After looking at the “updated” iPhone that was just released it just didn’t do it for me. The 3G is nice, but the new plan and contract is not. The battery life is even lower on 3G and from testing the apps while on the road on the iPhone this weekend they just suck that battery away.

So basically I am skipping iPhone 3G, installed 2.0 on my current iPhone and that will be good enough.

However I will be buying a Blackberry Bold (coming soon). After looking at the tech specs which includes WIFI I was sold. The removable battery and externally accessible memory card just sealed the deal.

If you don’t have an iPhone at the moment I do still highly recommend it.. its an amazing piece of hardware. Just the new one doesn’t bring enough “newness” to blow good pricing and terms I have now.

Well after a few months of phone research I finally get to put it to an end tomorrow. I have decided to go with the Blackberry Curve.. it was going to be the pearl but the SureType keyboard bugs me. The size was a factor, but I found the curve is shaped perfect and is only “slightly” wider than the Pearl.

Now normally the post would end here, but thanks to Cingular/ATT it doesn’t. Turns out that because of the iPhone (destined to fail) it is going to cost me $45 a month for the data plan, which after talking to my friend has gone up $15. It is either because of the companies merging or the phone.. I don’t know for sure, but it upset me to say the least.

Soon enough I will be posting my thoughts on the Blackberry and as bonus how it works on the mac. At this time I will open the floor to comments on BB, Cingular/ATT and the iPhone.
