Had I bought for myself, I woulda switched carriers and gone with an iPhone. But my parents were kind enough to buy me things for Christmas and thus I got the BB.

Oh well. We'll see how the new one works.

RIM really has the "important" stuff down: email, calendar, and contacts.......


.....it'd also like to add that i was a palm (3com pilot from the beginning, then treo) user and i hated giving up my "endless supply of apps" when going to a business-supplied blackberry. rim's push email/cal/contacts kicked palms ass, though.

iphone looks like it'll (eventually) be the best of both worlds.

Yea me too. Started on a Palm personal/handspring/Treo.  Im on Verizon and I don't want to give up any of my calender, contacts, notes Etc. Plus I like the Bluetooth sync with the laptop. I use the desktop software quite a bit.

Is there a desktop suite for these phones like Palm has?

on mac it syncs to ical/contacts/etc.

i seem to remember reading that it also does this for windows (outlook) out of the box using itunes as a conduit.

Boy after reading these last two pages, I just gonna stick with the Treo for a while. I don't have any of these hassles. & the desktop software works like it should with the phone.
It might be a little less bling, but it does everything I want it to. I like having the camera too. It works in a pinch.
