iPhone, I’m biased but after spending way too much time helping a coworker who just got a BB Storm 2 I can say I’d never take a BB over my iPhone. ---

Work network is AT&T. I can get a Bold 2 right now or wait a month or 2 and _maybe_ get an iphone. ---

Is there even a big difference between all the different BBs aside from form factor and speed? ---

Neither one is particularly durable, so get a good skin/case and some screen protector films when you get it. You can use the blackberry with gloves on. :tup: (iphone has a capacitive touch screen so no glove love.) If you want AT&T and durable take a look at the e71x (or any Nokia e-series off ebay). I’m really impressed with mine. I’ve dropped it a few times on hard floors, concrete, steel. There’s barely a mark on it. Granted it’s also nowhere near as user friendly/gadgety-cool as a BB or iphone… ---

Iphone. I’d recommend an otter box defender case if you are hard on phones. ---

I will leave this thread saying this… If it’s a toss up between a BB or an iphone, well, it shouldn’t even be a discussion. BB dominates the iphone, and you dont look like a highschool girl. if it were between, say, a BB, the un-neutered version of what fry has, or a android phone, that would be a good debate. ---

> [@Fry](#): > > ^Think you’ll ever get your custom title from Nikuk? :mamoru: LOl It was at least a year ago I just never told him what to put so he put that I guess. I’m not perticularly dedicated to a certain thing/phrase whatev., and I guess a little unimaginative. :pimp: That otter box is seriously the shit. My friend threw his iphone up at least 10ft high and it landed right on concrete, just to prove that point. I was getting ready to make fun of him for being a fool as he went and picked it up, but it still worked fine. lol what a retard still… ---

I said Bold only because AT&T doesn’t work well in Vegas. My sister and brother in law came here for a week and had to go outside my house to get service. Otherwise I’d go with the iPhone. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/if-you-didnt-have-to-pay-for-it-bold-2-or-iphone/77879.md?page=2)
