Earlier quoted context omitted.

I also thought it was goofy that this matrix didn't relate any of the associated turn-by-turn nav costs in the iPhone. You have to buy a pricey(for the app store) app and then pay a monthly subscription fee on top of that. This omission is odd especially considering that it's a blog, post and info graphic about costs.

The difference in the cost of plans is a bit shocking. AT&T and Verizon are 50% more expensive than Sprint and T-mobile, and T-mobile doesn't appear to have a data usage cap.

Not sure about AT&T, but Sprint does not have a data cap either.

This used to be true, but a while back Sprint added in a 5G cap like the others...

Is it just me or does this not mention the keyboard, which is going to be a huge selling point for many Blackberry addicts?

The Blackberry's not mentioned at all, which I think is a little sad. It's the only phone that's got a solid set of features that set it apart from the iPhone. Looking at the rest of these I basically see a bunch of me-too phones with no innovation.

such as? android is way more interesting than bb. much more owerful os

Blackberry's an enterprise product. It's still one of the most reliable workplace phones you can get. iPhone's trying to compete with it, but I think BB's still got the lead.

Android's got nothing unique to it beyond its being open source. It's basically a better Windows Mobile.
