To be honest, I am not sure what I'm going to do. I was extremely excited for the 8800 and still am, but geez...Apple really just raised the bar.

Put it this way... if it does everything that Apple says it will and does it WELL...it's going to be hard for me to stick with Blackberry.

Let's not forget folks.... Apple has a pretty good history with their products.
I have to agree. I will say however that once I get a best skins ever shield on taht screen we'll see how well it performs. Also, not sure how typing a full email messing/texting is going to work with that touchscreen. Jobs said it will know the difference between a touch and an accidental touch. I'd like to know how that's possible but only time will tell. All in all I am amply excited about the iphone, but at the end of the day The Blackberry 8800/8900 is probably going to take the cake for us serious users who need guaranteed access to email and other apps. But I could be proven wrong. For the first time I actually think the Blackberry has a viable competition product though...which is saying a lot. I've been die=hard Blackberry for a while....
