Thinking about upgrading and renewing my AT&T contract. Whats the big differences between the 2 phones? I'm sure the majority will say the iPhone is better..just curious as to what makes it so much more superior? Would an 8 GB iphone be good enough? Or should I go ahead and pay extra for the 16 GB if I go with an iPhone?

iPhone all the way. Have had many BB and the switched to iPhone. The interface is so easy to use and navigate especially when web surfing. The Apps store to me is what sets it apart from anything else. Whatever I want to be able to do someone somewhere has made an App for it.

i say iphone...just because of the apps, they can be much more useful than what comes on the blackberry...also as for size, it think it depends on how much music you will have on it and how many apps you plan to get, i have about 1500 songs on my 8 gig ipod touch and it is full, so if you have a lot of music, i would go for the 16 gig..better safe than sorry

I use a Blackberry due mostly to poor AT&T coverage in my area. I will say my son has an iPod Touch and I wish my phone was more like that with the apps and all

Iphone... I would wait until after Apples conference this week though, might announce new iphone or iphone on another carrier(verizon prolly but rumored Sprint also).
I have 16gb ipod touch 2g and use my father in laws 3gs slot, app wise go iphone and for music.

I still love my Palm Pre and will get better in a few weeks when we get a full flash player from adobe....

I have a Storm and I like it, but I haven't been around the iPhone much so I can't really say much there

If you are looking at an iPhone keep an eye on the price of it this week, rumor has it that Apple will be announcing the end of AT&T exclusivity on wednesday and this could jack the price up immediately, or when the exclusivity ends.

verizon is supposed to get the iphone before the end of 2010, so maybe wait for them to get it then switch service providers since verizon clearly is better
