    Posting this on behalf of my Dad. He wants to be able to access his emails easily while at home, work and out and about. He wouldn't really have any need for the MP3 facility of the iPhone. Would he better off with a Blackberry or an iPhone?
    Thanks

    Blackberry with a good tariff for the win there OP. It drags the mail down to the handset for minimal cost.

    As the other two said, go with the Blackberry. TBH having used the iphone, while it has a great interface it's lacking on a lot of other thing's.

    As the fact that he doesn't need an MP3 player, knocks out a lot of the features on the iPhone.

    Ditto for me. I'm using an iphone at the moment, having moved from a blackberry. While I love the iphone, the blackberry has been around longer and is more refined to the task of emailing. It can pull down mail quicker and cheaper than the iphone and if he won't use the player facilities of the iphone, it's blackberry ftw.

    it's at the top of the phone where the little hole is, put a paperclip in there and the sim tray pops out.
