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..

Every time I get a new phone I go with what is easier for me to work. I didn't really care for the blackberry phones but I had a touch phone like the iphone and I loved it. Its really sensitive to touch but you can change the settings on that. My sister has had a lot of problems with their Iphones, and now they have the blackberry phones.

I know my advice isn't much help, just when you go to the store mess with both and which ever one is the easiest for you to use and manuver I say go for it.

I know any phone I get I'm gana have some issues with it but its just a hard decision because my SO has had his iphone for a while and it does great and I love how he can search the web on his.. I can pull up almost all of the websites he can but I hate that I cant work cafemom as easy on my phone as he can on his haha.. The only issue I have it the touch part but he says I'll get used to it.. I can work my blackberry with my eyes closed but I have had it for 2 years maybe eve longer haha

With the Iphone in the settings there is a area where you can change the touch sensitivity. If you can do more that you want on the Iphone go for that. After a while I got use to my touch phone and fell in love with it.

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

I have the curve, and that's what I would suggest. Only because blackberry has the greatest return policy EVER! I have gone through 7 blackberries because of dropping or water damage etc. And they were replaced free of charge! I am with Verizon though so that would be the reason. Also iPhone support isn't the greatest I should know I used to do it haha, and I could not have a phone that I can't change the battery or have insurance on....there are too many cons in the iPhone dept. Imo! GL deciding!!
