    iPhone envy
    I have it...It sucks...I am taking Amy to get a 3G today (no 3GS today) and may have to add a line and get one myself. Who has an iPhone and loves it? I have a Blackberry Storm and this is the first BB that I haven't loved.

    I think the iPhone is pretty nifty but I'm kinda boycotting Apple products.

    I've gotten myself out of so many jams and found a lot of great places to go - just because of Google Maps ALONE.

    I remember a few weeks ago I was the "tech guy" at a small seminar, and the presenter brought a little wireless mouse that they intended on using with a Powerpoint presentation to click through the slides.... after realizing it had a 3ft range, I had to find an Office store that sells those presentation pointers, with the backward/forward button.

    Pulled out the iPhone, typed in "Office Depot" in google maps, it dropped a pin on the nearest one - I tapped the pin, called them and asked them to put a presentation pointer on hold for me, then proceeded to get step by step directions from google maps to that Office depot to pick it up.

    That's one instance of many many instances where I've needed to find something close by - I'm forever in love with the capabilities of the iPhone :D

    My cousin got one today and isn't happy. He says the reception is not as good as Verizon or Sprint. I guess if your OK with AT&T....give it a try. They offer a 30 day return policy. On another note.....I just got the Palm Pre. I'm on my 3rd phone in 10 days. I think these phones are being brought to the market place a little early and being fixed along the way.
    Good luck Jaime

    I read some post before that said something about the spouse being afraid that if there's a fire, the other spouse will grab the iPhone before saving the family...

    Yeah, I laughed at that and then thought... hmm... I would grab my family, get them to a safe spot then dive in for my iPhone - even if it means the roof is caving in!

    I love my iPhone... my husband feels the same way about his. There is just nothing like it. Not the blackberry, not all the other iPhone wanna bes...

    I think an iPhone is worth it if you already have and Apple computer. I have a Blackberry and while satisfied with it, I would like something that would sync with my computer more easily. For instance, when I upgraded the OS on my BB, there was no way to do it through OSX. Luckily I also run XP through Parallels.

    I've never had a blackberry, so I really can't dislike them for any reason...

    However, with the amount of iphone Apps that are available now and the ability to develop for the iphone, I have no reason to even consider a blackberry. And i'm sure you CAN develop apps for a blackberry, but I've never seen a market for blackberry apps. Maybe it exists..i dunno :confuzd:
