My sister is a GP & she loves her iPhone for the med applications. Word of warning--get the most memory you can afford because the medication cross-reference is a HUGE app that will suck you dry.

How would you know it's not true? I'm stating that I know of people personally who have had poor experiences with their blackberry's and me, having a positive experience with my iphone. So what? Who the shit are you to tell me what I know? I don't know what set off this little trolling episode of yours but get fucked.Comment

iPhone = Miata
Blackberry = R3V e30
You decide.Comment

IMHO, the iphone is a superior device on an inferior network.
Blackberry in my pocket, I'll take the device with "problems" (really just personal preference I guess) that always connects over the one that cant make calls...BEERTECH

Stating an educated opinion is not trolling. If he said anyone who buys a blackberry is a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles, then yea that's trolling. This isn't the case here.
On the contrary scabzzz, my sister is on he 4th storm. One of them was stolen, but the other two randomly broke. I have 2 friends with them, one is on his second, one on his third. The kid on his second cannot anserw calls anymore because the phone resets itself.
I also know an excess of 10 people with iPhones, I'm the only one who has broken one. I dropped it one too many times and cracked the screen. Phone still worked fine until about 2 weeks later when I dropped it in water.

for a consumer, iPhone hands down without a doubt. I have both. iPhone for personal use and BB for work email. iPhone can't come close to BB for sending hundreds of emails all day long and quickly. doing that on iPhone would drive me insane. But that's about all the BB is good at, all other functions (including phone), suck. iPhone has the apps and much better design as a consumer device. It's great for receiving email from multiple email addresses but responding is painful (you get used to it but bb is much faster). So to summarize iPhone FTW as a personal, consumer oriented device, BB for business until Apple figures out how to integrate a real keyboard.
btw, i've been using several generations of BB over the past 10 years and yes, you can break them, esp the new ones, i'm on my 3rd in as many years. iphone despite the fragile looks is probably just as solid as a BB. I'm on my 2nd iphone and I bought the 1st gen when it first came out.Comment

I get the notifications of new private messages @ r3v on my bb faster than my regular email, or on my computer. Just Sayin'.
One bb for me, no problems, even with my hacked OS installin'. Jus Sayin', again.Comment

Well I've owned both, currently on a Blackberry Curve 8900.
I don't have corporate e-mail, so for me they can both do the exact same thing the other one can.
Typing is great on both phones, in my opinion. However, typing a lot over the day (texting, to email, and back) is much easier on the blackberry. They blackberry just gets things done more quickly. All useful applications stay running so you can swap between them very easily and, with the keyboard, there are lots of shortcuts that make every function happen more quickly. Reply with R, compose with C, etc. The iPhone can't do this, and it has to open and close every app, so if I'm browsing the internet and get a text it takes a couple seconds, then if the text takes to long the browser has to reload the page.
So I say the Blackberry is EASILY more efficient.
They both browse the web, but the iPhone browser is far better. I'm not talking about speeds here, because I only have edge on t-mo so it's slow no matter what. With wifi coverage on the iPhone is WAY better. (on a side note, the bb with tmo can utilize wifi to make calls and send texts if you have low service) The browser on the BB gets the job done, but it's no where near as easy to use or clear to look at.
Browser goes to iPhone.
Apps... well in my opinion this is debatable. The blackberry has TONS of apps out there, in fact before the iPhone was even in existence people were downloading apps to their blackberrys. The thing is, you have to look for the apps and they aren't silly gimmicks. The apps out there are useful, often times cost money, and take more knowledge to download and use. The iPhone has the app store, with tons of AWESOME apps and tons of stupid apps to waste away your time. For the average person (read most people) the iPhone app system is far superior. (+1 to Apple for this invention)
App goes to iPhone I guess, but don't discount the BB.
For durability, I think the iPhone was awesome. In general, apple products are built very well in my opinion. They always seem very solid, and they don't squeak, bend, or get old after use. This holds for the iPhone, as long as you don't drop it onto a very hard surface, then you can crack the screen. I have dropped my curve and iPhone, both still worked fine. The blackberry feels old though, and it's only been 4 months. The iPhone was scratched up, and the vibrate switch stopped working... but the overall phone still felt like it was worth the 100s someone originally paid for it years before. My blackberry just feels like a hunk of plastic that is dusty and rattly, still works like new though.
Eh... this is just my opinion. Both great phones, and if you're like me and kind of a tech nerd then you'll really have to own both.
Sidenotes: discount everything I said for the storm. I hate that phone... it's terrible. Also, the 3Gs is quite a bit faster in every way, so efficiency definitely steps up there.Originally posted by z31maniacComment

blackberry storm 9530 with Verizon and a few mods.

business card cut in half? What behind the screen? My sister's moves laterally. You can shake the phone and hear the shake around. By shake the phone I mean same amount of movement it would get in a pocket at a jog.

No, to improve screen "click, a small post-it note, or card is inserted between the bottom of the battery slot and the battery. It tightens things up. I didn't know about this screw mod, what is it?Comment

I personally like email on my iphone, minus then the lack of tasks I don't find it missing anything I'd need that blackberry has. Plus I don't need to run a BES server which I prefer if I can get away with it.
I have nothing against crackberries, I just don't really care for them as a phone.
The Iphone works very well as a business device now, and I have every app I could possibly need to connect to every work related function I need.
It was a toy, now it works as much more.
