Default Time for a change - mobile

I've had an iPhone fir as long as they've been around and I'm bored! Is there anything else good out there? I'm due an upgrade, this phone is driving me NUTS, only receiving texts when they're pushed through by another one.
I haven't kept up with the latest gizmos and gadgets so I've no idea what's out there!

Cheers oh mighty BD!!

iphone is the only phone worth having. Nexus One looks good, but its still no iphone.

hang about (i know it'll be nearly an impossible option) till the new iphone will surely appear in the summer.

Blackberry 9700 Bold might be worth having a look at if you really fancy a change.

A Blackberry isn't an alternative to an iPhone, I use both (I've been through a few different BB models) and the Blackberry is good for one thing - email, and that's it.

They do work rather well as phones too . It also has an application store for things like Twitter, but they're a bit more expensive than those from the Apple App Store.

Blackberry's work very well as phone and texting/e-mail devices, you know, the things phones really need to be good at. The iPhone adds a lot of unnecessary extras that we're being fooled into thinking are needed now.

What, like the 'only post once' app invaluable for some, I'd say

Can't advise which to get but I can advise not to get the Nokia 5800. Its resistive screen makes it a pain in the lower hemisphere and I'm stuck with the damn thing. Capacitive screens for the win if touch screens is the way your going.
