Phone home: BlackBerry vs. iPhone.


I need a new phone. And I need to decide whether or not I will give into the iPhone temptation.

Right now I have a broken down ol' BlackBerry that I love. It's become a permanant fixture in my hand and keeps me up to date with just about everything I need to know.

But it does have it's limitations.*

So, what's next? My ball-and-chain contract with AT&T doesn't expire for a few months, so I am going to be faced with the Sophie's Choice of phone purchasing.

The addition of the Kindle app to iPhone may have pushed me over the edge.
The better Twitter app, of course, may win the day.

Of course, I'd like to go ahead and get something ASAP on eBay, but those Capitalists won't accept my $5 bids for a new BlackBerry Pearl.**

If you want to sway me, now's the time.

Comments, as always, are welcome.
