iPhone lover finally went to the dark side
by gerrybrennan on May 3, 2010
Pros: I have been with the iPhone, since it first came out. From the time I got the phone in my hand I was in love. The removal of the ball in the middle and a easy to use mouse. I can sync all my Mac apps and iTunes music.
Cons: Some songs will not sync do to them being protected. Wish it had 3G
Summary: This is definitely a phone worth using, never liked blackberry before, but I am hooked now.

thank god they got rid of that track ball.
by rayfromauburn on May 22, 2010
Pros: trackpad is so much more enjoyable to use. It's quick and responsive. The apps are just the right amount for me. No 3g, but Edge works fine. Have never lost a signal or dropped a call, which was common with LG & sometimes with Samsung.
Cons: wished it had the gps.
Summary: recommend it and would definetly buy again.
