BB apps are rarely free, and the selection is very limited. I would like to see: a craigslist app, google earth, decent simple card games (i mean come on, after two weeks i still haven't found a game worth loading), and a simpler way to search for apps. i just bought the BB torch after years of using a “regular” cellphone. i gave the kid my ipod touch thinking that the torch would allow me access to many similar apps.. big mistake! on the ipod it seemed i could find useful apps daily worth downloading, most of them FREE!

I would love to have the majority of the Iphone apps and I am slowly becoming seriously disappointed in my blackberry tour! The question should be what apps wouldn’t you want for blackberry!

I have gone from generation to generation watching as each one has given just one more peace of the prize and still not able to satisfy you completely. "Drew" they are all out for the money in your pocket - not just Jobs (He is just doing a great job at it). Today I carry both a BB Storm and an iPhone, and the reason I carry both is because the we are currently working on making sure our network has everything in place to support the users. Once we have everything in place, after 10 years of carrying a BB I will say goodbye to it and never look back. I can email on my iPhone just as fast if not faster than most on any of their BBs and I can do much more with the iPhone (Production wise) that I can't on a BB. I have the ability to connect to servers that have issues, I can approve orders on the iphone because it now has VPN capability so I can get to our intranet site. The BB has email pretty down, but considering they have been doing it for years and the iPhone has stepped in, won the CONSUMER and is turning to the Professional, it is only a matter of time before the BB of any kind is going to struggle just a bit more. To each his own, and honestly I would rather use the iPhone. To all, I have carried a BB for YEARS now – back when all it did was email.

Those that don't get it, make up excuses, make up lies, and desperately try to take out their personal issues on those which do get it. Lucky iPhone users know the REAL DEAL. No need to be or show your intolerant of rivalry, be hostile toward a rival or one which enjoy’s an advantage. The answer is as close as your nearest ATT or Apple store. Just relax and drop the chip on your shoulder, there is no need to bring that poor attitude, based on un-truthes into others places of work. “It’s the old adage”, some get it, and some sadly don’t.

That in itself is another rant for another time. The simple answer to your question is, entertainment. From the Safari browser (which is pretty awesome) to all of the 1,000's and 1,000's of apps, it's endless of hours of entertainment. I've known or heard of so many people who came over from a BlackBerry to use the iPhone and they were wowed and entertained......for about 3 weeks and promptly returned it. When it came down to getting things done (shooting off emails, MMS's) they miss their push email, BB Messenger and such. On the flipside, there is that same handful of people who leave BlackBerry for the iPhone and never return. It all comes down to what your needs are. Teenagers I would imagine make up the largest demographic but this is not true. Over 74% of iPhone users are over the age of 25. It's the old adage, different strokes for different folks....
