Blackberry is releasing model 9530 in October strictly on Verizon. Its a larger touch screen than the iphone 3g, allows to switch to horizontal or vertical keyboard on screen when sending texts, glass screen, designed to feel like your actually pushing down on buttons when you touch the screen, bluetooth stereo music capable, and several similar features to the iphone 3g. I think this one will be the one that either matches or beats the iphone. I read the reviews on this phone and has me really interested but I dont think I could ever leave the iphone 3g.
