That a fact? When the original iphone was released in the uk coupled with the contract it worked out yearly at around £900, so you're talking over $1800 a year.

i really wanted to play around with that, but it's not coming out until the end of August or the beginning of September. My brother and dad's phones were royally f'ed up so we were stretching it as it was with the iphone release. We're all happy so no harm done.

Decent article comparing the BB Bold to the iPhone 3G:

yeah, that's a very fair article. I think it all comes down to usage. If you're a business man the Bold would be the better choice. The e-mail and business usage is very nice. I'm still a college student and find the iPhone great for me. I get my gmail pushed to my phone with IMAP and that's probably the most complicated I'd need for a while.

It's like a computer buyer with APPLE vs PC. Graphics and audio....get a Mac. Business and gaming, get a PC. It's all about what your needs are.
