current carrier: T-mobile-US
phone: blackberry pearl - good phone.
Iphone: No — they could have used ATT’s 3G network, but they went with the slower EDGE network. Also, this phone is missing voice-dialing - which is a hugh feature for a phone without a keypad.
Next phone= the Sprint 6800 (successor to the 6700) or the Moto Q.
T-Mobile
iPhone - no
I’m unimpressed with the full package. However, They’re a good company, so maybe they’ll pull their heads out of their asses and come up with something better next time.
Verizon / Blackberry
VERY tempted to get an iPhone. Not so crazy about switching to AT&T, though. Plus I’ll have to pay the early termination fee to Verizon to switch.
Sprint–Treo 650
Interested in the 2nd gen Iphone, as they’ve already announced that a chip upgrade to a speedier processor will happen for version 2.0, a thinner case may happen as well.
I’ve heard that the calendar functionality is not good in comparison to the palm based software I have now. That and the price are things that are possibly negatives that would make me look elsewhere for the same functionality I have on the Treo in a slimmer package.
My Mac buddies tell me apple is focusing 90% of their resources on the IPhone . Us poor simple folks cant understand the huge leap in technology it represents .
I am happy with my T-mobile soap-bar cell , pay as you go $8 a month.
As a side note Amazon is taking Pre-orders for apples next OS 10.5 revision release. LINK
No I won’t buy one. I got a motoQ for $149 and I can play my music over head phones or through the built in stereo speakers, games, watch movies and tv, take pictures and video, check email, surf the net etc. It’s tiny too.
You don’t have Apple in the list of stuff that rocks in your sig.
Fixed it for you.
…and actually, I think it should be “rawks”.

Hilarious!!
New functionality for I phone announced on television:
Cingular/AT&T
No
Have been a BlackBerry user for years now and as much as the iPhone looks “cool” I’d be missing some of the bread and butter functionality of the BB (email, calendar and integration into corporate groupware).
Another reason… There are times when a uber-multi-function device is not so useful (e.g, MP3 running on a treadmill, packing a vanilla phone when cycling, etc).
