Default Sigh... just traded my Blackberry for an iPhone...

My second Blackberry that is. Nothing but another Blackberry can ever replace my Bold. I had a second Blackberry lying around--an 8320 so I figure why not? Somebody was looking to trade their mint iPhone w/ box and everything for my Curve. So I did it. It's nice having both devices. The best two phones on the market in my opinion. It's only a 1st gen, but that's fine. I've had iPhones before so it's of no shock, but I've been dying to try out 3.0. The Bold will remain my primary phone. The previous owner of this iPhone said he just couldn't deal with the iPhone--he's a previous Blackberry owner and is now again an addict.

Anybody else have a berry AND an iPhone?

Can't wait to go home and put 3.0 on it =)

Anyway I had an iphone 3g and a blackberry curve 8900. They both worked great but I missed bbm too much when on my iphone. The iphone is a great device though! Especially if it fits your needs

I find the iphone to be kinda useless... You can't multitask with that thing.

Also I hate how it takes like. 5-10 mins to type a sentence on that god-awful keyboard. Lol

I had the iphone 3g, it was a great phone. Then I traded for the bold. then I got the iphone 3gs but never used it because i cant go back to the iphone after being with the bold. So i traded the 3gs for the 8900 and some extra $$$ and gave the 8900 to my GF (she love's it ). I was using the Iphone for 9 months and you tend to forget how important things are just because your iphone does not have them. I could never go back to a phone that does not multitask and it's a shame because the Iphone is a great device. But I LOVE MY BOLD

My wife had to have a iphone 3gs so she went and stood in line for three hours to get one. The funny thing is after 48 hours with the phone she was already pissed off with it. She sold it to her sister and went back to using a berry. I am glad that we made a bet that she would not have it for a week before she came crawling back to the crack. Now I have a new set of golf clubs.

I have both the Bold and iPhone and love them both.

Question: Why does everyone say the iPhone can't multitask? I do it all the time. Just wondering
