Switch back to BlackBerry
The annoyances with the iPhone exceeded the wow factor long ago. I've simply been stewing. I finally broke down and purchased a BlackBerry Bold 9000 off eBay last night. Its arrival can't come soon enough.
I didn't leave the BlackBerry platform out of disgust. I didn't leave it because I wanted something new and shiny. I simply needed a phone after I sent my Curve through the wash and the iPhone was cheaper at contract price. The iPhone was fun. Even with its flaws, even with as much as I complain, it does graphics like nobody's business with an interface that's better than any other phone on the market, as long as the app doesn't support orientation changes.
The ultimate example of the iPhone's features is Base Velocity's RadarScope. Pinch/flick zooming is there, and it's smooth. Details cleanly fade in and out as needed at each zoom level, well, more like zoom gradient. It's really that smooth. The interface is clean and any clickable item is finger-friendly. It's the only app I'll miss when I switch back to the BlackBerry.
