For the last month or so I have been wanting to upgrade my phone to some type of smart phone. I’ve basically ruled Windows Mobile out because it user interface is not very easy to use and you always have to have a stylist. So at the moment its come down to either an iPhone or a Blackberry Pearl.

Both phones have pros and cons but I am torn on which to pick. If I where to get a Blackberry I could get one through Verizon Wireless and not have to extend my contract or pay any fees. The only thing is I’ve never used the Blackberry OS and don’t know if I would like it.

If I get an iPhone I would have to switch wireless carriers and go to AT&T. Pay for the phone, and pay a cancellation fee. I would also have to sign a 2 year contract, I hate contracts.

So I’m at bit torn. I really do want the iPhone even though it would be a boat load of cash to switch. I have also wanted to go to a GSM carrier for a while since it would be much easier to change my phone out when I need it. The iPhone is also going to have a very promising App Store which I’m very interested. But again there is no G3 iPhone yet and that is the major thing holding me back.

At this point I have decided to wait until June to make a decision. WWDC is in June when Apple will officially release the App Store and some people speculate that they will release an new iPhone.

There is only one issue with this… I want it now.
