I have an iphone and love it. There is nothing it can't do. If you already have an itunes account that is the way to go. You can put all your music in there and watch movies and videos. Plus it's like having a computer in your palm.
whats your monthly plan like? is it in the $100 range?
If you are home at all in the next few weeks let me know and you can play with mine for awhile.
hot.
bring your iphone!
I think the bottom line is how much you actually need to use it for work and to what extent you need it to sync seamlessly with your desktop. The more your "work" needs the more I think you need to use a blackberry.
it'd be limited to email, only. anything else i use for work needs a giganto monitor, so a phone wouldn't help, regardless. in which case, i think iphone can sync up to email in a fashion similar to crackberries. i think.
iPhones are well known for being shitty gimmick phones.
yeah, i figure that's true. but, at the same time, i think thats part of the appeal to me.
i know (
know!) i'm going to be pissed off and hate whatever phone i get within a month or two, as that is the pattern of the past 10 years or whatever. to me, the iphone would essentially be a toy more than a phone, and i think that's where it's strengths are, as well.
If you are not fussed about touchscreen, and dont want something as "computeresque" as a Blackberry, then you cant go wrong with a Nokia N95 (the N96 is just out, but I am not sure whether its widely available outside Europe). The N95 black has 8gig built in, and a 5mp camera plus all the usual smart phone features!
the 5mp camera is awesome, i dont understand why they can't bump up the limit in the states more. i have the n75 now, which i know isn't in the same league as the n9x series, but it's really put me off nokias, because it's shit.
i'd also be a little freaked out by the price tag of a non-deal phone. one of the bigger appeals of the list above is they're each about $200 up front. i think the n95 is twice that, but haven't looked around too extensively
