    Black berry curve vs I-phone

    THe the title is the debate that I am going through. This will be both my personal and work phone, so my priorities are. Making phone calls, checking e-mail, browsing internet, text messaging, and than also what one is better as far as keeping notes and appointments in? Let me hear it guys, what experiances have you had, has anyone owned both?

    Curve is rated higher in functionality b y pc world. The iphone looks better and has more street cred. So.. Are you a geek or a G?

    I have a blackberry curve now, it's pretty cool. But to be honest I think I'm going to switch back to my palm Treo 700wx because blackberrys don't get very good service where I live, even though it's off of the same network, they just don't get good signals. If you live in the city I doubt it would hinder your productivity at all.

    AT&T is supposed to be releasing it this month every other carrier will release it in September, but I'm thinking they are going to wait until everyone stops drooling over the iphone and the instinct.

    i phone doesn't allow for the REM licenses that I need for the work place. Neither does the instinct. I can't deal with all of that, I have to have a phone that uses either Mobile6 technology or and Enterprise license

    black berry curve over the iphone any day of the week.. I like my tmobile dash much better than the iphone if you dont care about gps. Might want to look into that.

    I HATE my dash. I've been through 3 already. One broke, but two just randomly had problems. Everyone else seems to like it though. I can't wait to get a new phone

    Thanks for all the responses guys. I think I am leaning more towards the curve, although I have not checked out the bold yet.

    Depends on which Curve you get. The Curve 8320 has WiFi and is available through T-Mobile or Wirefly. The others do not, not even the 8330 from Verizon, which I think is odd.

    I checked out the bold today, and it looks like that is the one that I want, however im into instant gratification, and wonder how long I can wait for it to come out before I break down and just buy a curve.
