[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1086744"] 1. You didn't mention you were in Canada. You'll have to wait a week before you get to play with the iPhone 4, but you have a choice of providers (Rogers, Bell and Telus are all carrying it) and it is sold unlocked up here. I'm in Victoria BTW. 2. If *ALL* you want is a personal planner/phone/email, then honestly it's probably a tossup between the Blackberry and the iPhone. You'll need to check them both out, luckily you'll have plenty of opportunity to do so -- in a week ... 3. IMPO, Blackberrys have a more professional image because they're less fun. Yeah, they are slanted a more toward (specifically email) business stuff, but it's not like the iPhone can't do all that and more, but the iPhone 4 is definitely *marketed* as more of a consumer device. 4. As for "bulky" compared to a (what I assume you mean is actually a fifth generation iPod, the first that could play video): You'd have to be a pretty small person to not have the iPhone 4 fit in your pocket. If that is a 5th gen iPod (60GB?), then the dimensions are 4.1 x 2.4 x 0.55 inches. The iPhone 4's dimensions are 4.5 × 2.4 × 0.46 in. Taller, but thinner. Roughly the same. [/QUOTE]
