Thread: Choices...

Plain and simple. iPhone or Blackberry?

Which do you think is better.

No Droid?

What's your use? Is it a personal phone or something that you'll be working from as well?

never thought of the driod.

But it would be for both, business and pleasure

If you asked this question two years ago, I would have said Blackberry without a doubt. Now, I will say Iphone without a doubt.

I have an android phone and I have used the new iphone and to me, no matter what people say, the Iphone is just smoother and more efficient. That is my opinion of course.

I think you should consider an adroid phone. Blackberry's are good devices, I considered one but I think they are a little behind the curve. Lots of people seem to be getting them at the moment - presumably a cost thing, the cheaper one is pretty cheap.

I was looking for a new phone about 6 weeks a go and after a lot of coming and going I ended up with the HTC Desire. At the time I felt it was better than the similarly priced 3gs, I couldn't afford an iPhone 4, and the best Blackberry didn't seem to offer anything extra but cost more. After 6 weeks, there is NO WAY I would trade it in for an iPhone 4. It's such a great phone.

HTC does an android interface called HTC Sense, the reviews suggest it makes a big difference to the feel of android.

Efficient is relative.

Do you prefer full screen touch display, or a smaller screen with full keyboard? Are you staying with your current provider or are you going to choose a provider based on phone?

They're all amazing devices. Personally, I'd go with Droid or BB, but I'm a PC and admittedly biased against Apple.

O, I also have a bunch of apple products (an iMac, Macbook pro, ipods etc) and to be honest, you can sync everything very easily with android. It never crossed my mind to stay with apple because of brand loyalty. I like my apple computers because of the full package, I think it's superior to windows machines. I don't think that follows through to the phones in the same way.

If you are using for work or in an environment where secrecy is a must then Blackberry for its encryption. Other than than that I love my 3Gs iphone and i have family with the ios4 who are just as happy. I too have an iMac and its the "cats meow"

Its got to be the iPhone. You can do work stuff on it, the browser is better than a Blackberry and its UI is much cooler.

I've had both an iPhone and a Blackberry and I prefer the iPhone by miles. I've not used the adroid though.

I have and use all three. I feel that the iphone has lent itself more towards the toy market and has disfunctional hardware.
IMHO the droid is a little more toy than a BB, but the firmware is superior in many aspects to the other two.
I carry my BB the most. It has superior physical strength to the iphone therefore it fairs better in my shop. It is more business based and as someone already mentioned it does have great encryption. My problems are with the browser, it doesn't seem to like the more frivolous pages.
So, if I had to choose for myself only one of the three I would go with my BB, but this is for me. I also must add that they all load SRP fairly well.
