I am moving from a Storm 2 to iPhone 4S. I can't stand the blackberry browser or even the Opera one. The apps stink and really the best thing I do with my BB aside from gmail is use the tether app on my laptop. That's the only thing I'll miss, but I hear you can jailbreak an iPhone to use a tether app.

It does it right out of the box check out personal hotspots. Way better than the BB. I've even used it to power my ps3 when my Internet was out for a couple of days.

But Apple's limitations are really annoying if you are a power user. You're limited to a few ringtones and integration with Google services is terrible.

Actually you can make all the custom ringtones you want, you just have to sync them through iTunes.

I had the 9930 for 10 days. I wasn't enjoying it, so I returned it and went back to my 9650. Just got the iphone 4s yesterday and so far I'm loving it. I'm typing alot better on the touchscreen then I thought I would. I do miss my blinking LED notifications though.

I am leaving 9700/6.0.0.526 for an iPhone4s. Reason being, practically, the operating system. It has some of BB's promising features.

Also, just being realistic, there are Apps that wouls help my life, but won't be made for BB and/or are being pulled from BB. When developers don't want to provide tools for you device, and your device creators can't think of everything - it will fall behind.

I was a BB loyal user for the last 4 years until today. Went from a 9800 (torch) to the iP4s. I will miss the LED notification (most times anyway) but I'm impressed so far and anxious to take advantage of all the apps I was missing out on with BB.

I have to agree, the LED status light will be something I miss and also copying and pasting, I don't know how difficult that will be on an iPhone.

Switched from a bold 9700 to iPhone 4s on friday and I don't plan on going back. iPhone keyboard is a lot better when texting with one hand, no more daily battery pulls.
