"If you turned your new BB, prevented the screen from turning of and loaded web site after web site over and over again for five hours.... Bet your BB would have little to no battery power as well. I should know I gave my BB Curve to my wife when the G1 came out."
Totally wrong. I'll take my blackberry over any of these phones anyday. I can take my blackberry camping and it will last from Friday morning until sunday afternoon without charging so long as I don't use it for too many multimedia applications and I remember to turn off bedside mode. Normally, (with bedside mode on so the screen always shows the time) moderate surfing, some music, phone calls and texting, I can usually miss a night of charging and my phone will work for most of the next day.
As for it not being in the same league? maybe not, but i use it for games, tv shows, playing music, surfing the internet and a navigation system. What more would I want to do?
