I have to get a new phone tomorrow and I'm stuck between getting an iPhone or a Blackberry curve 8310?? I'm with at&t btw.. I've had a blackberry curve for the past 2 years and I loved it but now I'm kinda wanting an iPhone because my fiance has one and I really like his.. Any advice on either or both phones would be great..
I have a BB curve sunset. I love it. DH was wanting to get iPhone, but ATT said they didn't offer insurance for it. That is WAY too much money for my taste to have to pay if something happened to it. And DH works at army base jumping in and out of Humvees to move them so I told him he needed something less expensive. Now we both have the curve. He did have Samsung Behold and he's had a few other touch screen phones but he always ended up having problems with the reception and the screen.
Mine is actually a first generation, I got it about a month after they first came out. My husband has a new one, and it does have a faster connection but other than that mine is just as good for my purposes. I've kept the software updated so I still get the new features as they come. Mine has actually survived a few bad falls! About a year ago I dropped it on cement and the volume button on the side stopped working (I could still adjust the volume through settings) however after a month or so it magically started working again! Yeah I would definitely recommend the iPhone, I wouldn't ever get anything else now.
Quoting KBM99:How long have you had yours?? My SO loves his too.. He's had 2 and they've both been great its just the first one he dropped it BAD and messed it up big time

Iphone! I love, love, LOVE my iphone! I haven't had any problems with it at all.
I've had the Curve and now I'm on my second iPhone (first one was the 3G and I upgraded to the 3GS, totally worth it, much faster!!) I am in love with my iPhone. My husband now has one and loves his too. I think it's the best thing ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love my curve! I am on the 2nd one. Hubby works for verizonwireless so TG we have 50% discount on services or else I would gone with something else .
Someone may have already put this, I guess I should have checked before I replied... but
I have heard that they dont allow you to purchase phone insurance for the iphone so if you break it, or drop it in the toilet, your out of luck! If you're clumsy with your phone or if your child gets it... I would maybe stray away from the iphone, because then you'd be disappointed when you have to replace it and fork over all kinds of extra $$$!

I LOVED my curve too.. I have dropped that thing so many times but it never lets me down.. And it has had its problems before but nothing too serious and my SO's phone has had its problems before too but also nothing too serious.. But we do have a 19 month old who drops our phones, has knocked it off tables, plays with it and many other things haha.. And finally he drops MOMMYS phone in the toilet!! haha But my main thing about the iPhone is it can do just a little bit more than my BB curve.. And i love the gps thingy on his phone and hate the GPS thing on my bb curve
