I am still having a hard time deciding between teh BB Storm and a WinMo device such as the Omnia on Verizon. We do not have BES at work and I know everyone on this forum will be favoring BB. But if I could get some honest pros and cons from those that have used both, I would greatly appreciate it. I always see people on blogs saying how bad WinMo is but I have not been able to find WHAT is so bad about it. Thanks.

Which One to Choose? The Blackberry 9000 Series
From this date to one year from now it appears blackberry will have at least 4devices in the 9000 series. The 9000 (bold)-the powerhouse with pretty much every feature, the 9100 (kickstart)-a flipphone blackberry, the 9300 (javelin)-a "safe mode" blackberry, and the 9500 (thunder)-an exclusive full-touchscreen design. All with different service providers and varying release dates, I am curious which device is worth waiting and spending the money for? My vote is for the Bold because I am a fool for all the little bells and whistles plus it seems the most text friendly. The kickstart doesn't have the full qwerty keyboard-a must for me, the Javelin I don't really understand but appears just to be a lesser version of the bold and having practiced typing on the iphone, I am canceling out the thunder because the touch-screen keyboard isn't compatible for my big hands. I have voiced my opinion but what are forums' users opinion on which new phone will rein supreme?
Iphone 3g Vs Blackberry Anything
I am writing this thread as a previous Blackberry Curve, and pearl owner. I noticed there are blackberry die hards all over this site and being a previous owner of one and now the owner of a Iphone 3g I wanted to confront those who love to " hate " on the Iphone. I ask you people this.... What on earth does ANY blackberry do that the iPhone doesnt do already or do 10x better?
Lets go down the list. Iphone goes up to 16gigs of available memory when you cant even expand the memory using a micro sd card on the blackberry to that big. So right there the iphone destroys the blackberry in available space to use for mp3's or photo's ect.
Moving on to size and design. First thing everyone who has a blackberry is going to say is the iphone is fragile. Yes ill be the first to say it is more fragile then a blackberry so if your looking to beat the hell out of your phone and not have a case for it then no its not the phone for you. But i see most blackberry users treat there phones as if there godly so i see no reason why it being a bit more fragile would be a problem. If anyone trys to say the iphone is not better looking then any blackberry even the bold ( who copied some of its design from the iphone ) has to be in pure denial. Blackberry has kept the same crude boxy design and change the colors and curves slightly with each phone but essentially keeping the boring ugly brick format. there latest innovation in years was moving from a track wheel to a track ball.
The internet. This is where the iphone single handedly blows the doors off any blackberry. First off the screen on the blackberry is so tiny and the graphics look like atari compared to the iphone. the webpages are modified and i dont care if its 3g or not ( which still isnt out yet for blackberry ) it will not look nor load the same speed as a iphone which is built for internet use. web pages come up fluidly and fast and identical to a pc rather then the 2 and half minute wait to get a shambled version of a webpage on a blackberry.
Next is all the affordable and extremely usable 3rd party and apple apps. you can download them right from your phone anywhere and for usually a reasonable price. unlike blackberry who requires u to hook up a cable to ur pc to download a 20 dollar alarm clock program
so what is the last hoorah for the blackberry. CORPORATE EMAIL. most people sign themselves up for it in the company to seem important barely using it but lets discuss this as if you really did need it and use it. Iphone now supports corporate email however not all companies are on to it yet so it may not be available. but once it catches on n it will, what happens to blackberries sole purpose? does the corporate email make the blackberry so great when it gets blown out on every single other option and feature? can someone please justify how they hate on the iphone and think the blackberry is so much better?

BB vs. HTC
Is it comparable or am I comparing apples to oranges?
How will the Curve and Bold stucked up against the up coming HTC Touch Diamond and Raphael for the Sprint Network?

EPIC FAIL: Peek Mobile Device
I was making my rounds on the net not long ago when this popped up on my RSS reader: BetaNews | Peek mobile device set to do e-mail only, for $99 with no contract to sign
That's right... it's a device that can do email and nothing more. To keep this guy receiving email, you'll have to pay an extra $ 20/mo. Start throwing your rotten tomatoes... *gets out of the way*... now!

Questions Re: iPhone vs Blackberry 8800 series
I searched the forums for the topic and came up with some old results, but I have some specific questions that weren't covered.
1. I have a mac at home, and a PC at work. I would primarily sync at home, so I will need my device to be compatible with a mac. How does the iPhone sync with a Mac? Can you set up a blackberry with Microsoft Exchange Server on a Mac?
2. I've also read that when a blackberry user with Exchange changes a calendar event or some contact information on his/her PC, the changes automatically appear on the BlackBerry. Are there any new changes that allow the iPhone and the Mac to sync this way?
3. Has Google made any changes to the way Gmail works on the iPhone? Are there plans to add more features that would be useful for business/productivity?
4. Will Facebook/Youtube/other services work on the 8800?
Thanks in advance for your responses

Samsung Omnia == Storm++ ?
I have been following the Storm news quite closely for a couple of months. I have played with one for about 20 minutes. I was planning to get one as soon as I can without having to pay $520 for one. However, today, my brother mentioned that I should check out the Samsung Omnia.
After reading everything I can find about it, it seems the Omnia has everything the Storm has and more.
I have posted details about that comparison in the Blackberry Versus forum. Not many people seem to read that, and I would really like some people who know about the Storm and/or the Omnia to provide some input.
So, if you have anything you can contribute, please go over to this thread and do so:
