The phone has its shortcomings, but even the Storm haters have to admit that's pretty impressive for a phone.

Running 5.0.0.140 and my app memory actually went UP almost 1MB while opening all of those programs. Also, the BlackBerry Browser had 8 tabs open with full webpages (not mobile versions) loaded

why cant the iphone stay connected with msn, aim, yahoo, icq in realtime?

why cant i do that without crashing or freezing my phone????

Who has owned both iPhone and Blackberry?

I can multitask with my phone... do you have one? You seem to be misinformed.

I rather push over realtime connection. Try using BeeJive for more than 8 hours on one charge. Please don't say you can, even BeeJive knows that.

I've never had my phone freeze and crash... might want to stop using a BlackBerry as that sounds like a BlackBerry concern.

i just received one as a gift and i cant get it to do anything i want it to its asking me to connect it to my computer wtf for? i don't need itunes im fine with winamp i want to get apps in it when i try to do that it asks me for a account? i don't want to jailbreak it i just want the phone to do what i want everyone says its great but my old nokia e70 does more than this phone even my old blackberry storm is a swiss army knife compared to this brick

I will agree this is the one thing I miss about my crackberry, but the iPhone does everything I want so much better it's worth the switch. Plus with all the apps with push coming out now it's getting there.

Because it's not available on the iPhone, if you really want that there is a decent phone called the Pre that can.

You can, this is the perfect situation for a push app. You must not of heard of that yet, check it out. Apple Push Notification service - Get Ready for iPhone OS 3.0 - iPhone Developer Program

I have no idea... I don't have, nor do I know anyone, that has these issues. Maybe you should exchange it if you are having issues.

Do you actually have an iPhone? Or just complaining in general?

this too is a requirement. you must register with itunes in order to sync your iphone data (pics, contacts, music) and install apps. pretty basic here.

as justin mentioned earlier, maybe you should just exchange it. but before doing so, i'd research these forums a bit more. there are answers on TiPb. you just have to make an effort to look.
