I would like to some personal reviews of from people who have used both the iPhone and a Blackberry or other smart phone type device. I am leaning more towards the iPhone because I don't think I will need all the business type features that Blackberry's are geared for. I am going to the AT&T store in the next few days to try out each one, but I would like some opinions from folks who have used both(or even the HP, Samsung, or Nokia smart phones).

You might be hard pressed to find someone that's used both. But I have an iPhone and I love it. But Jess is right, lack of flash does suck. But no other phone is as user-friendly as an iPhone.

After about a year and a half of owning it, my iPhone has pretty much become an extension of my arm. I can't even remember how I checked my e-mail/made phone calls/got directions/looked up menus before I bought it.
6/18: Phish in Hartford 6/25: Phish in Camden 7/2-7/4: Nateva 7/17: God Street Wine at Irving Plaza 7/23-7/25: String Cheese at Red Rocks!! 8/17-8/18: Phish at Jones Beach 9/3: Rush at PNC
This Bonnaroo lineup is in dire need of some Rush.
I appreciate the responses. KC and Jess, in a nutshell what does flash allow or not allow you to do with the phone. Are we talking about the flash player software or a camera flash???

Flash player software. I have an iPhone. Sometimes it can be frustrating not having flash. Can't see some of the time wasting videos on FB.
Awesome ladies, appreciate it. Good to see some local, southern hospitality as well. Never got into the facebook games like that. I'm gonna do a little more digging, but basically flash player is the software for games, little animated cartoons, things of that nature? I am assuming that apple safari has its own software that is compatible with other similar programs though? Sorry if these questions seem a little weird, but my interwebz knowledge is sup average, but I like it that way most of the time. That and I have never owned or really operated a Macintosh/Apple product. I am that guy, and i'm a PC.
You pretty much won't be able to see any animations while browsing the web. While that does suck, I find it doesn't happen too often so it's not that big of a deal. Apple and Adobe (the makers of Flash) have gotten into a bit of a fight over Flash's availability on the iPhone. Apple seems to think that Flash is an obsolete software and is due to be replaced. So I don't see Flash coming to the iPhone any time soon.

I had to dig to find this thread.
I'm eligible for an upgrade on my phone. For the same price, I can get an iPhone3 (no way can I afford the 4) or a Samsung Captivate. For twice as much (although still not a crazy lot), I can get an HTC Inspire.
Jailbroken iPhone 3gs is pretty cool... I've never messed around with any other smartphones, so I can't really say, but the durability of the iPhone is incredible. I don't mind the no Flash deal... Safari is decent enough a browser. The interface is smooth and very few freezes or hiccups. Now, I do hate Itunes with a burning passion, so that's a negative, and the camera could be better. Other than that, I really dig the thing.
Jailbreaking it isn't a deal maker or breaker, really... I only did it because I don't have insurance on the thing anyway, and your insurance plan is null and void whenever you modify it like that. No loss for me. I would like to be able to have some of the apps that other smartphones have, though. Like torrents, namely.

Android is the way to go. It's more customizable and 90+% of the apps are free on the android marketplace. And it's open source so there's so much more android is capable of doing as where iphone is pretty limited. Plus there's more options for phones. You can get something pretty good for ridiculously cheap, while the high end phones are way better than the iphone
I used a BB touch for awhile. It sucks!! iPhone is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better.
And don't buy into the android "open source" hype (or bother jailbreaking an iPhone imo). Most people I know switched from Android to iPhone (or are going to) since the move to Verizon, and they haven't regretted the decision.
