    Sony Xperia Arc/Blackberry Torch/Iphone 4 - Help me out boys

    finally eligible for my hardware upgrade tomorrow...narrowed it down to those 3 phones. I'm on Rogers and the Arc is the best Android they're offering right now. Don't want to wait for the Iphone 5 cuz my 3G is just slow as shit and the battery dies before the end of the day.

    need some help boys...if u own any of these 3 phones let me know how they are. I've never used a Droid phone before so how does it compare to the Blackberry OS or IOS? How's the Droid app store? I heard battery life is lower on Droid phones, is that true?

    These are specs:

    Torch: http://www.gsmarena.com/blackberry_torch_9800-3203.php
    Xperia Arc: http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsso...a_arc-3619.php
    Iphone4: http://www.gsmarena.com/apple_iphone_4-3275.php

    From what I see, the Arc barely edges out the Iphone and the Berry is the worst by a wide margin. But that's just on paper.

    I've had blackberry/android and used iphone


    I'd either go Iphone or Android.

    I of course prefer my Android (Htc Evo) but the Iphone would be a nice phone as well. Both trump the fuk outta my blackberry I had before.

    Not sure if I can go on any longer with this slow and 4-6 hour battery 3G. Even If I waited till Sep (estimated release date) stock would prob be extremely limited and I wouldn't be able to get my hands on one till December or even 2012.

    Iphones are for douches. So if you have several douche friends, I would recommend it. Blackberry is horrible. Android is far superior to them all and with sony phones you are free to alter them however you want (i.e. install enhanced software). Arc 100%

    I have a blackberry torch but only because I'm a blackberry head. I love the phone. But if I wasn't so used to blackberry, I would get an android with adobe flash. I know blackberry torch doesn't have it, and I don't think iphone does either. You can't browse a lot of websites without adobe.

    Switch to Bell or Telus.

    Rogers sucks with selection these days.

    All those phones are so last year.

    Get the Arc or iphone 4 if you can't wait too long.

    Some decent phones will be coming soon.

    I have the Atrix on Bell, it's been great so far. With the new updated getting even better download/upload speeds.
