A few weeks ago I decided to give the iphone a shot, well as you can see that didn't last long. U had to come back to my bb 9700. And I won't never be switching again! But I have one last question. When I switched to iphone they gave me a different sim card, and like a dummy I didn't save my contacts to that sim. Will I be able to get my contact onto my new device from a backup that I did on the 9700 I had before?? Thanks in advance!

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com | I do... it's not my sole source of contact memory, but I use it as a secondary backup.

...but it only holds 1 piece of info per contact 
No home/work address, email addresses, other phone numbers, birthdays, contact pics, etc.
Haven't used mine for storage since the 90's

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com | Oh I know that very well, it's why I only use it as a secondary back up. That way if, and only if, everything else fails, at least I've got their numbers. I find it a very good source for it, actually, conveniently placed and always with me!  |

I try my best to take care of my phones but me and my buddy got the iphone about two days apart. We both had otter boxes, he dropped his phone after two days of having it and the glass on the screen broke. I've dropped my blackberries several times and they are tanks compared to the iphone in my opinion. I've switched from the bb to other phones several times, but I always come back. Yes the iphone has more apps and all that good stuff but its just not for me. Also, I had the 3gs and it didn't have a flash. It seems like to me that after all the hype about the iphone it should at least have a flash. And yes I know the iphone 4 has one.
Now as for the contacts lol, yall are harsh lol.

Not to mention you just can not customize an iPhone any where near what you become used to with a blackberry !!!
