Blackberrys/ smart phones....

[Slash27]

Its funny I had a complete disdain to smart phones , but now can't get off the son - of - buck . when you start its a complete learning process . I got Blackberry Tour and would not be happy without it . Which is why its called The Crackberry . I can read my program files send company emails and work like a man under the influance . I had a hard time with my small keyboard but now whip thru there like an old pro . It just takes time .

Yep, swore up and down there was no way in hell I'd have one. Now my iphone is is an extension of my hand.

How is the battery life on iPhones? Friend of mine's company switched from Blackberrys to iPhones and he says he can't go a full day without having to recharge the iPhone. 

He appreciates the iPhone's features but misses his Blackberry.

Some interesting articles on line contend iPhone is saturating the capacity of some phone networks because it is so popular and uses so much network.

Main drain on an iPhone is he LED. If you limit that you get pretty good length of time between charges. I probably charge mine about every 2 to 3 days.

woow/....m g1 sucks the battery down in a day. faster if i enable wifi, or any of its gps functions.

Bought my kid one of those...she loves it...I watched in wonder as she managed to hit the correct letter every time

Yeah! I have a silicone cover on mine with all black over the keyboard, no white letters...sucks in the dark because the keyboard backlight does not bleed through, but I just kind of memorize the keys.

the touch screen on my ipod touch and env touch are different, one is a big button, the other is a real touch screen (ipod). I like the ipod touch screen more, don't need to press down much at all. Good batt life with mine, normally lasts me a few days.

I never run out of juice in my tilt in 1 day, and if I want to I can upgrade my battery size but its about $100 for the next size up battery.

The tilt came with a gps that didnt need to be unlocked and free to use.

Another nice thing is I get HSPDA which is the fastest speed out there for internet connections for phone since my phone is able to access it.

I have the HTC Tilt. The 2nd reason I bought it was that it had the slideout keyboard (1st being wifi access)

I have a Nextel clutch it is not a smart phine but the important thing to me is that I can change the Sim card out.  When I go over seas I can get a local Simcard and it is alot cheaper.  As oppsed to serious roaming charges, or not being able to get a local carrier I just change the simcard out.

That's one thing LG missed with the env touch...wifi. Luckily I've got the ipod touch for that.

I have 2 smartphones but both have dedicated querty keyboards and i LOVE them

I recently retired my Sony Ericsson P1i that i have used for a couple of years in favor of the Nokia E71. I can type really fast on both of them. I dont like pure touch screen phones.

I really recomend the Nokia E71 and the newer E72. The battery time on them are really excellent. I can go 3 days with heavy use of gps, wifi, calling and whatnot before running out of battery.

My HTC Diamond is a POS.  Way too short of battery life plus windoz mobile is teh suk.  My next phone will definitely be a Droid.  They have a VOIP ap...  Imagine the implications to that...

[sluggish]

Yes... The touch screen is a nice novelty but not too practical.  This will probably be my next phone...

Really? I like windows mobile.  All the programs are free, I like having internet explorer and being able to see all websites without being cut down or not being able to view some sites. 

You could get the upgraded battery probably as you can get anything for HTC products.  Hell the tilt has their own website for products.

Anyone have the droid? I'll be buying it in February when I get my upgrade from my 3 year old POS flip phone. I'd like to know the pros and cons of it, battery life, ect.
