iv had quite a few phones. a tiny Moto (broken antenna). blue and silver Moto (screen kept going out. had several replacements) Moto razr in black (dropped in toilet) Samsung blackjack (sold for a pack of cigarettes)

currently have the trusty dusty cracked and crusty iPhone 3G. its been a good phone, but i dropped it on the porch and spider web cracked the screen. it still works it just runs really slow. im eligible for an upgrade from AT&T, but they changed their data plan. they dont have unlimited anymore. im grandfathered in, so im still getting the unlimited plan iv always had, but if i use my upgrade it will change, and i use my phone for EVERYTHING!

AT&T (my employer, no flaming please, LOL) Samsung Focus running Windows 7. Nice phone. Takes great pics and video and plays my music too so I can hook it to an AUX port on my car stereos or the stereo in my garage. Gotta have tunes while working on the Monte.

Not true at all!!! You are renewing your contract with an upgraded phone, NOT signing a completely NEW contract.

I have switched Blackberrys while keeping my unlimited data.

(And don't get me started on the Blackberry vs iPhone stuff I guess you all just like charging your phones multiple times a day) Me I like charging every 3 days.

And when you have a keyboard, you can type faster than siri can :p

I have a regular old Verizon flip phone. As long as I can text & call people, I don't need the rest of that fancy ish

That's what the computer is for

That's true - Verizon is dumping their unlimited data but I'm grandfathered in. Your contract is the same, you're just signing up for 2 more years.

Mike I'll give you that the batteries last FOREVER - all of my past BlackBerrys were great - only thing is my data was slow. I never got a BB with WiFi and since it's a BlackBerry your internet isn't from Verizon it's from BIS - now that I've got a Droid you pull off Verizon so it's much quicker.

The newer blackberry's have amazing browsers and speeds. They really have fixed that part, plus they all have wifi too.

Had to chime in with my 2 cents worth...... My Blackberry is a company phone (new out of the box) and I use it all day and sometimes night, I can tell you that I must charge it everyday and sometimes 2 times/day... I can also tell you that it is very, very frustrating to have to reboot it (battery out) sometimes 3 and 4 times after an app up-grade or when the sounds and alerts stop working... ... The iPhone is far superior to the Crackberry... My wife's iPhone4 has good battery life, way faster wifi and easier to set up, way more excellent apps available for iphone, it has a front facing camera for Facetime and now has the Skype app for video calls (very cool), it can stream video and pictures directly to the TV (no cable), Instant messaging is much faster and reliable... And last but not least, no black outs unlike Crackberry's constant interuptions of service...... If I had the choice of company phones, it would be a no brainer to go with the iPhone...... Cheers,
