_Kick_Save_ Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I have the original Iphone from 2008 and I loved it so much I still use it till today but I think I am in need of a new phone and was wondering if the Iphone 4 was worth it or if getting the 3gs would be smart. Also all of my family and friends, have blackberrys and was wondering if getting the Bold 9700 would be the better phone. help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Kick_Save_ Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 I heard the Iphone 4 was pretty brutal reception wise and Im not into paying a crap load of money, to only be able to hold the phone a certain way. also all of my family and friends just rave about the 9700 but ive never seen what is so great about blackberry.

RiCHC3 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Well, if you intend to contract in... Blackberry 9700 - Blackberries are wicked over-rated. Most people that like it either are not very tech savvy or have very basic basic needs (email / text). It's worthless for anything else. -- I'd avoid this entirely (not to mention the 9800 is coming out soon anyways). iPhone 4 is wildly over-rated. If you've had a 3GS the speeds on it are perfectly fine. The 4G is faster and has a front facing camera, but since that's not really the norm yet it's not like you can do facetime chat often anyways (not to mention you want to use it on WiFi). NETWORK speed wise, it's exactly the same as the 3GS (disappointing!!!). The cameras are slightly better quality and have an LED flash -- overall though, it's not really worth it. 3GS is still top notch right now and you can probably get a free phone if you contract in or buy one dirt cheap online, probably $280->$350 for one. Maybe even cheaper when 4 launches. Overall, I would NOT get the iPhone 4 UNLESS you intend to re-sell it to some fan boy with too much money on their hands. The antenna problem is widely over-rated, but the realism is that the phone does not only NOT support the full current network infrastructure of the cellular companies, but it also won't support the new network coming within a year (LTE) -- if anything the iPhone 5 is the one to get . It seems senseless to 3-year into a contract for a phone that's a marginal "upgrade" over the 3GS + lacks true network compatibility. 3GS: I'd never contract into a carrier for this phone, but I would buy it online outright. If you intend to contract in anyways just do the above -- buy and re-sell. Blackberry: Nothing to discuss here, don't touch this. It's for poser business men and text-only women, who have never stepped outside the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron_Gland Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Instead of hating on every phone, why not recommend one better than the BB 9700? That phone is the pinnacle of the BB line, and no phone comes close imo in that category (non touch screen). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrows_Breath Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Got the iPhone 4 unlocked 32GB last week on Ebay for only $900. I'm planning on going to Oakridge Mall to buy 2 more iPhones to resell them. Many people are already doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b3. Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Yo other people are selling the 32GB right now on ebay for $1300 +++ Reasons why? Because everywhere is sold out. The iPhone 4 is high demand. If I was going to buy it, I would wait until it's released on the Apple Store. That is just retarded, especially for a phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armada Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I have a question about Telus's Blackberry Curve 8530, it says that you can't send picture messages? Yet in a review video the guy said you could? http://www.telusmobility.com/en/BC/blackberry_8530/index.shtml Or should I just get the Blackberry Bold 9700???
