First of all, welcome to BBF.

Second of all, a BB isn't an iPhone. It has different features and different roles. I used an iPhone for about a year before coming back to the BB. Been using BBs for about 10+ years I guess.

Here are my thoughts, not those of pundits or others. The iPhone is built around multimedia and the touch screen experience. The BB 9800 is buuilt around business uses, mainly email and PIM functions. The web is OK but it isn't of the iPhone quality.

Judging by how you say you will use it, there are better devices out there, i.e. Android, the iPhone even, and probably Windows Mobile 7 devices. I just can't see that you'd be happy with a BB. You won't use the features that the BB is strongest for, but you will be paying the charge of a BB data plan not to use them.
