Phone switching

it’s a little ironic that I’m writing this post on my iPhone; I think I’m in the market for a blackberry.

I’ve been using an iPhone for a little over two years, first generation, and it’s really slow. Blackberry has also done a good job of remaining “cool” even with the iPhone floating around.

Blackberry is still known as the business standard, and as I have been doing more and more work from my phone instead of my computer, I’m starting to realize the limitations of the iPhone.

I would probably just get a new iPhone (the S in 3GS is for speed after all) except that:

1. it’s a bad idea to buy an iPhone a month or two before they’re likely to announce a new one.

2. I think I’m ready to try something different.

I have tried the nexus one for about four days but had to give it up because the keyboard was too flaky and because of a few other interface changes that I just wasn’t getting used to.

so I think i’d like to try a blackberry. the one big, hanging question I have is how much am I going to miss my apps?
