Joining the modern world via iPhone 4s

I thought I'd be loyal to my beloved Blackberry until the very end. 

Every time someone would preach iPhone, I'd rebound with Blackberry arguments.

However, my Torch... well. It was starting to make me stabby. No good. 

The last straw when it when it started taking almost a minute just to open my email... on top of 2 battery pulls a day. (That seems to be the way to cure a blackberry - pull the battery?)

Anyways, a one day sale on the iPhone 4s lead me to this baby. 

I'm completely overwhelmed - so I need your help.

What are your "must have" apps? HELP!

...and someone please tell me typing gets easier?

Yesssssssssssss! Don't feel bad for crossing over - McHottie preached the BB before switching too and now he's not ashamed to admit how much better it is with the iphone!

Typing does get better, but the autocorrect will still forever drive you nuts. I used to be BB tactile and now I have a hard time typing on BBs so you will get used to it.

My fav apps:

Myfitnesspal (you can scan bar codes to enter them into your diary)
instagram
ditpic
Draw Something (add me and we'll play together! "angiealltheway" obvi)
iP Free (lady bits tracking)
Blogger (you can blog from it! not that I've been doing it)
G-Whiz (for google reader)
Twitter
Facebook
pinterest
Zip list
Nike+
Shazam (don't know the name of the song on the radio, it will tell you!)
Netflix

I was a hardcore BB fan until mine died. I grudgingly went to the 4s and now I love it. No the typing sucks all the time, but you get used to it sucking ;)

My must have apps;
PicFrame
Instagram
Buy me a pie (grocery list)
SparkPeople
P Tracker
Flixster
Yelp
EWG (Environmental working group)
Then of course the usual weather/banking

Enjoy your new toy!

My favorite app for running is Map my Run. Also I agree with most of the others and would add Pandora Radio.

I'm still BB all the way and until iphone comes out with a keypad I'm not budging. We've had androids and I've tried them out, plus we have ipads...I hate hate hate the typing and usually end up giving up what I'm typing because I get so frustrated. Nope. Not for me. I'm not sure we can be friends anymore. :)

Yellow Pages
Songza (my new obsession, creates playlists based on time of day/state of mind)
Dilbert
