Looks cool, personally I love my iphone but have had several blackberries and love them too. They are my second choice.

[Tomer]

we saw all the iphones clones. failed.
and this one will fail as well, my guess is that it will have a different platform which will make all the apps of the other blackberries incompatible with this one

[ankitsid]

idk the instinct and the Dare
are 2 badass phones

maybe that or ive just already experienced what apple has to offer
so the change in looks and design is attracting me?

[cpjr]

^^I feel ya there, even with the coolest I like to play with something new or different.

thought it was called the thunder still. it looks like itll pack a big punch when finally released. i wanna actually get rid of my 3g for the bold. my pal got his off ebay for a pretty penny and other than the browser which is decent, its a great phone

edit:
saw the official branding still liked the thunder name better =]

[ankitsid]

its not bad
im pretty sure im gonna get it
that or the bold
but im wonderling if the Storm has Wi-Fi like the Bold?

so either traffic on this forum has slowed down since ive been gone
or just no one is interested on this topic??

Looks nice, too bad its a VZW exclusive.

The Instinct and the Dare are far from badass, IMHO. I tried them both, and the touch interface is not even close to the iPhone's. They are both poor copies at best.

Too bad it's only Verizon. Looks pretty sik. I wouldn't mind using that BB as a backup.

[ankitsid]

some places are saying that it has a sim card in it
so i assume it can hold one???
idk im doin some more research but there isnt much info out at the moment

and towards "kruejl"
i can see what your saying but dont you ever get the feeling that your iphone/itouch is a bit to sensitive and that you dont have to press down

imho i think that being able to press down and actually "feel" what your doing is a bonus with the mini vibrations and all

[Kruejl]

^^^I have had many touch devices, and they all had the soft, plastic screen that gives a bit when pressed. The iPhone screen seems so much stronger and its less likely to scratch. Haptics (vibration) are nice to let you know you pressed a "key" but the iPhone scrolls so much nicer. Just personal taste I suppose.

[heath_rox]

the bold is/will be way better than the storm touch screen devices just cant live up to the iphone anymore

oh i completely agree with you on that..it would be a personal preference

ahh i started looking at the Garmin Nuvifone

and damnnnnn
so now i gotta make up my mind
which do i like better
now that ive read about the nuvifone a bit more im liking it more
Garmin | nüvifone - Press Release

but we both have our valid points lol

[sayad]

Oh man it is a very difficult position you are suffering now cause both iphone and blackberry is a quite a difficult to judge for.
But the advice is it depends on your work , if you are into a a more serious business stuff and you need a faithful PA , then storm is gonna be better and if you think that you are into some real richboy showoff , then iphone is gonna rock out.

[danvicente]

the iphones UI is nicer but blackbery has lots off apps that you can download OTA (over the air) and makes for easy install, plus it seems to have a working "push" system so to me its a toss up between looks and apps

[Muggz5]

Ive never been disappointed with the blackberry's ive had. Im glad there are more and more companies pushing touch screens. It provokes thought and ideas for devs. and designers on our side. (iphone) I think youll be happy always with a blackberry and if you do get it, let us all know how it is. Im starting to turn into a complete phone hobbyist. Who knows I might even pick up the newest edition to TMo (HTC Dream) just to check it out.

[ankitsid]

yeah true im not really considering the iphone though.

im leaning towards the garmin right now
just the idea of the phone seems so unique
u kno?

i wonder if that dream will be unlockable
ahh so many phones so little money ahahah

[ajl917]

So you have come to an iPhone site to see if you should buy a Blackberry? hmmm

[Zeal]

Lol^^

Its too round.. sorta reminds me of an egg... And looks too small.. Older blackberrys look nicer imo

Also is that what the phone is actually gonna look like or is it just a concept image?

[ankitsid]

nope.
ive been at this site for a whileee
with my ipod touch
before i knew about ipodtouchfans
and well i was apart of this site before i even got the ipod
i was doin some stuff for a friend wayy back when the iphones started out
like 1.1.1 and stuff

and i was just trying to get opinions cuz this is one of the main forums i visit

now that i look at it ive been here just as long as you heh
