BlackBerry to iPhone 3G: Is Now The Time To Pull the Trigger?

For anyone out there who is considering moving to the iPhone 3G from a BlackBerry (as I am), I have posted a lengthy consideration of making such a jump over at my employer’s blog.  If you are considering such a move or have done it in the past, I SO would like your comments.

Check it out here.

    Don’t do it, yet.

    I have the iphone, not the 3G yet, but I can tell you that there is many nice features on the phone, but if you are running any serious business you should stay away for some time.

    You might think, that I’m crazy, but just thing this.
    You get an email with a lot of info and you need to forward some of the info to other people, but not all the info should go to every one.

    So on your blackberry you would just copy past the part that need to go to one group and sent that, right ?

    The iPhone doesn’t do copy paste

    If you go to Apples discussion forum you will see hundreds and hundreds of posts re. copy paste, and all they get is ” the iPhone doesn’t support copy paste”

    The iPhone has been out for so long, and still no copy paste, even the new iPhone 3G will not support it ????

    If you are getting any spam, on your computer, even the once going to your spam folder, al these spam mails will go to in box. and is a pain, cause you can not select multiple emails and delete them. you cant even delete all. so it’s a one by one deleting job.

    I think Apple has over all made a good product for the USA, but by not listening to endusers the will lose ground.
    Exactly why they did not sell as many in Europe. Anywhere els then the USA the cell phone marked is so advance. So Apple need’s to move, and move a lot faster.
    Europe had 3G video phones that could do video calls 6 years ago. so don’t believe when Apple is saying that this is new technology. it is a dinosaur in the cell phone market.

    I hope you find this usefull

    Well, I don’t use cut and paste now, so I really don’t think that’s an issue for me.

    Also, I don’t use a BES, so that’s a nonissue.

    Finally, spam comes through to my BB because I use BIS, so it will be the same for the iPhone as well, I presume.
