Default Re: iPhone v. Blackberry Storm v. Dare ----- AHHH

the storm will play your AAC files and getting them to sync up is as easy as dragging and dropping the files onto your phone. it comes with an 8 gig card built in. the main difference besides lacking wifi is that you can do MMS with the storm and you have a removable battery. those are pluses, not having wifi isn't much of an issue as long as you have coverage where you are going to use the device.

the dare does not have mobile tv. it has vcast but not mobile tv capability. the voyager is the only touch screen that has tv capability.

bottom line is play with all three and go from there. they all have their downsides.

Thanks for the clarification.
My daughter has the Voyager and I assumed the Dare would be the same.
Bad assumption I guess.
Well then, that leaves little desire for the Dare.
That brings me to two choices.

The removable battery is a plus indeed as you can buy an extra one if needed and never lose power.

I have the Voyager with Mobile TV. I don't really use the Mobile TV all that much. There is rarely any live programming, but it does help calm a crying baby, and they recently added the Angels network. Yes...Victoria Secrets' Angels.

Other than that, the phone is not that great.

I had the original iPhone for a year and got rid of it after getting a job with a new company. I wasn't getting any reception in the building and I would have a dead battery almost every night an hour or 2 after leaving work. I must state that this is the ONLY reason I changed. I loved my iPhone.

I moved to a Blackberry Pearl (8100) because I have always loved the Blackberry's I have had thru work. Plus they conserve battery a lot better then the iPhone. I have had none of the same problems as I did with the iphone battery and I'm still with at&t.

I played with a storm over the weekend, and it is not as responsive as the iphone. For a touch screen, I vote iPhone. The iPhone is smooth and very responsive. The storm is slow and jerky. I don't like it.

Just my

Jay - What if your music files are in Apple's format (I've got an iTouch)? What's AAC? Sorry, I'm mostly a tech-idiot.
