Deathmatch: BlackBerry versus iPhone

PH3N0M · May 26, 2009, 12:33 PM

Look at any major analyst firm report since the Apple iPhone was released, and you'll see the earnest intoning to stick with the buttoned-down and pinstriped BlackBerry -- widely admired in executive corridors for its safety and security -- and beware that odd, colorful, possibly dangerous Apple device that consumers may love but professionals should avoid. If the iPhone were meant for work, it wouldn't be so much fun to use, would it?

mmmmm what a choice, Blackberry or iphone, iphone or blackberry. Tried them both and decided on............Nokia E71, much much better than both with countless applications that i've suprised myself by using. No regrets at all.

A guy I know has it. One day, on a break between lectures, a female coed saw it and asked him "Why are you carrying a calculator?" When he explained that it was in fact a mobile phone, she, still slightly confused, said something like "Oh... It's so ugly!" True story.

P.S. I think that it's a really neat device

, but every time I see it, it reminds me of what I just wrote.

I scrapped it all and went from my HTC tilt to an unlocked G1. The problem with the iPhone is how bound you are with all that imposed ATT garbage
