said by stufried:Speaking for myself, I have Blackberry for the international data plan. Give me an iPhone with unlimited overseas data and I'll consider switching. My wife uses a Blackberry because it is the only platform her company supports. I don't think the Blackberry is the best consumer device, but ATT has expressly noted on my account that I can stream Pandora anywhere in the world on my account at no extra cost.
I agree that iMAP on a Blackberry sucks. My wife's personal account is also an Exchange Account and we are using Astrasync which is also imperfect solution, but is better than iMap. My personal account is a Google Mail account and the free Google client is great.
I text message over Google Voice and it is great. If I had an iPhone, there is a $2.95 app that makes the Google Voice SMSes push messages that go right into your inbox. You need a separate client for outbound.
I'm looking at Astrasync now since you mentioned it. I do use a BB for work and it is a pretty horrible device for consumer use. Don't expect RIM to tell you that, however. They better continue taking advantage of the fact that the iPhone isn't all all carriers, so does at&t because as soon as that happens both companies will lose a lot of customers.
