Hi, What do you think is a better phone? I am thinking of getting either the iPhone 3gs or the new blackberry 9700. disadvantage's and advantages would be nice.
Whats features are you looking for? Whats important? Thats what you need to ask yourself and tell us. Then maybe we can help give you our honest opinion too. I like both so Im going to carry both devices.
I personally am going from an iPhone 3gs to a 9700..I think the 9700 will be promising considering if you look at the crackberry homepage there are a slew of new apps coming out for bb's
iphone is a great phone but if you need to type a lot get the 9700
Getting a 9700 and an ipod touch to keep all my apps. Basically the same thing without the phone part. Ive started typing a lot more email lately and the on screen keyboard is frustrating for lots of email at best. Thats about the only downfall I can say about the iphone platform IMO.
if we are going to wait for 3 months after another..
and if... 9700< essex <dakota/magnum .... then we would be always waiting forever, 3 months after 3 months..
didnt intend to imply Essex is better than 9700.

I type faster and more accurately on my iPhone than I ever did on my Bold. I think it comes down to preference.

Funny... I went to the iPhone from a Blackberry and an iTouch because I was tired of carrying two devices around all the time.
I type the same speed I think but the auto-correction on the iPhone is just freakin' stellar. Only real issue I have with it is that I fat-finger the backspace key more often than I'd like when I want to hit the 'M' key.
I just switched to the iPhone today. I didn't choose the bold 9700 because it isn't that great of an upgrade for me to consider. But if you have a lot of international friends, bbm will come in handy. If I had more international friends with blackberries, I would have chose the 9700. You have to weigh your wants and needs to see which phone meets those requirements. Good luck making your choice.

Thank you for all of your replies, but what about the BB storm 2?
iPhone 3gs or BB storm 2? cause i just heard today that bell will be getting the storm 2.
The iPhone beats all BB's in terms of music and games, so if that's what you do the most of your phone get the 3GS. The Bold 9700 is a great phone too, but I think you'll be happier with the iPhone. Or you could get the Bold 9700, get an iPod touch and jailbreak & download some emulators. Then you're SET!
I'm 17 and considering switching from the 3gs to the 9700. The poor battery life makes it impossible for me to use msn messenger and browse as much as I'd like to. The browser on the 9700 may not be as great but a crappy browser is better than a dead phone.
