funny topic to me . i currently have a BB 8703e , before that 8700c , before that 7290 , and so on and so on ...... point being is that throughout history many phones , pda's , and otherwise have came out , caused new buzz , and fell short of the BB reliability and functionality that BB is famous for . so i'm not even considering the iPhone . sure its great for my nephew with all its bells and wistle's but just like the treo 650/700wx i tried shortly ..... annoyed me after the " new " phone excitement wore off . just my .02 cents .
