Today (2008 11 17) The Globe and Mail reported ( http://www.reportonbusiness.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20081112.wblackberry1112/BNStory/Business/?cid=al_gam_nletter_dtechal) that: "Apple sold 6.9 million iPhones in its fourth quarter compared to the 6.1 million BlackBerries RIM sold in its quarter ending Aug. 30." Furthermore, Kren Dyck (thank you!) has pointed out that BlackBerrys appear to have twice the failure rate of iPhones: http://advocatesstudio.wordpress.com/2008/11/11/study-blackberry-has-twice-failure-rate-of-iphone-latest-wireless-news-cnet-news/ Cheers and thanks!

Apple has the iPhone-application market pretty well tied-up, so I guess they can limit their sales to the iPhone store. It is too bad, though, that they won't let you even look at the app store unless you go through the iTunes store. Looking at the feature-set comparison (for which I thank you immensely, by the way!), it looks like an easy decision: the iPhone looks like the better deal. Now, to decide if I should trade-in my Rogers cell phone and pay extra to buy-out the rest of my contract, or see if I can get by with the same cell phone and an iPod Touch. I've heard that the iPod Touch can (at least, from wi-fi areas) be used as a phone, and perform almost all of the iPhone's other tricks, without being tied to a three-year contract.
