My wife owns the iPhone 3G and she recently upgraded to a iPhone 4S. It was the only phone that either of us has owned over the last 10 years that lasted the full 3 years of the contract. It was clearly built to last.
The only blackberry either of us owned died 1 week after the warranty expired and Rogers wouldn't do anything for me over the phone or going into the store. Complete crap.

Booo. I can repair it myself though with $50 of parts bought online. On the other hand, I still think the BB Curve I had at my last job was the best phone I've ever had.

Couldn't resist getting in on the pointless debate!
 I have to say that unless you're in the military, iPhone is the way to go. Andorid and iOS are so much easier to navigate, and iOS4+ (notice that I didn't include android) has 95% of the security and manageability features that BB OS does. PLUS iOS natively plays nice with Exchange activesync whereas you need BES server to manage e-mail and security in ADDITION to exchange when using BB in the enterprise. I have an iPhone 4 (personal) and a BB Bold 9780 (work). I also work with the BB Torch and Bold 9900. While they will do a lot of the things that iPhone (and android) will do, BB OS is just more clumsy and not nearly as polished. If you're a consumer, android is great as an alternative to iOS, but in my opinion it does not belong in the work place for security and manageability reasons. For the consumer, I have yet to see an android phone that will match the iPhone 4 or 4s in terms of features AND battery life. For me iPhone is still number one (though my mom just got a Samsung Galaxy Gio from Virgin that is killer value at $150, android 2.3 if I recall).

But that cheap plastic toy *is* less likely to break if you drop it I think. My iPhone4 fell out of my pocket as I exited my car. Fell maybe 2 feet and entire back shattered. A phone made of glass... GENIOUS! To Apple's credit they did replace the glass for free. Guess there's a price to pay for sexy. Can't use acrylic because the people will complain about scratches lol.

A Top 10 Ultraportable Gaming Laptop = $750 http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817...id=JK4YK8-XCWU The point is $750 is a lot for a phone albeit a smartphone. Understandably, early adoption of cutting edge technology is always expensive. A lot people told me that they don't know what they would do without thier iphone. I reply that I don't know what I would do WITH an iphone (given that I am not paying more than $20/mo for my mobile plan).  Last edited by Samw; 10-30-2011 at 08:20 PM.

iPhone swam for it
Well here goes,was changing my sump out a few weeks ago and had my iPhone 3GS in the front pocket of my hoody, bad idea. Straight to the bottom it went. set skimmer down as quick as I could and retrieved the phone from about 10" of water. Panicking at this point I ran up stairs and turned the hair dryer on cool n low and layed them both on the counter for about 30 minutes or so...believe it or not phone works fine, no way I could go with anything else after that.
