Now here is a line up for the book, the iPhone 3G is already out so we all know how that works, then we have the Google G1 Android phone, the BlackBerry Bold 9000 and last but not least, the BlackBerry Storm 9500 which are out pretty soon.

What smartphone would you prefer?
I am getting the iphone 16gb today, I prefer it because it has great specs and I think it looks better than the others! I think the google phone looks a little top heavy and weird.
The iPhone is still the best. Although, it would be absolutely great if they could add zoom and flash on their camera and be able to send picture messages and maybe add a faster processor then it would be perfect
Blackberry Storm all the way!!! looks stunning as well!
The iphone really kicked these phone companies into shape didn’t it, now they’re all struggling to catchup like they did with MP3 players, the Blackberry looks terribly sad as a pretty much copy of the iphone, but the Google phone shows great potential with the open source/linux base
if u can do this if u can do that…. there is no ifs u dumbos. the iphone is useless. better off getting an itouch much slimer. no cam but the cam suck anyway with no flash no cut copy paste. it just looks nice but nice doesnt matter. my dick looks nice but it doesnt get sucked enough.. store is the best the G1 is better then the iphone. iphone is for girls u dumb crackers. the storm touch screen is more advanced and the g1 os is more advanced. the Iphone is old news now and the att customer support sucks
valod has the right idea, iphone does have a good build but other than it is merely just a toy, there are phones with greater features, they are just unknown to the mainstream phone users since they are not release under att, tmo, etc. high end phones made by se, nokia, htc have far more capabilities
blackberry bold all the way mofos!! =)
i was and am a BB curve user, but stood in line for hours for my iphone 3g.. which YES, rocks, but its just a rocking toy. i ended up selling my iphone so i could go back to the more fucntional blackberry. the storm looks cool, but lacks the fucntionality that blackberry has always offered with the qwerty and such.. the BLACKBERRY BOLD finally offers the best of all worlds. it has what i loved about the iphone.. 1) blazing fast 3G speed, 2)WIFI capability!!! and with those two on a full qwerty.. you can do anything!! everything else, all the phones above have similar impressive maps, and contacts..
yay for bold!
huh?. g1 is da best. i already used ishit and blodass
both are crap.
cant say anything about storm but g1 is the best
I don’t know why i get the feeling that the average age of posters here is 15….
I’m of the firm belief that there is still no one device to satisfy the needs of the masses. I see a LOT of commuters nowadays that use both iphones and BBs (myself included). Bottom line is that BBs are still far superior in an enterprise environment and iPhones are just a hundred times more fun to use. I’m holding judgement on the G1 until i’ve used one but i honestly think they’re going to need a little more time before they’re a viable alternative tbh.
guys i have both G1 and blackberry with me. i used iphone few days and sold it. it doesnt have stereo bluetooth support so i cant play music in my car through bluetooth. sad a music phone without stereo support.. blackberry has it.. and is the best
I have the G1 phone, and I love it. Not only does it have the latest app’s, but one thing it seems like everyone did not hit on is the type of plan you can get. T-mobile has the best plan with the fav 5 you CAN’T beat that. With all the fancy phone talk from Verizon and At&t what plans do they have. I do alot of talking, and roll over will never work for me. Verizon does not have any special deals so thats a no. So to rap it all up I have a fancy phone with a great plan.
