Wednesday after work I will be going to my local AT&T store to renew my contract and pick out a new phone. I'm asking for your help peeps!
When the Blackberry Torch first came out and was being advertised on TV I thought I knew what I would get when the time came. I currently have a Samsung Impression which is a touch screen with a slide out full keyboard.

[/caption]My main concern with the iPhone is that it is a full touch screen. I'll admit I do not use the full keyboard much on my current phone but I do like having the option to use it. Sometimes I do use it a lot.
The Blackberry Torch seems to be the best of both worlds just like my current phone. I can use the touch screen to text or I can use the full keyboard. The Torch will be a step up from my current phone though because it will be a smart phone.
I'll admit I haven't really done research on either phone as the renewal date has kind of crept up on me. Basically in my uninformed mind I see the phones as both having apps and one being a full touch screen while the other is a touch screen with a full keyboard.
I have essentially have two days to make my decision. Help me out peeps! Give me your honest opinions with some pros and cons of both, especially if you were a previous BB owner and now have an iPhone.
I should mention I am an AT&T customer. The iPhone 3GS 8GB is being advertised as $49. If you vote iPhone which one should I get, the 3GS, 4G...I don't know if there are any other options out there. Seriously, I need help.
I will of course be taking the information I learn from you peeps and going over it with someone at the AT&T store to cement my decision.
Tell me what you think and why. I value your opinions!

I would love to help you out Amy and I hear the blackberry is awesomesauce and everyone that buys it loves it. I don't always hear that with the Iphone.
I cannot change my mind and will always buy a nontouchscreen phone.
What do you hear about iPhones that people don't like?? I need deets (details) in order to make this decision Hollie! lol
iPhone. I love my iPhone 100%. We already had this discussion already but ...
Reasons why I love my phone:
1. iTunes/my whole music library on the go. (you can listen to music with your blackberry but its a little more difficult to upload your music and refresh it-- and mostly the music takes up so much memory on the bb.
2. Multitasking. I didn't think multitasking would be something I'd really take advantage of with the iPhone, because my blackberry wasn't so great at it. I absolutely love the fact that I can do different things at the same time EASILY.
3. Browser. I love the iPhone browser so much better than i liked the blackberry one. On my blackberry, if i didn't actually "close" the browser it would KILL my batter. iPhone-- not at all. as soon as you move off the screen it stops putting signal. Additionally you can have multiple pages on iPhone-- but with blackberry i'm not sure that you can(I don't really remember but I don't think you can).
4. Apps. I love the fact that there are a bajillion apps out there as compared to my blackberry. I mean yeah, there were some good apps-- just not many there were good AND free. iPhone has ligit awesome apps that are good AND free.
I know we talked about this yesterday but because I was scatter brained and on duty I thought I'd actually tell you what my thoughts were.
Aw girl you're awesome for leaving me a list of reasons why you love your iPhone. Definitely am taking them into consideration. I'll be sure to let you know what I get tomorrow.
