Jay Funk Dawg Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I'm thinking of going I-phone. I've been using a Hiptop for awhile and I really enjoyed having web features and all that. The downside was that it was pretty expensive... over the past 5 years I have paid about 10k on my cellphone!! I've got a free Iphone coming to me because I have been a good customer and all that, but I would have to submit to a 3 year contract, especially seeing that there might be some new players in the market I am hesitant.anyone here have any experience with the HTC touch and or Touch blackberry. Do you think that the I phone is in a league of it's own? what's a guy to do here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewRider Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 ummm... what does this have to do with NuFunk shows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybone Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I really like my Iphone. The apps are amazing. Some of them blow my mind at how useful they are (Pull My Finger- for eg.). The only thing I don't like about it is that the touch screen makes it easy to dial a number wrong and typing isn't as smooth as a blackberry. But I've gotten used to it. I think the iPhone is better for fun and creative uses, where as the blackberry might be a better business tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybone Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Rogers screwed up a bunch when I ordered the iPhone and left me phoneless for a week or two- which is unacceptable for my job.I bitched like crazy and ended up with a pretty sweet package. I would talk to a rep and tell them what your average bill is, and keep negotiating until you get something you can live with. There is room to negotiate down from $130/month, or at least have some features added on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 fwiw, i was looking into getting an iphone with rogers a month ago and with the $45 smartphone package and the VVM, it came to under $80/month after all the fees etc. only 500mb of data, but i've heard that if you ask for the 6gb deal you can still get it (for an extra $30) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 iphone is a good phone. I don't pay as much as most people because I only need basic phone features. Pretty pricey though for both data and basic phone features Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
