This makes my programmer friend go nuts with joy. the T mobile G1 and G3 phones are far better, cheaper, and more customizable, as it runs on a heavily modified Linux OS.

Despite the better browsing, I went with Blackberry because I absolutely HATE touch screens. I constantly touch the wrong icon or key. The AppStore is an abomination. I love my mac, and I think Apple is great, but the whole idea of them picking and choosing which apps can go on the platform definitely rubs me the wrong way. Also, even though Apple and ATT get that control, there are so many apps that get added to the app store every minute that it's difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff, and there is a lot of chaff.

Not bad for all the pluses, but worth keeping in mind. Plus, the monthly cost for the iPhone averages around $40 more. Not bad for all the pluses, but worth keeping in mind.

I have a BB Storm. Except...what nubby mouse-like creature? I went BB because I detest AT&T. I'm sure after a few years I'll dislike Verizon as much. I find most of your pros and cons accurate.

As software based radios get cheaper there will be no security for GSM calls, they are mostly in the hobby market currently. There are more technical links but this podcast gives a good understanding. http://twit.tv/sn213 GSM encryption cracking is now trivial if you have a software based radio.

But it is the predominate wireless network protocol in North America, which is where most of the iPhone market it. At this point, the only thing preventing Apple from grabbing even more market share with the iPhone is the fact that it's a GSM based device.
