The Difference Between IPhone and Blackberry Phones

If you would ask me which one i prefer, i should say Blackberry

  1. The looks
    In terms of design both devices look amazing and can steal a glance. The design of the iPhone was definitely something that took Cell-phone design into a different level nevertheless the last Blackberries if compared to the old ones are extremely stylish. However if we had to give the price for the best looks then it would go to the elegant and sexy looking iPhone, but again this comes down to the matter of personal taste.

  2. Email Service
    And the Oscar goes to the Blackberry. Due to the fact that a Blackberry is connected to the Microsoft Exchange server which allows the device download an email instantly on the phone plus it has an LED informing you that your new email has arrived this phones consider the best in this area. On the contrary it takes at least 15 minutes for an iPhone to recognize a new email and you should be checking all the time if you have a new email.

     
  3. Typing-Writing
    In this case you would be looking at a virtual keyboard on the iPhone and a full QWERTY keyboard on a Blackberry (apart from the Storm model). The Blackberry will give you the feeling of using your computers keyboard which for some it is a convenience instead of having to learn how to type on a virtual keyboard. In this case we leave it to you as it depends on what kind of use you need your phone for. 

  4. Entertainment – Multimedia
    The iPhone was mainly developed for this purpose. To you give you excellent video, music and image handling entertainment. There is just a single point that Blackberry stands ahead and that is the quality of its camera nevertheless in respect of multimedia abilities iPhone is considered better one.

  5. User Friendly
    Both devices have their advantages in terms of usability. When you first place you hands on an iPhone you might find it a bit strange to operate it due to its full touch-screen design. However after sometime you find it an enjoyable game-style experience. About the Blackberry it has the ability of doing things quicker as it is full of shortcut keys. So again we leave this one to you.                                                 

In addition to these major drawbacks of the iPhone, our venture capitalist cites the following as reasons to prefer the BlackBerry:
  • The BlackBerry 8800 possesses GPS, which makes Google Maps much more useful, especially for turn-by-turn directions
  • The iPhone lacks basic cut and paste capabilities
  • Despite Apple’s reputation for superior user interface design, the BlackBerry possesses keyboard shortcuts that make navigation around and between applications a breeze
  • The BlackBerry’s phone quality is better than the iPhone’s
  • The Safari browser is certainly more stunning than the BlackBerry’s primitive browser, but the iPhone seems to load even text-only pages more slowly than the BlackBerry over the EDGE network
  • The BlackBerry possesses a general contacts application that makes contacting people by any given method more convenient
  • The battery runs out faster on the iPhone simply because it is used for more tasks. This makes it less reliable for when one must take the device somewhere overnight without the opportunity to recharge.
Despite all of these criticisms of the iPhone, our venture capitalist admits that he would switch over to the iPhone if only it supported push email, calendar and contacts synchronization, and GPS. For him, the prospect of ridding his pockets of a separate device for music (an iPod nano), as well as enjoying all of the iPhone’s slick features (such as full-featured web browsing, stocks and weather apps, and its YouTube program), makes the iPhone very tempting. However, until Apple resolves these shortcomings (and perhaps Google makes its applications, especially Gmail, work as seamlessly with the iPhone as Microsoft makes Exchange work with the BlackBerry), others are going to have to pry his BlackBerry from his cold, dead hands (his words, mind you, not ours).
