I dropped my phone down a storm drain today because it was either that or drop my daughter. So I chose holding my kid LOL. I was going to go an buy another iPhone but decided to check out Blackberry. I have a few questions first.
1. Can I get my contacts from iCloud/address book (mac) to the 9900?
2. Music from iTunes?
3. Can I use my @me email on the 9900?
4. I use these apps mostly. Are there ones that compare: around me, delivery status (track my packages) from a ton of carriers, 10-pin shuffle, fandango, tapatalk, instagram, red laser barcode.
The 9900 is a great phone. My wife has one and she really loves it.
To answer your questions, getting your contacts from iCloud could be simple depending on what services you use. You can always download all of you contacts and import them into an email service like Gmail. Then sync the Gmail with your phone. You can do the same in Outlook.
Using the Apple me email may not be a possibilty. I don't believe there is an option for that in the email setup. You may have to go with Gmail, Hotmail, yahoo, etc.
BlackBerry devices sync with iTunes through the desktop manager.
As far as the apps are concerned, gpo to the app world online and see what they have. Usually the same applications are available and if not there is usually something comparable.
If your contacts and iTunes music are on your Mac desktop/laptop, the Blackberry Desktop software will transfer it all to your phone. I think you need the Lion OS to have the Mac sync to the iCloud if you don't already have the contacts on the Mac.
I am not sure about the @me email. It will probably work since you can get @me email into the regular Mac email program.
I just switched my wife from an iPhone 4s to a 9810 and she loves it. The iPhone was just not reliable enough to depend on for sending emails on a timely basis when used with a pop email account she has had for years.

I appreciate all the support.
1) You can connect your bberry to your mac and use DM (Desktop Manager) to transfer your contacts from Address Book.
2) To tranfer music from iTunes you can do DM as well. I would suggest downloading Double Twist, it works with Blackberries too. Worst case scenario, you'll be able to drag files onto your blackberry if you so choose to be very picky about it.
3) Yes, you can use @me.com email address. In email set up just choose "other" and type your full email address.
4) Most of the apps you mentioned are available on Blackberry. I have to say tho that the quality of the apps is not as good as the ones on the iphone. Just fyi.
