I also wonder about it. I personally dont like touchscreens , i may be old fashioned but i like to feel the buttons

Thats why i will 99.99% go with Blackberry Bold as it looks like Bold is currently the best model they have. Blackberry experts please correct me if i am wrong.

I tend not to like touch screens for more precision stuff including QWERTY, or dialing. I agree with you there.

I do like some of the other helpful touch screen options. The pinch zoom and momentum scroll (I forget the official naming) on the iPhone seem very interesting.

Maybe I'll hold out for this:

LOL!

I have to say that is pretty cool...a little weird shaking hands with someone and seeing a tag cloud...but pretty cool haha

I updated my G1 to the 1.5 (cupcake) Dev version and I love it.

The QWERTY keyboard is easier to use then I thought it was going to be like.

**Streetz** · 05-06-2009 01:24 PM

I'm on my 4th blackberry, loved each one. Great for business use, but wouldn't want one for a personal phone (just my opinion). My boss tested the G1 and wasn't a fan. He wasn't a big fan of it, but again maybe it's because it was for business use and a Blackberry Enterprise Server makes things 100 times easier.

I would love to have an iPhone, but I recently scrapped my personal phone because I tend to use my Blackberry most anyways. Would rather save the money, just makes sense. Plus AT&T rates are crazy. I read that Apple and Verizon are working together to possibly release a Verizon iPhone (pretty sure it's Verizon).

**Joe Ward** · 05-06-2009 01:29 PM

I've heard that Verizon will be released one as well, and I do think the AT&T rates I've heard are a pricey, compared to other plans out there.

The G1 I looked at in Puerto Rico was about $75 per month, unlimited. Of course, they do not yet have the 3G network in place here.

I get my Blackberry Bold today. It looks like a great phone but learnng curve may take some time.

**Philipp Herbers** · 05-07-2009 06:04 PM

Owning Blackberry Storm. The keyboard is good (I mean the width of each key).

It's working smoothly.

But (handicap in mind) I still have issues when typing a message

Why doesn't Verizon wireless ever carry any of the good phones?
