Hey, tolabalo~

G1
iPhone

I've never held the two side-by-side for a real test though.

probably Bold (never used it)
probably Curve (never really used it)








Storm (sorry I used it, and not because it's popular to say that.)

My Preference:

1) BlackBerry Curve.  It's been around long enough to finally (depending upon how you get your OS upgrades) have a good, stable OS on it. The keyboard's hard to beat, and BB push e-mail is about as reliable as it gets. The 8320 on T-Mobile adds UMA calling.  A great feature that provides calling via wi-fi, where you might otherwise have no cell signal at all.

2) BlackBerry Bold.   IMO, a virtual tie for #1, except for it still be relatively new.

3) Apple iPhone.  If it had a user replaceable battery, a landscape keyboard, and out-of-the-box ringtones that a person who doesn't spend all their time in a library could hear, I'd rate it as perhaps the best device ever.  But, the battery and keyboard are deal-breakers for me. The browser is second to none though.

4) BlackBerry Storm.  I suspect this device could eventually become #1 or #2, but right now, it's just too quirky.

5) T-Mobile G1.  Finicky wi-fi, terrible battery life, mushy keyboard, a "chin" in the way of the keyboard, all add up to a disappointing experience.  Nice OS though.
