I do not believe that either of us are going to switch from our selected brand anytime soon, although i will be taking away a great piece of information in case someone is asking me the benefits of the iphone.

The iPhone user manual is 123 pages... the Blackberry 7100 is 146.

:oP

FWIW check out the supposed leaks of the Blackberry 9000 series. If iphone thought they were stealing BlackBerry users, they are in for a rude awakening if the 9000 leaks are accurate.

. . . a great piece of information in case someone is asking me the benefits of the iphone.

"The iPhone user manual is 123 pages... the Blackberry 7100 is 146."

A better piece of information is that in those 146 pages of manual for the BB 7100, there is NOT ONE GRAPHIC, not even a picture of the phone or a map of the keyboard and function keys! The iPhone's manual has full color graphicsk, some times up to 4 per page, on 64 of it's 123 pages.

The Blackberry's is almost all dense prose... two columns per page... and lists 5 to 15 steps long to accomplish most of the Blackberry's functions. The iPhone's has only one column per page a good use of white space to make it easier reading.

The other piece of information useful to someone asking the benefits is that most people don't need the iPhone's 123 page manual... and everything is accessible with several taps on the touch screen.

From first glance, we know where RIM got its ideas for the Blackberry 9000 in the first place.
