ok so im getting a new phone tomorrow and i've narrowed down my choices to a blackberry (curve or bold) and the iphone. I'm thinking about the blackberry because of bbm (lots of my friends have blackberrys and i dont have a large texting plan) and because I can get one for 20 bucks. Im thinking about the iphone because im due for a new ipod. Which phone do you think would be a better purchase?

I would go for the iphone for the sole purpose of not having to have both a phone and an ipod

well if you want a phone and a ipod. then iphone. but blackberrys do have bbms. so music and some messaging (iphone), or just messaging (bb)

lol you actually want a blackberry? and texting plans are fucking 5-10 bucks a month for unlimited. bbm is for retards like you who think texting is expensive. blackberrys blow. if anything, get a droidx2 or incredible2 or thunderbolt or wait for the bionic.

I would love a droid and would take one over an iphone and a blackberry they're just too much money right now for me. I know an iphone costs more and blackberrys are not great but the iphone takes care of needing an ipod and the blackberry is cheap

iphone has something coming to it this fall called iMessage... which is basically just the iPhone version of bbm... so i would personally say either iphone or a high end android device

MUSIC CAN BE PUT ON A BLACKBERRY..... lol. only get iphone if you want apps cause bberry apps are crap. texting is also easier on blackberry. personally either one would be a good choice

I have both. (work pays for the blackberry)
If you are heavy email (50-100 a day) then blackberry. If you want better internet, camera, apps etc.... then def I Phone.

blackberry is dying. RIM in general is dying. wait 2 months and buy the new iphone, whether it be the iphone 4S or the iphone 5. BBM is going extinct with iOS5 and messenger

If you didn't have a smartphone before now, you will most likely need to get your plan changed because you are going to want some data.
