It's gonna be pretty hard to bring him over to the iphone side. But the same could be said about any iphone user.

The iPhone is for everyone out there who could read English or the language supported with the iPhone. It fairly simple to use and understand, however If you still are having trouble with something we are here to help you with you trouble. It's for any and everone does't matter if you are used to be using the blackberry or whatever. iPhone for all.

Again for the free iPhone 3G...and I don't feel dirty at all

By: David

My phone journey parallels this round robin - I have tried the Blackberry Pearl Flip, T-mobile G1, and borrowed a friends iPhone in the last month. My wife and I would have iPhones if we could use them on T-mobile (T-mobile has good coverage in my house while the iPhone on ATT loses all signal ~50 feet away.

Any chance of unlocking the iPhone if I win it?

PJM - "I feel a little dirty for being here, but I want a free phone."

Me too. If I win it I'll sell it then buy a Zune (just to piss off Apple fanboys) and a Touch Pro because I'm never leaving Sprint and my $25 Simply Everything plan.

Ehh. I don't like kevin

I follow crackberry just as much as I follow the iPhone blog and I don't see Kevin ever becoming an iPhone convert. However his reviews are always fair and raise good questions about the different smart phones.

"blackberrys arent as good because they dont have an appstore" There are plenty of places to get apps, you just have to know where to go, there is just no great store in the sky run by steve jobs. Though now there is the crackberry app store...

By: Devonair

This will be interesting... I have trouble with Blackberries because I keep touching the screen. ...and my hand cramps up when I try to use a touchscreen-only device. This is the curse of a longtime Treo user. It'll be interesting to see how Kevin deals with the lack of a physical keyboard.

It will be interesting to see how Kevin approaches it. My advice is to forget what he knows and approach it like it is the first gadget he has ever seen. The productivity will then follow naturally.

Don't do it, Kevin! HAHAH

Kevin my only advise to you is to sit back relax and enjoy the immersive goodness of a ui only a phone whose software was specifically designed for that handset can bring you now breathe deep ......................ahhhh zen

I wonder if it will help/hinder that Kevin already owns an iphone 3g. Some of the people in the round robin are using the Treo Pro, G1, and Fuze for the first time.

By: Jeff

Jeff — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 18:50:34 +0000

I'm willing to bet Kevin will enjoy the iPhone, just not in the "productive" sense of the Blackberry, but the "entertaining, super machine" sense of the iPhone

By: AZBear3G

AZBear3G — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 18:45:00 +0000

I agree with Firas. I have tried to use my iPhone as a business phone but my company won't let me connect to exchange. They only allow blackberries.

If you need to be productive stick to your blackberry. If you want to have fun and be hip iphone it is.

a switch from a blackberry to an iphone could spell the end for KEVIN!

By: talljason

talljason — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 17:47:10 +0000

It'll be good to see Kevin’s perspective of the iPhone 3G with the Blackberry Bold and Storm. To me Blackberry is first for corporate users who depend on e-mail, then consumers who text or e-mail a lot will find it works really well for them.

I bought the Blackberry Curve in October of 2007 to get used to smart phones and understand their features (getting e-mails, accessing the internet, easier SMS & IM, third-party applications, etc). I landed on the Curve mostly because of reviews and praise from sites like Crackberry & BGR.

What I've realized over that time is I really wanted to access the internet and good apps more than getting e-mails immediately and responding super-quick to e-mails and texts. I’m just waiting until April 2009 to switch to the iPhone.

By: Kevin

Kevin — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 16:55:13 +0000

I agree w/Jason, I switched to the iPhone, and definitely miss a LOT about it. That being said, over time i've come to love my little iPhone as well, just differently. It takes time, and patience, and I dont think 1 week is enough to be honest.

By: dstrauss

I really like the iPhone as a "platform" (particularly media and games) but they have just got to add cut/copy/paste and syncing with notes/tasks to take over the the BB space. I realize, however, that the enterprise is a secondary market for them, but since it is burgeoning why not?

By: ryrycalguy

ryrycalguy — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 16:32:36 +0000

I was a BlackBerry abuser for many years before I decided to get an iPhone (because syncing BBs with macs was one of the most painful experiences of my life). But I know Crackberry Kevin is somewhat sensible when reviewing other devices so I'm sure he wont hate on the iPhone too mush. Besides, it's just "different".

Heading over to the forum now to help the frenemy hahah should be fun to here his review when he's done !!!!!! It would be cool if he came on over for good!!

By: Jason

Jason — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 15:11:05 +0000

I don't know Kevin (even by internet definitions of "know"), but I can't imagine him liking the iPhone. It's perfect for me, but I think that's helped by the fact that the Blackberry Curve, which was the only other smartphone I had used with any regularity before getting an iPhone, did not mesh well with me. If he really is a Crackberry addict, I suspect the lack of physical keyboard (insert Storm joke here) and the iPhone's Mail app will combine to irritate him to such a degree as to render all of the other awesomeness of the iPhone moot. I hope I'm wrong.
