When you go to Starbucks,airport,campus, whenever you don't have your computer, you can use wifi and it is so convenient and fast. I like it so much.

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 21:06:17 +0000 http://www.blackberrycool.com/?p=8594#comment-323987 A few months back I finaly decided I'd push my Blackberry world edition over to the side and give the iPhone a try. The whole 3G hype is crap and so is the iPhones email capabilities to say the least. My biggest concern was email functionality and call quality as I use it on a daily basis for buisness purposes. I was assured by 3 different sales reps that the iPhone would perform in the exact same manner as my blackberry when it comes to sending and receiving emails....guess what? NOT TRUE and call quality, mediocre at best. I owned the iPhone for less than 36 hrs before returning it for a refund and switching back over to my trusted and reliable network, Telus. The one and only upside to the iPhone was the integrated wifi and touch screen, besides that I feel the iPhone is absolutly a waste of time and money and just like DaveS I feel that Apple really dropped the ball on this. I'm anxiously awaiting the release of the Blackberry 9530 which I'm sure will far surpass all my expectations. It's just too bad that Blackberry doesn't integrate wifi capabilities like the iPhone. Oh and on top of the iPhone just being a horrible device so is the customer service at Fido. I tried contacting them several times for support on setting up my email account and it took a minimum a 20 min each time to finaly get through to a technician which ultimatly knew nothing about the iPhone. Then to make matters worse, once I cancelled my contract (which was active for all of 2 days) I get hit with an invoice of $1200 when I was supposed to have a 15 day trial period (regardless of data or time used on the phone). I prodly and will always be a Blackberry user from now on. A few months back I finaly decided I’d push my Blackberry world edition over to the side and give the iPhone a try.
