well bb thunder is going to be the best phone ever. im using a voyager now only because of work. i hate it. but like j villa said the lg phones get hands down the best reception for verizon. but the blackberry thunder for verizon is much better then the iphone.

only b/c of my job :twisted: . I love my 10 dollar a month phone bill for pretty much unlimited everything.

If i could i would go back to att, so i would have service at my house. And also to buy european cell phones. American cell phones suck.

you can send picture messages on both phones, but only through email. it's a weird little trick

but technically, no, you can't do MMS on the iphone

Wow, just read some more on the Iphone. No mms, no video camera, no removable battery, no expandale storage, no mp3 ringtones (unless you pay for them on itunes), no games.

I'll wait for the Bold, just afraid of how much it's going to cost! :lol:

Other than the initial wow factor of the iPhone... I'll stick with my BB Curve. When the Bold comes out I'll get that. My BB is worlds better than my Treo. The Treo was great for awhile but blue donkey balls.

Megapixels are overrated, you should know this by now...

My Glyde has a 2MP rating, 1600x1200 resolution. I find that it takes good pictures as long as I can keep the phone still when I take the picture. That resolution and size is perfectly matched for a 4x6 print, which it what most people print, or post up on the net.

There is still nothing better than my digital camera though. Can't beat optical zoom, glass lens, and much larger image sensor.

my friend with a se candy bar phone with a 5mp camera puts every thing i have seen in the industry to shame for quality. Where you see the HUGE difference is when you actually put them on your computer, or get prints made. Not just keeping them on the phone and looking at the little tiny screen.

nothing wrong with the voyager, but the lg dare is awesome. reason why the voyager was so popular b/c it was the first non pda phone that was touch released from verizon. Or at least that i'm aware of. Now the glyde is hot b/c it's new, and then it will be the dare once that arrives.
