I have to agree with Vinnnie, the iPhone doesn't do everything a real BB or Treo will do...not the garbage entry level shit like the Storm and the like but actual BB phones are far superior to the iPhone when all is said and done. Only thing the BB doesn't do at that level that would be nice is the mp3 player but at a business level phone that is not an issue.

I carry my touch and use my BB every day...do not want the iPhone at all.

the iPhone then takes a more multimedia side with use of applications such as Pandora Radio and Shazaam too. It's a quality product. If it weren't there wouldn't be so many clones on the market (G1, Storm, etc)

thanks for the help guys
Don't forget, with DVDFab 5, you can convert your DVD's to .MP4. I have my touch loaded with videos. It's awesome for long commutes and waits.

As far as a screen protector goes ... I kept the stock one on there. I have my touch in a leather case, so the edges of the device are covered. The original plastic film won't peel up because of this.

They have 80 gig classics going for $199 right now, the internet/apps on the touch are nice features but until the price/storage goes down I'm not going to get one

i've had a BB and now use the iphone... the only thing i can think of that the BB had more was that you could add notes to a contact.


but god i hate the Interface on a BB. everyone i know that has it never want to go on internet with it cause the screen is so fucking tiny. web navigation sucks on the BB. the keyboard is kind of cool but really once you get used to the iphone keyboard you're good to go.

would you guys be interested in a batch file mp4 converter?

I'm really on the fence about making one, it'd probably entail creating d2v files for DVD's but should eventually support:

AVI/data input
Multi-cores
Quality Multi-passes (to a selectable Nth number of encodes)
Advanced bitrate selection
and pretty much anything the command line x264 utilizes

I could also make profile batches that will automatically convert to preset default sizes and such
