I should have warned you that my wit is so razor sharp that you might just cut yourself on it. Twelve people have been decapitated by it in the last year alone.

Now that you mention it, I do seem to have a slight cut. Do you have any bandaids, perhaps?

Will take an iphone over the blackberry anyday. Blackberry's mail support to put it bluntly is totally shit - you can't set up a direct mail account ont them instead have to to the blackberry service through your teleco.

Disclaimer - I've had an iphone since August last year and have supported different model blackberrys for clients.

I've heard many complaints about Blackberry over the years, from poor displays to ridiculously underpowered CPU's, to the awkward trackball interface, and especially their godawful built in browser. I have never, ever heard anyone say that BlackBerry mail support is shit... that's RIM's bread and butter.

Owning a Curve (model 8320 thru T-Mobile US), I can say I don't have any special blackberry service, just the standard t-mobile data package, and I am getting mail from my exchange server at work and from my 2 personal internet mail accounts without any trouble.

but in order to get the mail from the server at work or on from an ISP mail account you need to have either blackberry enterprise server (which the sysadmin loads and configures) or run the blackberry desktop redirector software.

My iPhone talks direct to the Exchange server through Microsoft ActiveSync, my google-mail account and ISP mail account via IMAP (though I could use POP3 if wanted) - all without the need for any additional software.

I guess RIM could of changed things in the past 6 months but the last Blackberry I setup was in the touch screen model back in Feb. There was no direct support for POP3 or IMAP and hte person wasn't using Exchange Server. So we had to put in a forward from his ISP account to his Blackberry mail account to get his regular e-mail on it.

Now, I'll admit, I didn't set up the exchange mail, I had to hand my phone in to the office IT guy. But for me to set up the internet mail I just opened the program "Setup Internet E-Mail" on the handset, entered in my e-mail address, the POP3 or IMAP server name, and within 10 minutes, I was getting the e-mail pushed to me.

Which I have. Plus I have three other email accounts tied into it.

That along with text messages can get a little annoying!

The iPhone is the only piece of Apple technology I own (or have ever owned) and I love it as a phone and as a game system (LuxDLX baby!) I say that being a resident of RIM's QH city and having gone to the university surrounded by their offices

That is wicked. iPhones are crap anyway so it's even more funny. Much prefer a Blackberry.

I take it you're a former iPhone owner? Or did you just pull this out of nowhere?

I don't think the iphone cut and paste commercials are there to make the general public go "oh wow~ cut and paste!!!"

I think they are obviously showing how easy and smooth things are on an iphone. Only people like us are even aware of the cut and paste being new, come on.

I had five workmates/friends who had iPhones and all switched to Blackberries.

I've never owned one but have a Blackberry through work, and my comments are basically through what I've heard from them. My Blackberry is amazing so am not gonna ditch it anytime soon.

That was the best use of an Apple product I've seen in a long time.
