Iphone vs Blackberry

[Alkaz]

iPhones really so far have been quiet poor, they was hyped up so much and when people actually got them they were total rubbish and the two models since havnt been brilliant either. Makes me lol how people just say iphone and have never properly experienced a blackberry.

This feels like a Vista and OS X debate but for mobiles.

I've just ordered my BlackBerry today and it is on its way to me and I have an iPod Touch.

To be honest if you like eye candy, music, pictures and videos, iPhone
If you like functionality and more business like functions, BlackBerry

The Blackberry OS lacks certain functionality which the iPhone has. The iPhone vs Blackberry OS comparison shouldn't of even have been posted because it's common sense. iPhone OS wins in videos, music, gaming, web browsing, third party dev apps. The only thing the blackberry has over the iPhone is PIN messaging, which not many owners know about, because like most "features" in the OS due to the makemyeyesbleed UI you can't find it. And then you buy a new blackberry with a "BRAND NEW" and revised UI, and they've moved everything around and made everything more laggy, and then the blackberry after that's gonna' have another new UI because their old BRAND NEW UI still sucked.

If they've been total rubbish why have they completely changed the mobile device industry. In 5 years I wont even be calling my phone a phone anymore, because Apple got the wheels turning with the iPhone. Before Apple came along smartphones sucked. Windows Mobile, Palm OS and blackberry all failed miserably with their horrible touch support, small screen limitations, fail software, not even threaded SMS. Don't even get me started on bad web browsing was. Complete and utter joke. And I'm not an iPhone guy, I'm a G1 Android user. You could have been comparing the Blackberry to Windows Mobile and I would have said winmo wins. To me comparing the Blackberry to any other device is just like comparing advil with tylenol. You just don't.

i started with an iphone (first generation) then all the girls i know had blackberrys and they said get one and use the blackberry chat, so i bought the curve and it was going well but i got bored of it easily and now i'm back to the iphone 3g. but i think once you've had a iphone you can't go back!

I know one or two people who have an iPhone and about 7 or 8 who have BlackBerrys but I still like the look of the iPhone a lot more . I never like spending a lot of money on things lots of other people (who I know) have anyway.

I have an iphone myself and ive had it since March 09 and tbh im getting bored off it, my contract runs out in september and i cant wait. I love the phone to bits but im getting bored now. Alot of my friends have blackberrys and i've been on them messing around and i really like them. I wouldnt wanna say which one is better because i think their both the same, about the money anyway, if you have it on contract, im sure with blackberry you dont get unlimited internet? (someone correct me if im wrong) but you do with the iphone, i mean im on o2 and i know its unlimited on o2 and not too sure about tesco/orange but i surpose it matters what you use most.
