I probably will wait. The main reason I'm looking at one is for the Calendar functionality. Currently I can't sync my phone to my computer and I end up having to enter things manually into the phone, which is annoying to say the least.<br/><br/>The iPhone will definately improve on this. I'm just scared of the "data plans" Yeah you are right. I probably will wait. The main reason I’m looking at one is for the Calendar functionality.

The iPhone will definately improve on this. I’m just scared of the “data plans”

I will say this... unless you get enormous quantities of email, much of which needs to be responded to immediately, it's probably not worth getting a bberry and you should wait until the iphone comes out (which will be seriously cool).<br/><br/>Government uses bberries because of the volume of email through the system, combined with the urgent nature of what we do (well some of us anyway) and maybe most importantly, the amount of time we spend travelling. If you're mostly in an office, and if you get anything less than about 300 email a day, you'll probably regret not waiting for the iphone.<br/><br/>I just think the iphones are going to be way cooler, and I'd wait for that reason. Hell I want an iphone!!!<br/><br/>Last thing, really try out the bberry models if you do decide to get one. I know lots of people who hate the little ones because the keyboards are tiny or they're like phone keypads (ie, not a full keyboard). Just make sure your fingers are comfy.<br/><br/>My two cents, you can toss back the change. :) Just remember, they’re called crackberries for a reason - highly addictive!
