Let me clarify....for what I used my bb for when I went from a 9650 to a 9930 it fell like it was a powerful 9650 with a touchscreen and a nicer kb. Going to an iPhone 4s felt like a huge jump ahead for me for the way I use my phone. I don't get why bb users get so defensive about their phones haha....and a larger screen,
and a higher resolution screen,
and a track pad,
and a better keyboard,
and way more internal memory,
and a newer OS with a much better browser,
and wifi hotspot,
and NFC.
But yeah, pretty much a 9650 refresh

IMO the 4S is definitely a worthy upgrade over the 4, just like the 9900 is a worthy upgrade over the 9650. For the average user, the difference in 4/4S might not be noticeable, but for the power users and technical standpoint, there is a big difference.
That said I'd still rather wait for the iPhone 5.

Think about it, the 9630 was a fair bump over the 8830, but the 9650 was nothing over the 9630. Then the 9930 was a pretty impressive bump over the 9650. By my math, that puts the 9930 about 3 generations past the 965012-06-11 08:29 AM
- how would you set this up if u had your own email address? such as [email protected]... i was always curious how iphones/androids handled it..If your email isn't coming in you did not set it up right. My gmail set up through exchange is the best overall email experience I have ever had on a phone. Blows away every BB i had! And battery life is much much better for me than the 9930. 9930 was dead by 2 to 3 in the afternoon. My iphone is making it till I go to bed. No way it an 'itoy'. Most productive device I have ever had. Can do so much more with an iphone. Right now I have an app being made for my business. When I had a BB I was laughed at for asking for the same app. Again, reception is much better than my 9650, about the same as the 8330 I had. From what you have said other than the physical buttons I think it's more you not utilizing the iphones potential. But hey, different strokes for different folks
and what's the BEST email experience ever consist of? i HATEEEEEE how gmail is setup ... the UI is horrible and the threaded messaging is horrible .. not horrible to everyone, but for me.. i hate it.. plus my internet provider gives me 10 email address, and i have my side business emails with the @domain.com as well, so gmail would be out of the question.
i get my email instantly before my inbox, and everything is listed as the emails are received.. reply, forward, reply all, forward as, delete, mark read, file, flag for followup, save, compose, compose other, search, search by, view folder, view saved messages etc all from the main email inbox, i can unify all my messages from every messaging app into one place, or i can separate them.. i'm pretty sure iphones and androids can do the above as well.. so i dunno how it differs really between the three OS'... i think u can get the BEST email experience on any device, but it has to work the way you like..
i dunno if this changed with ios5, but the inability to MARK PRIOR READ when you have 200 messages in your message inbox that you already checked on your computer was totally CRAZY for me! to go into every single message to mark it read was HORRIBLE.. maybe it was an issue of PEBKAC (Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair, the User) but i couldnt' find a way to do it AT ALL! that to me is not the best email experience!
either way.. iphone is FAST and it makes up for the other tiny things that slow you down ..but despite the gripes i may have i still love my Blackberry 9900... but again like most people say "different strokes for different folks"
and like in other threads, the iphone definitely is a better fit for a lot of people.. with custom apps, and monitoring tools available for them for their jobs..Last edited by knowledge_6; 12-06-11 at 08:48 AM.
