Iphone or Blackberry Bold?

Thread Starter 
I desperately need a new phone,
I'm retiring the horrible HTC touch and its down to the Iphone and Blackberry Bold.

I originally had planned to get the Iphone but the Bold does look sexy..

Anyone have any opinions on which would be the better choice ?

Thanks..

It is a personal choice...if you multitask then your only option is a Blackberry. If your most important functions are a phone + messaging the Blackberry is the best choice. If you want entertainment first then iPhone is hands down better.

There are way more apps for iphone. Most are worthless but I'm usually pleasantly surprised when I want my iphone to do something and i find a great app for it.

The latest app I started using was XBMC remote. XBMC is a media server that you run on your computer. This $3 app gives me full access to the server, so that i can pick music and control the server from my phone. I can see my album covers, posters and plot info for movies, etc.

If your core functions are email and phoning, I agree with the above poster, def get a blackberry.

Both are great phones. I had an iphone for a long time, and then the Bold 9000 and now the Bold 9700. I really don't think you can go wrong with either phone. Iphone is better for browsing, music and apps. If I had to pick, I'd say Blackberry has the edge when it comes to the all around better device.

Both are great phone but I like buttons.

All the stuff for the Iphone is really cool though. Just I will never use any of that stuff. I use my phone for calls, text and occasional emails. If I want entertainment on the go I take the netbook out of my briefcase.

if you need a reliable phone get the BB.

BB. For me the only advantage of an iPhone is web surfing.

for the basics its the BB hands down, no phone does those better.. For the multimedia experience, web surfing, games and assorted apps go for the iphone..

I would go with the Iphone, but its on AT&T, which blows. So go for a Bold on Verizon.

Agree. I have a Bold and I really like it, it beats my htc by a long shot. BUT there aren't as many apps as the Iphone.

How about a Motorola Droid? Great phone, great network. You don't have to buy an Apple product on one hand, and aren't stuck with a shit browser on the other. Given the horror stories I've heard about the Nexus One, I'm 100% glad I didn't jump on that bandwagon.

True, I'm disappointed with AT&T, daily.

AT&T varies a lot by location... it might be worth it if you live in one of the few places where their network is actually decent, but if you travel much you'll find that in many places it's complete shit.

I hope the people who posted "BOLD CUZ ITS ON VERIZON" know that the Bold is only available through AT&T. Both Apple iPhone and Blackberry Bold are on AT&T.

T-Mobile also has a Bold called the 9700 which is the newer version of the Bold.

Either way, I'd go with Bold or 9700 even though I get so many dropped calls.
