iPhone and iPod rule after you jailbreak, so I think they pretty much beat the crap out of all the rest, but sales, of course, speak different, because it is not always about quality. What do you buy more often - Expensive cake or bread?

Verizon is doing something wrong, b/c baby alltel sells more BlackBerry Pearls than they do. As a matter of fact, Alltel sells more pearls then any other wireless carrier. The iPhone is overrated. As a blackberry user, opera mini does pretty much everything the iPhone does on the internet. The only plus to the iPhone is the touch screen, but I am not even a big fan of that. I will stick with my BlackBerry!

To #11... Anyone that works for AT&T is not informed or knowlegable in any way. I used to work for old school AT&T. You know what my training consisted of? "Just watch what everyone else is doing and saying and just copy them." A year later I finally went to a 3 day new hire training. Are you kidding me? Then Cingular took over. Absolutely the worst company ever. Started paying there employees less and switched to the worst health care plan in the world! Thats why I have been with Verizon for over 2 years now. They are the top wireless carrier for training there employees on EVERYTHING. They have us doing trainings on phones before they come out unlike AT&T where you just simply shoot from the hip and make S*$t up. Anyone that comes into our location looking for a Blackberry knows exactly what it can do and thats why they want/need it. Is it just me or are our Verizon customers educated far better than any other carriers? Blackberry will own the 3G IPhone with the "Thunder". I hope thats not actually the name but its only a name. Blackberry will continue to be the leader in advanced devices for the foreseeable future. If anyone disagrees and I am wrong call me out on it and I will give you my Touch, Pearl, and Z6TV if Blackberry isnt still on top in 2 years. No Joke!

I will agree on the training part from the past, but things have changed alot. All the mergers have created some problems but things are getting in line. I love dealing with phones and researching them so I've learned to get lots of info before they come out, but I agree on the phone training as well. I think my post has been a little misunderstood, I'm not touting the iPhone as the best phone for everyone period, I'm just saying with my experience many people with PDA's really don't need them. The iPhone haters flock like vultures to a dead carcass whenever anyone says the name, little ridiculous. As stated earlier, I really don't think the iPhone should even be in this category, I don't need a PDA and that's why I love my iPhone because it does everything (minus MMS) that I need it to, and the sensitivity of the touch is awesome compared to other touch phones I've used that require much larger gestures, and firm presses to get what you want.

Android baby. Once its available, all touch screens will have an OS with the sensativity and response of the iphone. Not to mention enhanced capabilities of course.

I guess I haven't heard too much about it but that would be awesome if it's the case. I wonder how much those handsets are gonna cost though...

I've never used a BB but I'm considering getting one with VZW because I will never go to ATT. Now, after playing with the iphone web brower I'm amazed... can I get the same internet on a BB, or is it the bootleg version?
