[QUOTE="pendlewitch, post: 1338346, member: 214663"] Hi, just to add to Dysfunction's efforts...I had a BB Curve before iPhone 4 and also used Entourage as my default mail with an iBook G4 running Office for Mac. With regards to your 4th question if you are syncing with Mac then I would recommend that you use Mail as your default e mail app. I know Entourage has a nice, more business like feel to it but to be honest there doesn't seem to be any serious benefit to using it any more. The new 'Reminders' app with Lion functions with iCal and not Mail and the 'remind' options are substantive. There is also cool feature with the iPhone, if anybody sends you a text or mail with a date in the content it will highlight it, and if you touch the date it will give you the option of adding it to iCal as an appointment, which will then sync wirelessly if you are on iCloud. Probably Siri will no doubt take care of this in the future. I was also using an app called 'Errands' on the iPhone (it was good) but I've not used it since I upgraded to Lion and iOS5..Reminders is better and fully integrated. There is a Notes app on the iPhone but I've never used it because I couldn't see the point. Re question 5 the Recorder is very good and syncs with iTunes. I've no experience of a voice recorder app on my iPod and am not sure what an iPad 'nano' is ;P Re question 6.. it is an enormous leap from a Qwerty keyboard/Trackball/Small Screen environment to a relatively large touchscreen environment and you are bound to see a slowdown in comms times whilst you get the hang of a touchscreen keyboard and sliding panes. The 2 devices are like chalk and cheese. That said I would never,ever go back.Apart from everything else I found the Music app on the BB pretty awful and the sound quality just as poor. The camera also IMHO is 'pants'. You will use your iPod less and less and your iPhone pretty much for everything. One thing to note, you will need to set your email account up as Imap and not POP otherwise you won't get the server syncing that you had on your BB e.g. deleting a mail on the phone would give the option of deleting it on the server and thus your mail app on your home/work machine.
