Blackberry

[poita]

maybe look at HTCs?? they look cool

about all they have goin for em, would never go back to one.

would get a blackberry before a HTC again

[gmonkey]

i purely didnt go with HTC cause could only get with telstra.. and didnt want them so never invested attention into them really

[Vectracious]

I have a HTC Tytn II - most likely never go with a HTC again either....

But I would get one over an iPhone..

I would say an 8900 Blackberry is the best bet ! Ive been researching phones for ages and this alwasy seems to come up trumps but then it comes down to what you yourself want.

do comparisons on GSM arena

its a pulse touch screen, its acctually better than a touch screen i preffer it... if ur like me and have big fingers typing msgs on teh qwerty keyboard can be difficult..

with pulsetouch ur less likely to select stuff u dont want

nokia n97 already has numerous reports of problems..

do you really need a touch screen?? xperia has a fold out full qwerty keyboard and the phone isnt a brick. trust me xperia is ur best bet for business wise gear. nokia and iphone are purely for gimicks and applications, thats the way they have been advirtised for primarily atleast.. blackberry has always been business.

maybe look at HTCs?? they look cool

no i dont need it to be touch screen

mainly need it for quick email and able to trade currency

i have small fingers so keypads are no probs

it needs to be super fast/ no lag because im trading currencies and need to be spot on in executing a trade and a big screen

i dont need it to look cool and no need for camera/music crap

i already have a N95 8gig so have all the fun stuff like games/music/camera

ill check on youtube because alot of guys do comparisons on there

cheers

well mixed emotions on you tube

mainly loyal fans of both arguing in comments

watched a iphone 3gs vs BB storm and both had good points

although seemed like the BB storm had what i needed

now to check ebay

[gmonkey]

my BB storm lags a lot man, at first it was good no lag.. but over time its lagging now, and battery lasts a day at best (maybe cause im always on OA with it)

real positive with BB storm is if u go with vodafone all your internet is free (except streaming) which is wikid, hence y im always on OA

so far there is a 3 week wait on iphone 3gs

i currently got an iPhone 3G S on the Optus network... the phone is fantastic. it does everything i need it to plus a shit lot more! The only thing that lets it down for me is the network.

Coverage is OK, but data speeds are not all that quick. I was with Telstra previously, and couldnt fault their network speed or coverage. No drop outs and no issues with the network. Downloads were fast and always worked. Optus data times out frequently for me too.

i guess the optus network works differently for everyone.
i dunno if could be the only one without any issues about the network!
always got 3G always nice and quick to get online

i have had more issues with the phone itself rather then the network.
still i love the phone
