Sounds pretty cool. http://blog.chasejarvis.com/blog/2009/09/best-camera-iphone-app-book-community.html P.S. I just posted something on my site that could use your legal opinion. Check it out.

That's it; everything still works, just not as fast. If you're on a non-digital network, I'm not sure it works at all (might be able to make 911 calls, not sure), but, well, you're screwed with any modern phone for networking at that rate.

Essential apps depends entirely on your desires and needs. The App Store "top rated" is a good thing to look through. Regarding last two questions “a lot” and “yes”.

How is the phone impacted if your no in a 3G network? Do the apps not work?? Does the internet not work? Can it still receive email?? Jim, Sigvald –

please explain more. How is the phone impacted if your no in a 3G network? Do the apps not work?? Does the internet not work? Can it still receive email??

I have no direct BB experince, but the consensus appears to be that the iPhone is probably better for everything except the hardest-core email addicts; the iPhone's email capabilities are more than adequate, but it's BB's bread and butter.

If you can keep to 3G coverage areas (goodluck with that mission), you'll have no issues. For some unknown reason yesterday, the ATT 3G network was down, so everyone I know with the Iphone was on the Edge network. It wouldn't let us do a bunch of stuff that we are used to doing. My coverage gets spotty when I get outside of Evansville or the immediately surrounding areas. It seems like the river into IL is a definite barrier. The voice and Edge coverage isn't perfect, however, it's usually enough to pick up a phone call or an email message. If you have any specific questions, feel free to shoot me an email and ask. --Jim I have an Iphone 3G that I use in Southern Indiana.

The browser is flat out incredible, and the range of apps is great (including a free shot-timer app from Surefire). Typing does take a little getting used to without the keyboard. I can do 78-80% of my job from my iPhone, something I couldn't do on a Crackberry. I’ve had 3 Blackberries in the past, and I loves me my iPhone (Caveat: I am also a stark raving mad Apple fanboy).

Right now I use the blackberry as my primary telephone (I take a ton of calls on it) and a ton of email. Today I sent out 79 emails and recieved 298 (so far). I also use it for my calendar. And do a ton of browsing. I don't need it as a compass or a turn by turn GPS - though I could see where that might be handy on a rare occasion, but really just the access to google maps or mapquest will get me there (I have a pretty good sense of direction and don't ever get lost). Also, by middle of nowhere - I travel a lot to the midwest. Western Minnesota, all over Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Central Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma, and throughout the South East - North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama Tennessee. Occasionally to Montana and Colorado (the plains, not mountains unfortunately) Thanks.
