I don't think it will last. (note it's an EDGE iphone so that it's a fair comparison to my old Curve as I think the 3GS and the Tour will be comparable as well) Push email, sound profiles are things that sound like it's easy to live without, but it's noticeable. The berry keyboard is better not just for typing, but for fast navigation of your calendar, your email, your contacts and the rest of the OS. Opera Mini imitates the iphone browser sufficiently. The wifi being disabled is a joke though. I haven't noticed any of the absurdity that everyone else has on AT&T, though I've been in NYC forever with AT&T only, so maybe I just don't know any better.

I think it's ridiculous that they still make smartphones with no wifi. Using cell service instead of wifi takes more power, it eats your battery up. A laptop does not really replace a phone, at least not an iphone, because you can do more with an iphone - it has more apps, especially games and a touch interface. And finally, wifi is faster, and if you're going international you don't have bankrupting data rates. If you had a phone with wifi capabilities, would you shut it off? No? Does not having wifi add value to the phone? This irks me. I’m going to keep harping on the no-wifi bit. I think it’s ridiculous that they still make smartphones with no wifi.
