However iPhone is nice in many aspects but it does not provide faster 3G service. In fact it is tough to switch from Blackberry to iPhone.

HG, I am really getting excited about both the Thunder and the Bold, both of which should be out later this year. I hope Verizon picks them both up.

Once the Blackberry Thunder comes out that will be pretty close to the iPhone. Install a 16GB microSD card and you have as much as a 3G iPhone. James what you think of the BB Thunder release for Verizon maybe late September or October?

I also think the BB just works. The Iphone is a great web surfing mobile device, ebook reader, and audio device. I just think for now, the BB has it beat on simplicity for use at work if you are heavily dependent on email and over the air calendar or task syncing. I have been playing with mobile me as well and don't think it's a suitable replacement for exhange yet. All that being said, I'll be carrying 2 devices for the foreseeable future. I wish I could just carry the Iphone, it's cool factor is undisputable. </p> </div>

Glad to hear my experience with the iPhone coming from the BlackBerry is not unusual. Some commenters on the post seem to think I'm saying I prefer the BlackBerry over the iPhone. Not really true.
