For starters, the Verizon guy probably wanted you to go Blackberry cause it's more expensive and they work on commission.
Other than that, blackberry's are much less customizable that the Q9 (or any windows mobile phone for that matter). My mom just got a Curve through ATT and I played around with it for a bit. The layout of the Q9c seems much more user friendly than the UI for the blackberry. Almost everyone in the world is familiar with how windows works, so navigating around a Q9c is easy, where the blackberry will definately take some getting used to. Other than that, the only thing BB has going for it is direct push email, which if you read my thread on Seven Systems, you realize you can direct push for Q9c as well.
I would definately stick with a Q9 having used both the curve and a q9c. |
