I've had SE K750i. I used to think that it was the best phone in the world. Decent camera, nice mp3 quality, flashlight ;) It was before I discovered that one can use internet on the cell phone.

Blackberry 8830 (no camera). I carried around an iPod Touch in the same shirt pocket with the 'berry. It had about 20 Meg of internal memory for apps and it was nigh impossible to run apps from micro sd card so having the micro sd card was rather silly. The email was much better than email on the iPhone but the calendar app was a lot worse. Settings on the BB were cryptic, often buried 5, 10 or even 15 levels deep. I sometimes miss the multi color LED that let me know if there was voicemail (flashing red) and let me know the device was properly charging (orange during charge then green when fully charged). It also turned blue when bluetooth was connected. Still, I'm a lot happier with my iPhone than with any previous phone I have owned.

my last phone was the Blackberry Storm 1 (9530). I was one of the lucky ones to have little to no problems with it, but at coming up on two years old it was just so incredibly slow that I just couldn't handle it anymore and wanted the change. I don't regret it (or leaving BB) at all

I tried that phone in store. I was wondering how could anyone not be bothered by that screen?

Samsung SCH-R410>BlackBerry 9530>32GB Verizon iPhone 4.
I'm very glad I chose this over the Droid 2 Global. Moto doesn't care for their year old phones.

I have come over from the "Dark Side" of the BB world. Had a BB8310 and then a BB Bold 9700. They were slow and I will NEVER go back. I love my iP4................

Agreed, you really do get used to it. It was the first smartphone I had/first touch screen and after a day or so it was normal to me. It felt like it would to just press a regular button, but it was on a virtual keyboard
