      My wife ditched her ancient & beloved Blackberry for an IPhone 4.  It hasn't been a smooth transition for her.  Basically, her assessment boils down to this- the IPhone does more than the Blackberry, but is less reliable, making it a wash.

      I have an HTC Thunderbolt, which is pretty cool, aside from its abysmal battery life.  Plus, having an Android based phone allows me to use Swype, which may be the coolest program ever.  If you can, give it a try.  I swear it will change your life.

        Jody and I both have Blackberries for work and absolutely loathe them. They're practically "dumb phones" with too many buttons

        Went from Android to iPhone for personal use. Android was great for a little while, but infrequent software/OS updates got me to hate it as well

            OK, someone brighter than me.

            How do I:

            a) transfer my saved numbers from the phone to the sim on my HTC desire
            b) Get them on my PC
            c) Import them into my Iphone 4

            Doh….

                Lando, I think it all depends on location. Here is NC, Verizon is much better than AT&T

                  Dude, sync with Outlook would be an option, then re-sync with iPhone. You can ignore the SIM element in this context.

                  However, did you not have gmail sync with the Desire for the time you were using it?

                  You presumably have the old, larger SIM still in the Desire but now not active because you told your carrier to turn this off when you went over to the new, smaller Iphone SIM?

                  Dont do anything until clear course of action is planned - SIM only contacts are a sphincter twitchy zone. Syncing with something is the best course of investigation.

                    BTW: You can buy a cheap SIM back up device, something like this:

                        For the first time in absolutely years, as it is approaching my contract renewal time there is not one single phone on the market tempting me  😞

                        Might stick with what I have, take the most expensive upgrade I can get for free, sell it, and buy more IH  😘

                          Service question for all you US iPhone users. What carrier and or plan are you using/ wish you were using?

                          We have a total of five phones for three people in my house

                          I have Verizon/900mins/unlimited text/unlimited data (grandfathered) (heard there's currently a glitch in the system that's allowing people to sign up for unlimited data on Verizon)

                          Jody and Steven have a family plan with 1000? mins, unlimited text, unlimited data

                          And Jody and I have ATT for our work Blackberries

                          Verizon is very reliable but expensive

                          Sprint can be dodgy depending on location, though most of the time it works fine

                          ATT sucks at my house, is barely acceptable at work. I despise this stupid thing. Might have to do more with the phone than the carrier though

                          I had T-Mobile for a few years in NY, worked great, inexpensive, but it was dodgy outside of NY

                            I get great service. 4-5 bars almost everywhere. Also I get 1-2 bars in Maine at my family cabin and it's surrounded by mountains. No other phones get service.

                              Yeah, I have to add something to my comment about ATT, I have a lot of friends on ATT and their service is pretty good. I suspect my problem is with this POS Blackberry

                              I hate this antiquated piece of crap, technology from the mid 90's in a phone released in 2011

                              Also, the data signal is a lot more reliable on my iPhone 4S than it ever was on my Droid. I stream music on my phone all day long without any clipping, but I would get clipping all the time on my Droid 1, 2 and X

                                  I have a friend who works in Waterloo Ontario where they are based. After that last service outage and privacy issue he said they had a lot of layoffs and it's not looking good. Also, iPhone, nuff said.

                                    Looks like they're clinging onto hope as the ship is sinking with their new CEO. I think the Playbook is the next to last nail in the coffin, with BBX being delayed for a year the final one. Frickin ridiculous that they are resting on their laurels as the rest of the horses are taking off. They were the ones that made the smartphone smart, I'll credit them that

                                    I wouldn't even have hard feelings towards them if the government didn't force this antiquated piece of crap on me. Fortunately, I think we're going to be piloting iPhones soon and I'll probably on the beta group for that

                                      I have a work Blackberry. Much prefer my iPhone 4S, but at least the calls are free on the Blackberry.
