I have a blackberry bold 9700 and have no issues with it, i work construction and I have been outside all week in the -10 weather with the phone clipped to my safety vest exposed to the cold for 10+ hours a day No problems with anything.
My BB went down for about a day no big deal since the internet browser still worked so I could check emails that way. I bought it because I want a good quality phone all around not a toy, and the blackberry has the best talk quality out of all the phones. for me its blackberry all the way. Not to say I dont own an Ipod Touch, macbook pro and a spare droid phone I just prefer the blackberry all around.

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.

 Right here, and the reason for this is because I have been screwed over so many times with the providers its not even funny. Every provider will tell you straight up they don't support the hardware only the service. So if your phone can still receive the network signal and dial out they don't care. Last time I had a phone act up the guy on the phone told me straight up "Your phone can still send and receive calls sir so we don't care if the touch-pad doesn't work that's not our problem". They suck you in with contracts and extended warranties but when the hardware dies they push you around the ring 100 times before someone finally tells you they will replace the phone for the same price as a new one. I find it easier to just pay the price of the phone outright then if it breaks you at least know your screwed right away rather than having screaming matches over the phone with a provider asking for repairs.
