VIVA LA BB!!!! I’m a Storm user. I don’t miss the physical keyboard at all. I’ve tried typing on a friends iPhone and it was soo no bueno..

I love Apple products too except the iPhone’s touchscreen just doesn’t cut it for me.

I love blackberry. I have tried a lot of phones, even owning a first gen iPhone and I can honestly say nothing else compares to a BB (in my opinion) and it will take a pretty awesome phone to get me to leave BB behind!

I have an iPhone and never had a blackberry but am seriously considering a blackberry once my iPhone gives in. It’s just that my bf is SO MAC pro that I got talked into the iPhone LOL.

I did a HUP a week ago for the new onyx, just getting used to the keyboard but liking it so far

I get what you mean about consolidating all your messages, I was able to do it through messaging Options -> Main Message List Settings -> Other Message Types, SMS & MMS
Hope that helps!

I have the Bold 9700 – pretty much the same phone with a different name?

I love the SMS chat feature, but what kills it is that people don’t see it as I do. My friends always tell me to chunk up my SMS because I tend to write short sentences in a span of 10 SMS texts. It’s sucky, but I’m just so used to it.

How can we assuage this? Everyone needs to have a 9700. End of story.

I feel like the world would implode if so.

I want this phone!! I have the Bold (original) and the messages are the same as your problem there. The SMS shows up separately than the list of all messages. Kind of frustrating. I thought it was a BlackBerry thing, but I guess it’s a Bold thing. =/

Gosh! I wish I had a Blackberry!

Mostly the QWERTY keyboard. I really hate the touchscreen and how it lags and freezes from time to time.

Do you listen to music or watch a lot of videos? If you’re a “media” person, definitely go for the iPhone but if you want something more for functionality, go for the Blackberry. My Blackberry has a good music player and good speakers though but the screen is a little too small for videos to my liking. I have an iPod touch though so I watch videos on there if I want to.

Most of my friends and friends’ friends are all Blackberry users. I only know a couple iPhone users (I almost typed “losers” hahahaha). I have nothing against the iPhone though except that it has no QWERTY keyboard; I think it’s a great device with a beautiful interface.

AHhHHh!! Whenever I read about your blackberry posts, it makes me want a blackberry over an iphone. I still can’t decide between the two. My contract was up for 4 months now and I haven’t been able to decide which phone or service provider I want.

Why do you chose the blackberry over the iphone again?

I love having the texts all linked like a chat because I always forget what I last text the person, but with it all linked, it’s so easy to read like a discussion. However, my friends don’t have linked text and so when I reply back a day late, they tend to forget what it was about…

Im a Crackberry lover as well.

oo this phone is SEXY. I was unsure of the trackpad at first, but reading that its better than the trackball Ill def consider for my next phone.

(also not a big fan of the leather backing.. but, I can look past that)

The new trackpad is soo much better and more responsive than the original trackball on the older Blackberries.

I actually like this keyboard better than the Javelin’s; the keys are closer together but for some reason, it’s a lot easier to use with less typos, maybe because of the ridges on each key. The old Curve 8320 had the best keyboard though because the keys are really far apart, but that had to be sacrificed for the newer Blackberries to be smaller.

Did you mean you played with the trackBALL & it felt weird..?
I played around with my friend’s 9700 the other night and I like that chat/text thing too! It’s way more organized that way, but I find it harder to type on this keyboard since there’s not much space between the keys hahaha.
