I had the first generation iPhone before I got the iPhone 4 but before that, I was really considering buying a BlackBerry Bold because of BBM and the fact that all the kids is school rocked one. After talking to majority of my friends and family about the BlackBerry, they all gave negative feedback, which usually renders as something important. So what did I do? I waited a couple of months and when it finally came out in June, I chose the iPhone 4, of course. I'm glad I made the right choice as well. All of my friends are buy iPhones now and with iMessage hitting all idevices in the Fall, we can all be connected instantly, just like BBM'ers.
