I just activated an old, first generation iPhone. The experiment begins. If I can last a month, I'm getting an iPhone 3GS. If not, Blackberry, Palm, HTC / Google are all in the running.
I expect to miss my BlackBerry. But, I don't want to commit to an iPhone 3GS over the Blackberry Tour (probably on Verizon), without at least seeing if the apps can be worth the loss of instant messenger. Key things I expect to miss in addition to google talk include background apps, over the air syncing with my google account, and a real keyboard. I'm already not looking forward to deleting all the duplicates this just created by using both my google contacts and apple address book (which it forced me to do!). Note to apple: I don't always want to use your product. In fact, most times, I don't want to use it. So, leave me be.
Any tips for making the switch greatly appreciated.
On the bright side, I'm no longer carrying around 2 Blackberry Curves and an iPhone. Not sure if that makes me more of a geek or less of one.
