New Video: Bold 9900 vs. IPhone4 Browser Battle ;)

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com07-21-11 11:01 AMLike 0 - Crucial_XtremeRetired ModeratorIt looks to me that Wifi is on on the iPhone 4, but it doesn't have any signal. Mine shows up bright blue for the wifi reception bars. Also, what firmware is the iPhone using? Does it have the latest where it's utilizing the Nitro Javascript Engine?
From all tests I've done personally, the iPhone 4 is a little bit quicker than the 9900. But not by much at all. And could very well be just as fast with final firmware. This is a huge step up for current BlackBerry users. Will it be as fast as the new iPhone? Probably not. Who knows? Point is I don't have to have the fastest mobile browser on earth. I just need one of good quality & one that possess fairly good speed. Of which the 9900 has therefore I'm extremely happy with the progress made from OS6.UrbanGlowCam and purijagmohan like this.07-21-11 11:22 AMLike 2 - It's true, many industries are better suited to the iphone(advertising, graphic design etc) but doesn't change the fact that it's a consumer product adapted for the profession, Blackberry is the other way around. Conpanies don't really give out iphones, they allow you to bring your own and use it with the company's email or other programs.

I dare you to search for "weather" in appmarket.

There is absolutely no problem in being given multiple alternatives. 99% of the time you'll know exactly what app you're looking for, and even when you don't, the most popular and plausible answer for your search is very easy to find.
There would not be any problems if the App Store had three times the amount of apps it has now.07-21-11 12:32 PMLike 0 - I personally haven't seen a larger company hand out iPhones to the grunts. I'll say this though, where Rim made a huge mistake is in underestimating companies allowing employee's to use there own device.07-21-11 12:54 PMLike 0
- indeed, the vast majority of fortune 500 companies are allowing if not promoting the use of iphone/android inside of their companies.07-21-11 12:58 PMLike 0
- This isn't seriously your argument, is it?

- Crucial_XtremeRetired ModeratorEasily. You have basically two sections. Top Paid & Top Free which consist of the most popular(downloaded) applications all of which are accompanied by a 5 star rating system & reviews for you to browse through as well as screenshots of the application. Pretty simple really. If it's a Top Paid app obviously lots of people are buying it. If there is 4-5 stars, well that's just another indication of its worth. Then you have the reviews and people generally speak their mind. I then look at the screenshots & see if it's visually appealing. Not hard at all. )07-21-11 01:14 PMLike 0

07-21-11 01:37 PMLike 0 - So you have to base your purchase on other people's opinion? I asked how do you sort trough them, how do you know the one lower down the list doesn't have what you need? How do you know somebody didn't leave them bad reviews on purpose? Really, once it went past 100 weather apps they should've stopped and force the developers to innovate, not keep multiplying the same app.

How do you know someone didn't leave a bad recommendation in App World? You don't. Same as the App Store.07-21-11 01:46 PMLike 0 - The preloaded weather app works fine, if I disliked it I would wait for iOS 5 in which case I would definitely like it. Just to humor your question, however, I would search whatever I think would yield the best results for what I'm looking for first, then I would browse the highest rated one, or see which one would best suit my needs. It's quite simple really; just because there are a lot of offerings from the App Store doesn't mean it's a bad thing; it takes more than a few options on a phone to overwhelm me.

Even windows phone 7 controls the number and quality of apps using the platform.Last edited by daveycrocket; 07-21-11 at 02:11 PM.

Many apps exist for the iphone because the supposedly superior browser can't cope.
There's an iphone app for UTV | Northern Ireland News, NI Sport News, Northern Ireland Weather forecast - News in NI, UTV Live, Watch TV online u.tv, Ulster Television but BB doesn't need one, the browser works just fine. Try it on an iphone.

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com07-21-11 03:37 PMLike 0 - The point is why limit anything? You have no answer to this because there would never be a beneficial reason to limit development. Right now you don't have a huge app selection so you claim you don't need it. People said this about mms on iPhone then the day it came out so many used it it crashed the system. People here said they didn't want touchscreens, cameras, media, threaded texting, until they got it. I'm sorry but suggesting that anyone stifle development of apps at this point would be the nail in the coffin for rim. They need apps more than anything single other thing

I'm not a huge apps person either but as I've used iOS and actually had quality applications to install I've found myself with more and more. There really is a huge difference in the quality of applications. I could go on but it suffices to say I know many BB users that wish they had some of the same apps I use for the BB platform.07-21-11 04:18 PMLike 0 - If we don't limit development we may all drown in a commercialised soup which has greed at it's core. Maybe there is a bigger picture.
