iPhone or android then.... Personally I like the iPhone and I use tapatalk to connect to this forum and others. Not sure if that's available for android but i would have thought so. If not there will be similar

Danger, do not buy an iPhone 4s.
If you do, you will become an Apple-phile overnight and be induced to buy an iPad 2.
I fell into the same trap and have now brainwashed my other half by buying her a matching pair (ooeer missus) also.

Only thing I don't like about mine is when I'm driving and I get a phone call my nav display won't show who's calling. I wish there was a fix for that

Blackberry is tanking - two top directors recently resigned, their having lost massive market share to iphone, and also having let its corporate customers down last year when their network was down for days. I'd avoid them.
Go for the iphone - I recently upgraded from my cranky old iphone 3G to the 4s and it's brilliant ! Can even shoot full HD video.
I don't even use tapatalk, just the regular internet browser on the phone.

Have bought mutliple Blackberry's for household & an iphone 4s........Not contest 4s all the way.
Just be mindful of a 3 yr contract on 4s as new chassis iphone5 will be with us later half of this year.
As for me I simply run a water & shock resistant Samsung - boring yes but durable & fits current work & play needs.

Having had BBs for 10 years or so, it was useless for internet.
Now have an iPhone and it has been great (except for the battery).

Oh how I know that feeling!! I remember the conversation after buying a single iPad v1 (it was supposed to be going to be shared) going along the lines of, no you're absolutely right, we don't need another one...........24 hours later we were back in Comet and coming out with another one!! And it had to be of a matching spec too - but with a better case!!
I wonder if I can sneak an iPad3 into the house un-noticed in a few weeks time.....
