Im after a new phone in the next few weeks and im pretty set on one of these two.
My brother has got an Iphone 3Gs and its awesome especially all the apps and the fact it being an Ipod aswel. But alot of my mates have blackberrys and are always going on about how good they are and all this BlackBerry Messenger sh*t and i prefer the feel of the Blackberry over the Iphone.
What do people think.?
Its the 3Gs id be getting, dont like the look of the Iphone 4 as much and that signal thing would do my t*ts in :P

Constant updates from apple also keep your iphone ahead of the blackberry crowd.
Now for sale Fatty
Il see what other comments i get..
Even with the new OS 4 it works fine. The multi tasking, and other new additions are really good and work well with the 3GS.
Sure some folk jail broke theres months ago and got the updates back then.
Cannot see past my 3GS and i got it in Jan.

Il have a look into it, Main reason i didnt is because of the signal issues and the fact they will be sold out most places and be a fortune monthly.. Thought i might be able to get an orite deal on the 3GS.

HTC for the win now used to be a nokia lover, for years, really wanted the N97 mini but though to try something different and got the HD2 (the desire i wish i waited for however) but the HD2 is a brilliant piece of kit and still much faster that the iphone 4 when we put them both together.
but, what do you really want your phone for? if there was a final choice with the above, iphone it would have to be, the 4 is easy to get hold of but like anything else wait a month or two then get that price drop etc, so 3gs is the winner for me but dont be impaitient like me! haha take your time, really look into it, especially with contract lengths these days! :roll:
Exactly that. These new technologies seemed to be creating a 'must have' necessity.

and thats why i think i went for the hd2, an extra tenner on collab software with thunderbird and i got my bit electronic diary that syncs with the PC. the medical condition i have, i forget things even more now than ever! (where did i leave my bike again?)
if you want loads of apps and whatnot, the iphone is far far superior but i think it is a worse actual phone.
Like the idea of the Iphone as ive seen some quality apps aswell
Apps wise the Blackberry is awful. Totally not an apps phone. Get the blackberry for emails/ texting and phone calls. Its great for schedules/ calendars and things like that also. Very business orientated. Music on it is not bad but It's not really what it's designed for. The BB AppWorld has a lot of useful stuff on it but the search and rating functions on it are aweful. I never got on with the touch screen BB I tried. Even in comparison to the Magic the screen is poor.
The Magic was good. The Android app store is severely under rated in my opinion. There are also a lot of things you can get on there that cost nothing and are not available on the iphone. Proper Google maps, Google Sat Nav, Google Goggles all excellent and free. Theres loads of other great Google apps too as well as most that are available on the iPhone but it still falls short. Screen quality is good and the touchscreen isnt bad its just not as good as Apple.
Other android devices come very close to the iphone. The Nexus One and Desire are fantastic. A match for the iphone in almost every sense. Almost.
I was in the same boat as you. Hang onto my BB or get and Android or iPhone4. The 3GS isnt as good as the Android devices IMO so I was swaying in that direction but I think as a complete package the iPhone 4 is head and shoulders above anything else at the moment. I am going to go for one of the 12 month Tesco contracts and the 16GB model. £200 then £35 a month for 12 months. Pretty good deal and same coverage as O2.
You wouldn't be too disappointed with an android or BB phone until you used an iPhone4. They are absolutely superb. The HD video is a bonus! Hope that helps!
Iv used every iPhone incarnation bar the 4, and they are all loverly, although the 3g was i think the bigest step from the last one, the s and 4 are just minor imporvements... the 3g took the old one and made it amazing.
anyway.... for me its the iPhone... BB's are just a pain and hard to use and dont "feel" nice or "special" in the same way the Apple does. Apple are a great company too, IME.
Just a shame i dont actually have one.... moneys tight and all that.
