the Blackberry as compaired to the iPhone?

    I have a little palm centro and I like texting with the keys better than the touch screen on the iPhone. Just wondering what you think as you owned both phones.

    Thanks,

    Great review except for now all your points against the iphone have been resolved in the 3GS. Good review though. I got the 3GS for myself and am thinking on getting this for my dad.
