Which is Better, iPhone or Blackberry?

Without a proper knowledge of the thing we want to buy, oftentimes, we ended up buying the better, but not the right thing.
If you want to find out which is better, iPhone or Blackberry, then below is the summary of the comments from those people who have a good experience to at least one of it.

One guy said, “iPhone is nothing more than a nonsense since it lacks even the basic features. Blackberry is also over priced useless device which is only meant for emailing nothing more.” He suggested that “if you are a professional go for a Blackberry ignoring its ridiculous price, not as ridiculous as iphone though.”

Another guy had totally disagreed the above comments and gave his own by providing one of the very many uses of iPhone as follows: “Say you want to ring a store - on the iPone you can look up their internet site, if that contains their telephone number you just tap it with your finger. The phone asks you if you want to ring that number and then will do that for you automatically.”

A lady, an initiator of this topic conversations said that she had both and found the iPhone really easy to use for almost everything. However, she also said “It's not great for email management when you have hundreds of emails to sort, but it is great for moderate email use. Battery is terrible though! ...I still love my iPhone though!”

The second guy made a second comment saying that he loves iPhone, too. He further said “My battery is fine at home, but train trips to London and back (2hrs each way) seem to use quite a lot of battery - I guess that it may be because it is searching for networks for quite a lot of that time.”

A third guy, who doesn’t have an iPhone, but have been looking into it as well as the Droid, gave his opinion saying, “the Blackberry is getting passed by very quickly. It is still hands down the best for email, but business these days is much more than email. They don't have many apps, I have to pull out the battery to reboot several times a day, the browser is pretty much non-existent, and you have to have a BES if you want to sync to your Exchange server. It has become too costly and way behind the times.”

A fourth guy said “Blackberry remains the best choice for email and ranks superior for phone reliability. Granted, iPhone dazzles with more applications and some are actually useful for long-term use, rather a once or twice novelty. He said further “my Blackberry offers the same search features for businesses, etc. and automatic dialing. I hit the track ball, however, rather than using a touch screen.

Interestingly, cell phone use for actual voice calls (what a concept) trails data usage 49 percent to 37 percent according to a recent study. Mobile internet use caused a dramatic shift in consumers "need" to have constant connection.

Since email management and reliable phone service rank high with me, I'll stick with my Blackberry until something beats it.”

The fifth and the last guy said “I have had a Blackberry, then an iPhone and now a Droid, Blackberry was far better for business related applications and uses, My IPhone was not as business friendly and drop calls all the time with a very short battery life. I have only had the droid for a little over a week and am still getting used to it but I do have some pros and cons on it already. So it comes down to what you are looking for.”

And my comment is, when it comes to battery life, “More applications mean more power consumption. So, don't wonder why battery life is very short.”

But if you look at the summary of the Smart Phones Comparisons from Anything For Your Convenience, you will also find the good insight for this topic which had undergone an extensive research by the Digital Trend.

With all the information and backgrounds above, hope you can now decide which smart phone you are going to consider buying: iPhones or Blackberry.

Good luck!
