Cutting the iPhone Cord (but keeping it as iPod Touch)

I did it.  After carrying around both an iPhone and a Blackberry for 2 years, I cut the cord on my iPhone.


I still have the all benefits of the iPhone - the Wi-Fi, the apps, all of the features (especially because everybody has Wi-Fi these days.)   But because I always thought it was the worst phone I'd ever used (and never did use), I kept carrying my Blackberry.  It is a fact - iPhones drop 1 out of 3 calls.  That's not a phone.  For messages and a phone, there is nothing better than a Blackberry.

The newest Blackberry 9700 came out with an improved track pad, great keyboard, vivid screen, Wi-Fi, 3G and vivid screen.  With a search page that operates as quickly as searches on the iPhone (but I can type in requests without mistakes), the decision was made.

I feel like I must know a great secret.  I know everything about the iPhone and everything it does.  But the camera doesn't even have a flash.....and you need two hands to operate the phone no matter what you are doing.

I cut the cord.  I love the new 9700 Bold.  I never could give up the OS and one handed operation that made it feel like a part of me and now I'm glad I didn't.  This is the perfect phone.
