They are however primarily business phones, but they can definitely be enjoyed by everyone. If emails and business are big on your agenda I would always recommend the Blackberry as it’s the only smartphone with true push email and has excellent on the go office packages.

However, if you want pleasure over business then iPhone is the only way to go. Way I see it the Smartphone battle is a two phone fight. Blackberry for business, iPhone for fun.

I’d recommend waiting it out or switching to someone else.. 24 months seems a lot! I’ve got an excellent 18 month term with vodafone. £35 / month for unlimited everything – data transfer, blackberry internet (including using my phone as a modem!), calls, texts, media texts… all unlimited!

Any smartphone you get now will be WiFi capable and have a data allowance.

Blackberry’s are shite.

HTC Desire is a nice phone, but doesn’t make sense to my head after 3 years of iPhone use. I’m completely warped into that way of thinking. If your contract is up, can you not switch? I’m probably going to switch to 3 to get the iPhone 4 relatively cheap – I’ll be on iPhone forever – I’m too invested with all the apps I’ve bought, plus I have it working just the way I want.

If you’re already using a lot of Google’s services though, an HTC Desire or the EVO when it comes out, maybe? Certainly the people I know who have them are very pleased.

All have good cameras and all the main stuff you want. Really it comes down to price, contract and which way you want to go – Apple or Google. Bear in mind that you can use all Google’s services on an iPhone just as easily.
