Blackberry Bold Vs 3G iPhone

BenEadir

Hi all,

I've been a Palm Treo fan from day one then switched to Blackberry a couple of years ago first with a Pearl and then, when the predictive text finally cracked me up, to a curve.

I really find the 2G speeds of the Curve limiting and the whole experience a bit clunky so after a year with the Curve have convinced myself it's time to upgrade and the new Blackerry Bold or 3G iPhone are in my sights.

Can anyone help me decide? My priorities in descending order are:-

Call quality inc hands free
Email functionality including opening and amending attachments
Web browsing both in terms of the speed and page display
Battery life
Syncability with Outlook
3rd party apps

Any comments? I'm off to the US in a few weeks and would like to buy a 3G iPhone there if that's the best option. Does anyone know when the Blackberry Bold will be available for sale in the US?

Thanks for your help.

Im looking at a blackberry boldalso, i measured it up against my BB curve and the BOLD is slightly bigger. Don't kno wmuch else but initall thoughts were a bit disappointing on the size. The curve is as bif as i want to go.

Might be best to wait for the BlackBerry Storm http://www.blackberry.com/blackberrystorm/

Or look at the Nokia E71. It does everything you mentioned very well
