| |  iPhone 4S back to BlackBerry Bold 9930!
I outlined my initial thoughts about the iPhone 4S compared to my experience with BlackBerrys in a post a few months ago, BB to iPhone 4s - Thoughts Inside
Well, after becoming addicted to a few games on the iPhone related to playing "With Friends", I have decided that those are not a good enough reason to keep me from using the phone I prefer, the BlackBerry Bold 9930.
The iPhone is a very very nice device. I still have issues with the WiFi not being overly smart and a few email issues have been unresolved, but overall it is a very nice device. That being said, I missed the keyboard and customizationability (word?) of my Bold.
I have a newfound respect for the iPhone after my 3 1/2 months of using it, and I may go back to it again for a limited time, but I will always be drawn back to my BlackBerry keyboard!

I lasted about the same amount of time with the iPhone. I just always forget how much better it is typing on the BB keyboard than a touchscreen.

From my understanding, you've haven't truly experienced an iPhone until you've jailbroken it. Its really a shame you have to do that to customize the phone to your liking.
That would be the first thing that I did if I ever got an iPhone.

Welcome back. Now may I suggest a PlayBook to go with your 9930.

Sounds like you're happy!
I used to be a BB user and got my first iPhone (4s) on launch day. I've had some issues with it and have been missing BB. Trying to figure out what to do now!

I comtemplated it since the first day I got my iPhone. For 3 months I debated it in my head and finally I said, "this is crazy, let me use the BB for a couple days and know for sure." Well, on day 2 of being back with my Bold, I have no doubts about it. It's BB for me!
I had the luxary of getting a $100 9930 upgrade from an insurance claim on my 9650 and was a week away from an upgrade which I used on the iPhone 4S. I was able to hang onto both phones for a total of $300 ($100 insurance claim and $200 for the 4S). So, the point is that I was able to have a chance to use both without having to spend a ton of money.

Also lucky you got that pricing! These BBs off contract are so expensive! I paid just $199 for my iPhone but I know that's because I signed a 2 year contract.

I am in the same boat, but with my Android, contemplating a 9900. You know you love BB when this forum is full of doom and gloom, yet I still want a 9900. Thing is my mytouch4G works great, just miss my LED, push email (don't care what anyone says, it is no where near as fast as my BB's were.) , and most importantly the physical keyboard. I mean I get by fine with TS typing, but make way more mistakes compared to my BB.
Who knows, I may just keep going with what I have and see what is coming this spring/summer.

I am thinking of going back to the 9900. I really miss the keyboard and text/email experience. The 4S is a great phone for many reasons, but my main reason to keep it is the maps. I have had the 9900 and loved the keyboard. My dilema is paying full price for the 9900. I am wondering if the newer BB's will be worth the wait?? And how long will the wait be??
