Nokia, Blackberry or IPhone? Which one is best?

all those companies are releasing their brand new smartphones, all of them with awesome navigation features, tactile displays, GPS, etc.
One thing is obvious, IPhone hit first, and that often means hitting twice. However, reading the specialised magazines I see that the other two, which are newer, have as much if not more and better features than the Iphone.
Has any of you tried any of them? which one of them do you think is the best of all? why?
Thanks in advance friends!

Because of change in status of my job, I recently, within past year, had to change my cell phone... I had one of the basic phones & I started traveling more & more & I found myself in need of one of the "smart phones"... I haven't tried any of the Nokia "smart phones" but as for the I-Phones, original version & the newer 3g version, I really didn't like them... I didn't like the size & the feelings of the phone... I didn't like the sound quality of the phone in comparison to other AT&T phones... It's just a personal opinion & preference... I have blackberry pearl 8120 & I like it way better than iphone... Pearl 8120 is wifi capable, just as iphone 3g, 2mp camera (movie & still pictures), like the one you'll find on iphone 3g, emails & internet access, text & other messages... Blackberry pearl 8120 does everything I need it to do & I'm very happy with the sound quality, size & the feeling of it in my hand...

If you're looking for large internal memories, blackberry may not be one for you... Pearls only come with 64 meg of internal memory... Now, if you can work with memory card, then it would be ok... I have 4 gig memory card in it, meximum memory card the blackberry can handle is 4 gig I think... I paid little more that $25 for the memory card... I do have a lot of files in that card... I do translation work & at times, I do have to record conversations & notes & I use my phone's voice recorder for that... Of course data cable helps me a lot for transfering files from one computer to another but I don't use that too much only because I use DVD RW disc for that... I've been using 2 discs for past 2 month, each holds around 4.5 gig of information...

Hi Lightnin, long time no see/read :):)
I kind of came by mostly to say hello, because I don't have an iphone or any of the newer similar ones. And I don't think I will have one any time soon hehehe
Any product that hits the shelves first is both blessed and cursed at the same time. sure they will rake up incredible profits while there is no competition around, but it will also allow the others to catch up and sometimes even top, the original product.
In any case, I have no special choice here. I would probably skip blackberry because I don't like it for some reason. But between iphone and nokia I would have to stop, research and think :)
Glad to see you back.

I like the Nokia Phone. It is the best. Has good features. Handy and lasts long. It has one of the best reviews out there. Using GPS features can be a costly affair. When needed, I use this feature anyway.

its realy difficult to say which one is best but i think if you are searching for a business phone then blackbery is the best .in terms of show iphone wins .in terms of multimedia features nokia is the best.so first decide for what reason you want to buy a phone.

I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but I'd rather have the IPhone. Blackberry storm is nice but my friend bought one a few days ago and took it back a few days later because the battery life is just so ridiculously poor.

I don't know about other blackberrys but I had the blackberry pearl for 2 years. It was terrible! I couldn't use the interenet for months. Customer service was terrible. I had to send the phone in and I had no temp phone to use. It broke twice the same way. The track ball wouldn't work.. so the only thing I could was answer calls. It happened after on year and it was still under warrantly... so it was replaced but then it happened again after a year... the exact same defect. It got stolen and I was so happy.

Oh The iPhone rocks. I have had the opportunity to use both the Blackberry and iPhone. I do not think that Nokia has yet come into the competition. The Blackberry is more business oriented. With less on the fun side. But the iPhone can handle both the aspects of a person's life normally and in a way better than Blackberry. The Blackberry is bulky and kinda cumbersome to use with so many buttons, I mean a whole QWERTY keyboard fit on a small panel. iPhone on the other hand is all simple touch gestures. And also with the multi touch gestures, browsing and working with pictures becomes very easy.

iphone looks amazing. but then cell phone is not a show piece rite?
- ifone has camera of only 2 megapixel which is poor in terms of what u pay for it.
- camera has no flash (OMG)
- u can only take photos and cannot shoot a video.
- while smsing u cannot directly forward any sms u have received, u have to go to create message and type the whole thing.
- it doesnt hav speakers so wearing headphones is must if u want to hear music.
- hassles of itunes and its softwares.
about blackberry, nothing needs to be said about its technology as it is amazing, but the point is do u really need that much of technology esp it business features?
if not then why to waste money?
so if u do not want a business class phone then better use the money for some thing rich in multimedia like N95 or the N96 or N85 or N81.

I prefer Nokia than any other phones.. It's the best phone model for me as i've been using it for so many years.. it's user-friendly!!! But if given a chance to use Iphone, then i'd probably opt it over the Nokia mobile phone..

Nokia is a great brand. To me, they last longer. My last phone was a Nokia and it lasted for 3 years. But I just recently bought a Samsung Balckjack II and so far it seems like a great phone. Its easy to navigate and it has some great features. It is also a smartphone

I would go with Blackberry though I have LG phone. I compared blackberry from iphone and I like blackberry than iphone or nokia. Blackberry is more clearer when it comes to pictures and videos. With GPS, there's no problem with that. Also with e-mails. Just name it. I know each phone has its cool features but I would still go with blackberry

I would love the Blackberry phone. It is very expensive though but I wil get one in a few years when it is out of date.
I got my daughter the LG cookie for christmas. She thinks it good like an i-phone only the next best thing. She is only 12 years so shes gonna love it.

A friend of mine has the IPhone and he loves it. In the past couple of years he has had a blackberry and now the IPhone, he says it is so much better. I do not have any of them and am not financially able to get one so I can only go from what he has said.

I have an iPhone and love it. I can't imagine going back to a regular phone and don't think there is a phone out there that I would prefer. I've played with a lot of the new phones recently helping my mom pick one and was less than impressed by the competition. I have yet to see a single feature that even comes close to matching the iPhone's app store. That alone puts the iPhone on top.
