BlackBerry vs. iPhone
Posted on | June 23, 2008 |
I own a BlackBerry Pearl. Believe it or not, it was my first-ever cell phone. I kind of hate talking on the phone, so it really took a smartphone to get me to buy one. The push e-mail, Web access, and applets are the thing I really wanted, not the phone.
So, I’ve had the BlackBerry about a year-and-a-half, and when the iPhone came out I was certainly intrigued. On a recent trip to England, I had time to go into an Apple store in London and got a chance to piddle around with the iPhone a bit.
It seems like the BlackBerry is a digital swiss army knife: does a lot of little things well and will really get you out of a tight spot. And definitely something you want to have on you when you’re out-and-about. The iPhone, however, seems like a real mobile computer. More of a computer than a phone.
I was really impressed with it’s capabilities, and now that the 3G version is coming out with enterprise capabilities, and a price drop, I think that when my BlackBerry contract comes due in February, I’ll be moving up to an iPhone.
