It's upgrade time for me! I can have either a free BB Bold 9700 for £37.50 per month 18 month deal. or a 24 month £45 a month + £29 for the iPhone 4.

I have got an ipod touch and Nokia 5800 at the moment. The nokia is awful and the ipod is awesome but doesn't make calls! What shall I do?

Personally I would say neither!

That seems expensive for both of them and neither of which I have never got on with.

I would be looking for something Android based tbh.

You thought about the HTC Desire?

Blackberries are awesome for email, text and phoning, less good at music and surfing (though they do both, just not as well as the iphone). work out how much extra that iphone is costing you (about £75 or so) and see whether you'd be happy paying that much just to have calls and the music etc in the one device. As an alternative have a look at Android devices like the HTC Desire. Much cheaper than the Iphone and they do pretty much the same sort of thing, arguably better.

Another vote for neither

I will second that, iv had an Iphone, and moved to the 9700, the only thing i miss is the internet browser really.

A lot of people who don't want to sell out to apple and 'be an individual' HA they go android.

I had a Bold and sent it back within a week. The UMA didn't always work plus other little problems. I now have a HTC Desire and it's a fantastic phone.

Several of the guys where I work have had Blackberries & they've had nothing but trouble with them, so got rid of them.

They switched to Iphone 3GS's but don't like them much either, now they've seen my HTC Desire & someone else's Samsung Galaxy S and are split down the middle which to get. Of course I'm biased with my Desire which runs Android 2,2, it also does have a reasonable camera with a flash which the Galaxy S doesn't.

You can always get Quickoffice to open up documents & you get a PDF viewer as well, plus all of the other goodies like GPS, Google Maps, MP3 player, Calculators, reasonable browser, email client, bluetooth which you can use to transfer files with unlike Iphone, Wi-Fi etc. Best phone I've ever had.

I like the bold I have and have not seen any issues with it other than a slightly slow GPS.

It is a business phone, so I might have some of the issues "managed" away for me.

I like my Bold, what 'issues' are you talking about?

Running slow? stop filling it up with Apps (like a pc)

I have to reboot mine once and a while but apart from that, good signal, easy to use keys Cam isnt bad.

Its personal choice...... do you mind how big it is? Dell Streak?

Another vote for the Desire, sorry but it's much better than the iPhone 4. Have a look at this - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-10947784

I have a BB for work and that's flawless so far, it depends on what you want to do with it i suppose!
