Tried loving Iphone4 but stayin w/BB!
Had to share...After 10yrs w/carrier (paid fee to terminate) joined Verizon, goy Iphone4 for my wife & I $99 ea. Rep @ Verizon assured me BB is dead and Iphone4 is best for my business needs.
Took it home, test drove it for 4days. I REALLY REALLY tried liking this phone and for $99 I tried to convince myself to keep. I am not here trying to bash Iphone4, it's actually a pretty decent phone and I enjoyed surfing the net and reading articles.
However, I just could not fuction efficiently on this phone. Maybe i could of kept it longer but even my wife noticed the difference between when I first got my BB 7yrs ago...i couldn't stay off it! Iphone4...I just didn't want to get on it cause I got so frustrated using it. It's NOT the phones fault because few things it sure did better than my Bold 9700...it's more me i guess.
The keyboard on Iphone drove me nuts, I couldn't group text w/o buying an app, setting apptments & task just took too long (for me). I'm sure eventually I could have become efficient but i didn't want the down time learning.
went back to Verizon store told the initial rep I wanted to return Iphone4 to buy BB9930 at $230. They were actually surprised (shocked)! I had no less than 3 rep tell me they have never had a customer do this. One rep who's been working ther over 5yrs sd he NEVER had this happen. BB for Iphone many times but not the other way! I began to question my judgement...$99 Iphone vs turn in pay $35 restocking fee + $229 for BB. Thanks to my wife (I Love her) she reminded me how unhappy I was w/Iphone.
So, I walked out w/a brand new BB9930!! Man, I never felt so good about spending the extra cash ($ is tight)...I felt soooooo happy, releived...liberated!!
Anyways, thanks for allowing me to share. As you can see I do not post here or anywhere else although I visit here to read...I just felt a deep desire to share w/this great community of BB users. :D
Thanks,DMitch
