Blackberry Curve vs. Pearl

Neither....

Go with a Droid or an iPhone. I've owned 2 of the three and messed around a lot on the iPhone 4. Droid and iPhone are leaps and bounds ahead of RIM at this point.

Homer this video will explain everything.

Here's what I need the phone for. I need something that will work as a phone, I can manage my email from and do a little bit of the social networking. I don't need video streaming or the ability to land spaceships remotely or anything like that.

I played with one of the HTCs the other day in the store but I'm afraid it has features I'd never use and wouldn't be worth it.

Of the three - BlackBerry, HTC/Droid, iPhone - which best serves my needs? (And yes, I asked the people there and they couldn't answer me. Probably because they are 16 and don't have a frigging clue what I'm talking about most of the time.)

Seriously, I would go with either the iPhone or a Droid every day of the week before hitting a blackberry. I actually have a Blackberry (work) and a Samsung smartyphone (personal), so I feel that I am qualified to tell you this. Most if not all droid engine phones have the capability to sync with your corporate email and they don't have to connect through a separate server like the blackberry does. Once you play with the apps on either the iPhone or a Droid, you will not want to go back to anything else imnsho.

Thanks, Buzz. I liked that HTC Aria thing and will probably just go with it.

Buzz is right. Once you get used to an iPhone or Droid, you won't have a second thought about going back to a crackberry. They aren't even in the same neighborhood. This coming from a former bb owner.

That doesn't mean anything around here. This is a really technology driven crowd.
Why just last week Snaggle ordered a digital penis pump.

The wife just called and said there's a package on the front door step. Couldn't tell what it is but I know it's the XJ2000 Digipump I ordered last Tuesday. I chose the "Whisper-vacuum" model.

I can not wait.

The super quiet model.
