I still use my blackberry and love it :)
Ripley: Ash. Any suggestions from you or Mother?
Ash: No, we're still collating.
Ripley: [Laughing in disbelief] You're what? You're still collating? I find that hard to believe.

I have been an iPhone 3Gs user for about a year now, and I love the device.  I also used various Windows phones - specifically the HTC Tilt brand - which could do everything the iPhone can do.  What really sold me on the iPhone was the integration with iTunes - and the simplicity of managing music files.  Since I used iPods - I had a rather large music library that was cumbersome to import into the HTC device.
The 4G looks great and I want one - but I will hold off until they properly address the antenna issue.  I like to be an early adapter, but the pioneers are the ones with all the arrows in their backs..   :)

It's not a '4G' it's a '4'!

Sorry, pet peeve.

I want a 4 too and will probably get one once I decide what network I want to be on (and the networks get more stock!).

I've used PDAs for decades, first Palm and then Windows and now Apple so I'm somewhat insulted by a lot of the above. In my view, while the others can do the same as the iPhone (and more), Palm has been left to rot and Windows takes too much management.

iOS just works which means I actually use the thing where before I would spend hours trying to fine tune it. Call me technically illiterate or whatever you like, that's the way I see it (and make sure you don't fly an aircraft with any of my work in the navigation systems since technically illiterate people like me shouldn't be allowed in technical jobs!;))

I know it's unnusual here but I don't have a podcast of my own.

My point exactly, cheers Mike. And if it's any consolation, I'm actually certified technically retarded...I have a paper work attesting to the fact.

D'oh!  I stand corrected iPhone 4 - typo on the 4G.
The new Palm's are very slick, but just don't seem to catch the public imagination.  I was a Treo 650 user - and was delighted with it - and even have an old original US Robotics Palm around someplace.

Ahh, remember the days of only phones in your home or in those little boxes on the street that Superman changed in?  Those were the days!  ;)

Smartphone ---pahh!  Gimme' one of these..
Walk around town with this and you can hold your head high (Bermuda shorts & block socks & wingtip shoes will add to the effect)

I had the upgrade of that phone! Lol
Kept it in my car for emergencies.  The thing weighed a ton for a 'bag phone'.

Rico

Yeah baby!  Never had dropped calls using those I bet!

RickPeete

Nope! Motorola knew how to make good analog phones back then!  WIth good ole Cellular One!

No, but if you dropped it on your foot you were in trouble! :)

the new Palm looks nice to be fair but it's just too late to market with too little capital behind it. Once you reach the point where you need to sell the first batch in order to finance the manufacture of the second, you must know you're in trouble.

Had I not already moved to Apple then a Pre would now be mine and my views may be different. We'll never know!
