So I want a new phone...If I could have one of the above, which would you pick for me? I have no idea about the difference between the two, or what they do.
Basically I want something that I can play music on and talk to people on, play a game on once in awhile (but this is not that important), take pictures, and something that has a great calendar/note system so I can write myself things and plan things. So what do you think? Any additional info about one or the other?
--Playing games is the least of my worries though!

iPhone S, not just coz im a apple fan im saying this. But i think they are better due to they don't take up as much room as some BB's take. you an call on them, and play tons of games. :) im getting mine soon maybe we should chat if u get one XDDDD (jokes)

From what you described what you wanted, iPhone all the way!
It has like a kajillion possible apps, is a frickin iPod, and its easy to use.
I think Blackberries are for more business type people and I am not a big fan.
Get the iPhone

iPhone all the way! I strongly suggest getting one, but when my parents realized they payed about $3500 (total= iPhone + 2 years of service) for my first iPhone, they were hesitant to get me another... Moral of the story, just ralize that the bill is HELLA! but yet, they still are letting me get the new 3gs... so i guess i said something right!

I second this.
iPhones are really user friendly; they're very easy to learn how to use and they have so many different uses / possible aps for download.
Unless you're that bothered about having a 3.2mpx camera, then just go for the original iPhone 3G. The only difference is that the original has a 2mpx camera, that's only 1.2mpx difference, and the camera on them isn't amazing anyway. Also, obviously the original iPhone 3G should be cheaper than the new ones as well :)

Depends on if you are in the market for a phone that can do more
business work like stock trading or if you want a phone that is more casual and in my
opinion more simpler...

By what you are describing at what you need in a phone... I would really suggest getting the iphone..

Yeah I sorta changed my post to say that I do want a camera, definitely as I like take pictures as memories, but also I might not need a game that badly.
Does a BlackBerry even have a camera?

Is that you trying to tell me that a 3G is basically the same thing as a 3G S? 'Cause you're not being very specific. Please tell me a little more information in your post, you're not being very helpful and I'm really curious as to what I should get - whatever I get, I'm stuck with because I don't have a lot of money!

An iPhone 3g is only $99. The iPhone 3g s is more expensive and is faster by like 2x.. I would get the 3g because it's alot cheaper but functions exactly as the 3gs..

I would get a 3G S, because it is 2x faster than a 3G. I have seen both in action, its makes a big difference.

ok straight up, iphone is going to be the way to go, the black berry storm is a great phone. but it is a first generation phone for bell, there are still bugs and glitches in it that apple has worked out of there phone. i mean if you have alot of friends wiwth blackberrys, get one for BBM, but i recomend the iphone personally

I have an iPhone and love it! Although IMO I would get the 3G S simply because it's 2x faster, better camera, longer battery, and some other cool features. Besides, for what it costs per month the extra money really isn't that much more, lol

I would probably get the iPhone, but it is overrated. I have a Nokia 7610 Supernova and an iPod Touch, and between the two I can do everything an iPhone can do. And it doesn't cost $100/month. :)

It depends of your necessities. Of course, I suggest you iPhone 3G S, I think It has covered a very good equipment like: good speed, nice graphics, and even the iTunes Store and Apps Store if you wanna play something. I love iPhone!!!!

Iphone 3GS.
I've always seen blackberrys as a business mans phone not really one that looks cool when your out with mates.

Iphone 3G S because it Is way faster than BlackBerry. It has a digital compass LOL but you can get lots of games. You can record video with a 3 Megapixel camera. One bad thing about the iphone 3g s is that its way too expensive. It will cost u mininum 69.99 per month with a 2 year contract.

while the iPhone has the coolness factor I can not stand AT&T there coverage sucks and constantly drops calls. Oh and honestly the iPhone is WAY overrated as long as you don't get the storm blackberry's are awesome phones just make sure you get Verizon Wireless.
EDIT: YAY! 200th post!!!

i would get the iphone it just seems more fun i had a look at my uncles new blackberry and it did nothing but what it said on the tin, really just for people who just want to email and dont care about media and junk
in britain our cell phone technology i've noticed is more advanced and all iphones comes on the O2 network so as long as your not in a bomb shelter you have a signal
