I just sent him a txt but he isn't a huge sports fan so he may not know.

[ohhh my]

I'm a loyal BB fan, but your argument of the BB sending/receiving messages 'faster' is a joke. If it is faster, it's no more than a few seconds, if not a minute. Not really a good argument.

With regards to battery life, the BB does have the ability to swap out batteries and ultimately have an indefinate power capacity, but without swapping batteries, iphone4 and 4s are just as capable of lasting a full day like a BB

Its not so much that the bberry sends messages faster.. But more efficiently. And the gui is far easier and less inflated with Apple bs than the bbos.

In regards to battery life: it can't be a mistake that my entire off of engineers, all of which have very similar usage, are recharging their iphones long before I recharge my bberry. , its nearly 215 here now and I'm sitting at 75% battery life left

Seriously, go hang out at tipb. You'll feel right at home there.

dont get me wrong , i love BB (but not 99xx, if theres anyway i can exchange it with 9790 or sell without so much loss, I'll be 1st on the line).
I'm only stating that because you weren't fair, comparing an iphone with bb+playbook. you've brought it first. as for 3g, i'm using multisim card. 3 cards with the same number. and i have 1GB data (so far its enough). bridging to playbook is free?? its the same as if you use it on your bb, only its bridge to your playbook, so its not 'free' and still using your data plan from your bb.

As far as battery draining... my 9900 is 4g... my coworkers have both 3g iphone 4 and 4g iphone 4, and my 9900 is always lasting longer. ALWAYS. When I go to their desks, most of them have their phones plugged in because they died already.

ask them what did they do on their iphone (and there's must be lots of active apps notificaton on notif center). probably watching sport? if its only texting, mail and basic use of phone like you did on your bb, i'm sure its the same.

Second, I can *efficiently* send/recieve email/messages withing killing my battery.

Thirdly, I can last an entire day from 7:30am until 4pm after work.. then I go to night school until 9pm. Then I go home for another 1-2hours. And very very rarely do I ever recharge. If I do recharge, it's just to play it safe and give me more juice, not so much that I *have* to recharge. My buddies leave work at 5pm with 10-18% battery, or a DEAD battery. Never once do I charge during the day.. often times using gps for half an hour at a time to help in travels. Oh did I mention that I never disable 4g or wifi? Constant calls, emails, texts, internet, gps etc?

Lets face it. An iphone is a clunky, fisher-price looking playtoy that looks terribly unprofessional sitting on a multi-million (sometimes billion..) dollar corporations CEO's desk... which is why 90% of the time, they are sitting with blackberry's.

i'm sure you've heard the term jailbreaked iphone?
i never find a case that send/recieve email/messages killing my battery. games and other apps yes (theres no kind of app that doesnt eat battery). to be fair, 99xx will also lost lots its juice if running many apps + play some games.
lets not forget that this is the case for 99xx. the juice on 9700 and 9810 was great. i agree to that. and i regret selling it and getting 9900 (being a bb fan i am..). besides, the battery juice is more on physical area and not in this area : what cant it do. dont forget my previous post, what business cant iphone do? and if you said your 99xx manage to do all you said about the battery with your usage above, i can not believe it unless i see any cap screen of the log. and the thing that annoys me is that i have to play it save, i'm starting to get OCD for my 9900. so far i never let the battery low and wont leave it charging overnight.

iphone might be clunky for some people (subjective) but definitely not only a playtoy. playtoy is an added bonus. in iOS theres always an app for (almost) anything, regardless if you need it or not, there are some people that need it.

With that being said, he said that crimes committed on blackberries can NOT, and he emphasizes, can NOT, be proven or tracked. Blackberries are the MOST secure phones he's ever dealt with... and he's an iphone lover! He had either an iphone 3 or 4 (dont remember) and used to say every single day how he hates it and loves blackberries and how he's making a move to blackberry after his iphone is done.

He says doing data acquisitions on iphones is a piece of cake

the problem is nobody care enough hijacking a bb, if somebody willing to so, look at dingleberry... its doable.
