BlackBerry Bold if you're more serious and like a reliable phone that can do everything you need, iPhone if you're into games and, well, useless apps. I have the BB Bold and I can only reccomend it, the screen is smaller but the resolution is actually better than the iPhone's. BlackBerry also has the BB Messenger "killer app" which allows you to chat with your other BB friends for free, quickly and easily.
The Bold has a great camera with flash and video recording options, which the iPhone only just added now, the same goes with the copy paste function with which the iPhone was lagging behind light years. The Bold also allows you to upload music and videos onto your phone and since you can buy memory cards for the BlackBerry the storage you have is actually unlimited unlike the iPhone which does not allow any memory upgrade. Personally I think the iPhone is a toy and the Bold is a propper phone for adults.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
