I'll admit that the iPhone would be hard to use as a blackberry replacement. This is based on my recent experiences with the iPod Touch which shares the same basic platform (and on-screen keyboard) as the iPhone. What makes the iPhone so darn special is not email ... it is... the WWW!

The Safari browser on the iPhone/iPod Touch is nothing short of phenomenal. So much so that email is no longer the killer mobile app.

I was playing with Andre's iPhone the other day, and by far the most interesting feature to me was that it had a "real" web browser on it. RIM, I want a good browser on my crackberry. Please.

Thanks.

I'm following this wiki where some guys are taking a serious swing at cracking the iPhone. My BlackBerry Curve is a superior messaging device to the iPhone, but I'd probably buy one anyway just as an evening phone...provided I didn't need an AT&T account.
