Do I contradict myself?

Remember how, back in May, I wasn't sure I really wanted an iPhone? I think I may have changed my mind.

My Nokia's degeneration continues apace, and I got to take one for a test drive the other day at CostCo and... well, I really liked it. Plus, I get tired of having to constantly rotate stuff on and off my shuffle. Plus the map thingy is gonna add a few years onto my life, I'm sure of it. Or at least my marriage.

So, yeah. Just a little rumination. It'll at least be enough of a mini computer to keep, say, con schedules and email on and that's a bunch of awesome.

I'm vacillating about the Blackberry or iPhone.

I am going with the BlackBerry Bold myself.

But the iPhone has a 3d world in it (http://gizmodo.com/5040631/3d-app-converts-iphone-into-window-to-alternative-world)

Just sayin.

Apple pretty much owns a lot of my computing experience, too; but, that's not who I work for. There are compelling reasons for you to take those bucks you're going to spend on a 3G iPhone and turn around and spend it on another market-leading 3G device (ahem) which should now be available to you.

I would quietly point you to the various media reports about the efficiency (or lackthereof) of the radio in the iPhone. How well will it perform for you as an actual 3G device? I'm not sure. But apparently a lot of people are asking that question...

The iPhone only has what, 16 gigs? I need more then that. My iPod had 80, and I now wouldn't want to downsize to less than, say, 60gigs.

Could you more directly point me at various media reports?

I'm pretty sure I should be fine with that much space. I'm probably gonna get the 8 gig.
