me to. if I miss a call from work it would cost me over 1000.00 bucks for lost work and penilities.. thats why I have the blackberry. I am not saying the iphone or the android phones wont work just as good for me, I am just going by my track record with BBerrys. this is my third and I have never had a hardware issue with any of them.. thats 7 years of problem free phones. as for outages there has been two in the last two years that were more than 30 min, and they only affected e-mail and BBM. this last one my BBM was laging by 15 min, and e-mail was about 4 hours behind but that wasn't an issue for me as it is the phone I depend on for work. I have had a cell for 20 years now.. and the BBerries were the first ones that didn't need to be replaced for hardware issues. now I haven't tried iphone, except for playing with my kids and I thought nice toy, but the phone wasn't as good as my storm or my torch. sure it had what 10X the apps available, but look at the apps on 99% of the iphones most are useless amusment things. yes there are some cool things, I do like the slide to unlock on the iphone and now there is a app for BBerry that adds that feature. I don't use my phone for music and if I did I wouldn't use the iphone because I hate how pushy and restrictive the ituens is. when they make them so you can slide mp3's over like a hard drive transfer instead of through propriatary software then I would concider it. so realy a i-phone is for some one who wants toys over a phone, and theres nothing wrong with that. its a personal choice. I chose to use a seperate MP3 player instead of my phone, I chose to play games on my x-box or wii instead of my phone. sure I have a crib and a poker game on there for when I am stitting in a air port and I don't want to start my laptop up, but all my other apps are utilities like a scientific calculator ect...... as for the android setup.. every one I know who has got one has loved it, what I don't like about them is the amount of different configurations.. android is an operating system and nothing more.. so every phone maker has jumped on the bandwagon and made android compatable phones.. but some are better than others some do this but not that... so which one does one get? I think the ideal phone would be if google would buy out RIM while the stocks are still low and make there own phone this would give them the most secure e-mail and msg combine with one of the most adapatable operating systems.. what BBerry lacks is one thing. hardware wise they are probably the best phone on the market but there isn't enough forward thinking in the design and concept section of the company. they need a young visionary to dream up new ideas for there phone instead of playing catchup all the time.

On a side note, wanted to give my wife my old headset, so she doesn't get any distracted driving tickets. So I went to Future Shop to get me a new one today. Left with the Motorala Roadster Hands free unit.
Very cool... It clips onto your visor, it of course is a hands free unit using bluetooth, but can also transmit FM into the vehicle stereo. Works very well. It can also play my IPhone music if I wish, using bluetooth to transmit from phone to handsfree, then fm to the vehicle stereo. Works well, not 100% audiophile sound, but not bad. It can also read texts, emails, etc using Motospeak app for BB and Andriod devices, this app isn't available for Iphone, but with the 4s I have, Siri does all this and more. So I recommend this to anyone looking for a bluetooth device, so they can talk on the phone, while driving without worry of a ticket.
