Default Came back to the 9000 from iPhone 4

I was intrigued with the iPhone 4 and went to the dark side.
While I was impressed with all of the apps, the great display and the browser, I was disappointed with the email capabilities and no physical keyboard.

All the while using the iPhone, I missed the 9000. The great email, the keyboard and the "feel" (I love the size and heft) of my Bold.

But what I missed most was a reliable Phone! That's why we (at least I) use these devices. The iPhone was consistently 2 bars less in signal strength in my house (using my work 9700 for comparison).

Since switching back, I realize why I purchased the Bold in the first place...reliable, solid and a great phone!

But, on the bright side, I now have a very expensive iPod touch!

Great to see you back Frehley. I too was so impressed with the display and apps on the new Iphone 4. The apps look pretty awesome as well but the virtual keyboard leaves a lot to be desired. To fill my need for something new to play with I picked up an Itouch 32g and I'll leave the important stuff like email and calls to my Bold. It can't be beat.
