I've used a BlackBerry for years. My company has BB servers and all my field based sales reps have BB's.
We upgraded in August/Sept to the Bold 9930. The form factor is good and I liked it initially. However, it has been replaced 3 times. Throw in the uncertainty of RIM's system and I finally had it. I called Verizon and told them I needed them to replace this phone. While I didn't have an upgrade, my company has a lot of phones with Verizon, so I used another upgrade that was available to change phones.
I have had great success with my iPad2 and MacBook Air (that thing is sweet!), so it was natural that I would consider the iPhone. I spent a lot of time with the various Verizon phones and many of the Android phones were impressive, but the functionality of them couldn't touch the iPhone. Throw in that I'm enjoying the iCloud for my other devices and it was a natural fit.
I fought it for a long time hoping RIM would get their act together, but that ship is sinking and I'm not going to be left without a life vest.
It will be here next Wednesday, so I can't wait to put it into action.
I'm leaving the CrackBerry forums and will lurk here on a regular basis.
