My carrier Sprint know has the iPhone and I am eligible for a upgrade in March. I am currently using a BlackBerry Curve 3G with OS 6. I may consider moving to the iPhone but have questions.

1) Can Facetime be used over standard cellular or does it always require WIFI?
2) Can the iPhone be synced with iTunes so I can get Podcasts and such?
3) Can I play all my movies, TV shows and such that will not sync with my BB due to itunes copyrights?
4) Is there a memo pad app and if so with what app can it sync with? Entourage?
5) How is the voice notes recorder? Is it similar to that in the iPad nano?
6) What are the issues with the iPhone over the Blackberry? Please compare iPhone to a MODERN BB and not some ancient beast running OS 4.x.

1. Currently it requires wifi but down the road Apple might enable it over 3G or if you JB you can do it over 3G also.
2. Yes.
3. Yes.
4. There's many memo and notes apps out there. Not sure but you should be able to find one.
5. Yes.
6. The iphone beats any modern BB hands down. The user experience and response is great. That's the reason iOS devices keep growing and BB keeps losing market share.
