I'm sure everyone has seen this video comparing the Iphone with the blackberry's and if you haven't here's the link. https://www.tdsresearch.com/equities...1-7e5d5cac7109

I'm just want to see what everyone thinks about this.
I'm thinking why does he want the blackberry to look or act like the iphone!!

I think the guy actually brings up some good points. With the recent boom of non-business users on BBs, RIM does have to start working on modernizing its OS a bit with all the tiny little things said in the video.

RIM is coming from the direction of efficiency, reliability, and security, which is what the company was born into. When RIM first came out, business users could care less about a flashy OS. They just wanted the device to show them their e-mail all the time, every time. And that's what RIM delivered.

Apple, on the other hand, was born into the multimedia world, so they could make their OS flashy. They already had a working snazzy OS, so they just shrunk all the features and stuck it into a phone form.

As the video shows, RIM's OS has its downfalls (being too text-based, the biggest one). The iPhone OS has the opposite downfall in that it's full of security holes (Google iPhone security and see how many times its needed to be patched for something) and has yet to match the communications delivery abilities of RIM.

Two companies born in polar opposites running head-long into each other is what's happening now. Within a few years, everything will settle. RIM will have a more modern OS and Apple will have better security. Then we'll wait for the whole cycle to start over again once another company creates a better smartphone.

I some what agree. But I like the way the phone is no complaints what so ever, but if they do make the UI a little nicer I would probably like it more. I still say RIM makes one **** of a phone. I was actually thinking of buying stock with them. I like the text based style a lot easier to work with and actually have fun with playing with the phone as in installing and deleting OS's. I played with the Iphone my sister had one didn't like it much.

I don't really see apple being campatable that much to anything.

Sorry about the spelling and grammar really tired.

Just as I was telling my girl today. Unless RIM does a revamp I'm going to go back to Winmo with my new every two.

I mean I just got my BB in March and cookie cutter OS's make me...

It looks like WinMo is coming along, but the Pre will be on Verizon by the end of the year.

a great example of cookie cutter OS is the Iphone OS. One of the problems is that the Icookies dont have enough chocolate chips in them.

Actually cookie cutter is RIM slapping the same OS on every phone acting like they do something different. They keep releasing the same device and you're probably drinking the koolaid and all hyped like you're getting something new. I don't care if you're getting Vista in Dell or in a Sony, it's still Vista.

I don't mind if the Blackberry OS looks the same, I just want them to move past antiquated technology like WAP and MDS under the hood, and catch up to 2007.

and apple has been using the same OS on the god phone since it first came out. Just like RIM does with BB's. They tweak something when the new version came out and blam 3.0 is born. If anything the god phone has been using the same cookie cutter OS since it first came out.
