I have both: BB 9930 and an iPhone 4s. My BB is the best in my opinion. The only thing I like better about the 4s is the screen size. I say, "Stick with BB!"

the best of both world is an iPad + a bb devices
but if i have to choose only 1 devices then i'll take the iPhone any day.

this BB , especially the newer devices doesn't have the stability and reliability of iOS

my media card and internal memory on my 9900 just error few days ago without apparent cause.

i know we should back up these, but still that's aint supposed to happen, i never have any memory error on my iOS devices.

Isn't it a pain switching phones on a whim. Don't you have to call your carrier to activate BIS whenever you're on your BB?

Yes, it is a pain in . I have to call my carrier and drop the 4s data plan and get the BIS plan.

What's a real pain is switching between the iPhone and the Skyrocket.
Different size SIM so it has to be done in store.

With Verizon it is easy to switch from the iphone 4 to the BlackBerry and back. It can be done online with a *228 call after to program the phone. The only thing is insurance. When I was going to my 9650 it was seamless as the tech insurance is cheaper. But when going to the iphone you had to call to switch the insurance as it is more expensive and the online system would not do it for you. Either way it never took me more than 10 min.

BB 9900 = Daily Driver
[insert Apple product here] = secondary device.

That's pretty much the combo I rolled with for a while a few years back. Blackberry was my daily driver and then I had an iPod Touch on the side for the games and stuff.

Nope. A BIS plan works on any phone. I have a sim adapter for the microsim so it fits in my 9900 and all I have to do is put in the battery and sign into my blackberry account.

If you have a bis plan, all you need to do is sim swap. Don't call the carrier. Easy peasy. Only additional step is on iPhone making sure you have the right apn setting but that took 2 minutes and no jailbreak required, simply a trip to a a website to have to profile saved.

It's 11:48 pm in a Sunday night and I could take the sim out of my iPhone right now and by the time the 9900 powered up it'd be connected to the BIS without me doing a thing.

To clarify - BIS is the only data plan that works on any phone. All it includes is an extra layer that runs through RIMs NOC for services like email and BBM. I still get my email pushed to my iPhone because the email hits my inbox before its forwarded to RIM.

The iPhone and 9900 have different size SIM also. I go to the store, get a regular size SIM, then call AT&T support when I want to switch. It is a pain !

[mooda]

use both .... at the same time

just about all the guys i work with have 2 phones rogers lets you share data so we activate a micro sim on an ipad then use it in the iPhone while the primary sim stays in the BB. Boom problem solved exept that you have to carry 2 phones but i dont see that as an issue i usually have multiple devices on me neway

[laollis]

I left Blackberry for the Samsung Galaxy Note. (stupid) All my friends have Androids and kept telling me how incredible and fast their phones are. HA! I miss Blackberry. I want to sell or trade my Note for a 9900.

*sigh*

Or buy a sim adapter for $5.

Problem solved.

BlackBerry 9900!

[sir.dangerfield]

BlackBerry for your task manager.

[Slammers08]

I'm going to switch from the 4s to the 9900 today ! Heck, I'll still have the 4s in case I want to go back to IOS. I think I'll hang on to the 4s and not sell it. I may just have the best of 2 worlds at my disposal !

You'll regret selling the 4s! Just sayin

[Slammers08]

Yes, it is a pain in . I have to call my carrier and drop the 4s data plan and get the BIS plan.

And dont they prorate the data?

[laollis]

My new white 9900 is in the mail. woohoo

[finz72]

And dont they prorate the data?

Yes, they pro rate the data. My bill should be the same because the data plans are the same price (unlimited).

For whatever reason it never works in our favor lol how's the 9900?

Loving it ! I always did like the 9900, it's just that after a while, I get app withdrawal. When that happens, I switch back to the Iphone for a while LOL. I must say, the 2 devices couldn't be more different. Don't flame me but it does feel like I took a 3-4 year step back in technology, but that's ok, I'm digging the Bold !

See that's how I felt also! I've tried the 9900 several times and each time I try it I'm excited for it but after a day or 2 I feel like I have taken numerous steps back in technology! Apps mostly but it's hard to beat iOS! Jmo I sold my 9900 and my wife's and we are both liking the 4s! Always will like bb also but don't see bb10 catching iOS. Enjoy!

I'll hang with the 9900 for a while before switching back. I have my new IPad to give me my app and IOS fix. As long as my Bold can keep streaming my music via Bluetooth in my car, I'm good to go.

[Slammers08]

I give you 2 weeks and you'll be back lol

[GeoK]

You chose wisely!

I just got the 9900. Wow, what a difference from the heavier and thicker Torch 9800.
Don't get me wrong, the Torch is a nice machine and worked well, flawless.
I hope to have the same experience with the 9900.
I can't get over how light it is. Got the swivel oem leather case.
It's like there is nothing there.

Lol, maybe a little longer than 2 weeks. But not much .........lol. I'll post when I switch.
