> X1, Bold or iPhone 3g?
Bookmark topic
Right I have a upgrade coming up and need some opinions!!
Basically I cant decide between the X1, Blackberry Bold or iPhone 3g. I currently have a iPhone 2g which I have no complaints about but I dont know whether getting a 3g will be alittle samey.
Just want people opinions really on which is the better all rounder. I dont have any really prefs on what a phone does......camera, mp3's, text, call all the normally bits.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
James

Presumably you have the 2.2 software on your 2G iPhone, so the 3G will be VERY samey - you'd really only gain 3G data (assuming you're in a decent coverage area) and the GPS, which is a nice thing to have, but whether it's worth blowing your upgrade on is another thing.
Everyone here will tell you to get an X1, since this is an SE forum... it is the absolute opposite of the iPhone in many ways so might be nice to have for contrast, and for some of the extra functionality... I bet you go back to the iPhone more often than not, though

I believe Dogmann has owned all three, so i would quiz him for an unbiased opinion on the positives and negatives of each

well, I have 2 out of 3 (which according to meatloaf ain't bad!), and while I do love WM, I have to agree that I still use my iphone more than my X1
actually, I'm giving thought to changing the X1 for a HD, which maybe another one for consideration by you?

I would go for the X1. I prefer SE anyway plus the X1 is a sexy all in one device does everything you need in one amazing package. Iphone features are poor in my opinion and i dont like Blackberry designs. X1 all the way.

Hi!
I am using a Bold and a HTC Touch HD!
I like WM a lot too but I do like the Bold for it's ease of email.
Screen on the HD is excellent and I can do everything without using the stylus.

Are you a big texter? If you are, the Bold's a no-brainer.
Otherwise, I'd be equally happy with an X1 or the iPhone3G.

Thank you for everyones replies. I know the only person who can actually decide which one to have is myself but I do like hearing pro's and con's from other users.
I do like the iPhone, I think it is an amazing phone but going for the 3g would seem like im blowing my upgrade really. I think I will do alittle research into the X1 and Bold and see which comes out on top for myself. I am a SE fan really so the X1 always seems to shine through as did the P990i and P1i. Only thing putting me off the BB option is when BB first came to the scene I had one through work for 6 months and was very disappointed. I know obviously things would have changed but still cant shake the fact that it wasnt what I thought it was going to be.
Right im off to have a think about things and I will post back here with my final choice.
Thanks again for all the replies. Can always count on Esato for some good replies.

One last pause for thought - if you really like your iPhone, could you put up with it for another six months? I'm just thinking, you know Apple will be announcing the next generation of iPhone soon enough, to supercede the 3G (and doubtless improve on the screen etc..) - how are you going to feel if you go for the X1 or Bold now, get locked into another 18 month deal, and then the iPhone Pro gets released a few months later?

That is a good point. The only downside to that is if the phone is put back by a couple of months.........for me 6 months already seems like a life time to keep a phone for. I know this probably sounds daft but I do like a change quite often.
Ill have to look into that one.
Another note from me it looks like the BB Storm will also be available to me. If anyone has anything to say on that front!?
Thanks
