Well, they say 4th time’s the charm.  I finally got my new 16GB 3G iPhone this weekend.  I really loved spending early Saturday morning in line at Lenox Mall.  Thank you Apple!  What else would I have done with those 4 hours?

So let me just say that the phrase “learned behavior” has taken on a whole new meaning for me.  I had no idea how ingrained my last 6 years of BlackBerry use was, which resulted in some awkward trials this weekend.

Don’t get me wrong, I am delighted with some of the new features my iPhone offers.  But I totally miss the way you speed dial from your BlackBerry by hitting one button (ah, the buttons…), or the amazing battery life (this once a day iPhone charge is never going to work) or the actual keypad where I was a one-handed SPEED typer.

On the flip, the iPhone display is amazing and the fully integrated apps ROCK - it’s particularly nice to consolidate my ipod mini and my phone. The email readability is tops, and I love to finally browse in style. And I thought the BlackBerry was crack.

But why can’t we get the best of breed phone? Wouldn’t that be ideal?

And has anyone else made the switch and still find themselves looking for the blinking red light on your phone?
