I had a blackberry torch 9850 before this iphone 4s I got now. (don't really like the i5). Anyway, I really liked the phone. Clear screen, took good pics. Had a LOT ofeatures that I like over the istuff. I like removable battery. I like changeable memory. I like the ability to play different video types that Istuff won't. I'm going to take a look at this new blackberry phone. I'm really just not that impressed with iphones. I don't like the limitations they force on you and never mind using itunes for file management HORRIBLE!!
