Evolution of iPhone vs. BlackBerry Bold
- Here is a comparison I put together of how these two devices have evolved from their introduction to today.

grover5 and _StephenBB81 like this.07-27-11 03:54 PMLike 2 - missed 9650.
but it's a good comparison that it HAS changed and that everyone needs to stfu about how it's the same rehashed thing.07-27-11 03:57 PMLike 0 - not to much change for either if you look at just those shots. but i know the phone 4 is really quite different on the outside from its 1st gen. I am sure the new Bold is quite a bit more refined and feels great in the hand too compared to some of its predecessors.
Both have had major changes under the hood and quite substantial gains on the OS side too though even with the same basic home screens since launch07-27-11 03:59 PMLike 0 - The 9700 and 9780 are basically the same phone and the 9900 is not shipping (when it does it will compete with the iPhone5 not iPhone 4).kevinnugent and Charlieo132 like this.07-27-11 04:06 PMLike 2
- I didn't mean to post them as if they were competing against the model lined up vertically. I just meant to show how it evolved. I guess I should include the 9650. Its just that it was really a tour before the name change. I should post different angle comparisons too if it helps.

Like howarmat said, I think there is more to different angles like the side since a lot of the changes on both sides were due to weight trimming. I think we can all agree they've each evolved for the better each time. 9700/9780 are basically the same though. Iphone 3G/3GS look similar too.

RIM Fell behind on the trend of Apps, Social Media, and Internet significantly for staying a bit too focused on Corporate and World market expansion while Apple rode the success of the Ipod which really had no competition and Android grew religiously due to the nature of open source.Dapper37 likes this.07-28-11 12:33 AMLike 1 - Sorry, but the phones all look so very similar to their proceeding relative. While I will not argue that the hardware advancements between revisions of iPhone have been better than the BlackbBerry, please don't try tell me the majority of consumers know the difference between 624/1g processors little on care about it more than "newer is better".

Im going to russia next month. There are a dozen travelgids available for offline download on iphone. Just what i need. And what can i do with my blackberry now?07-28-11 01:10 AMLike 0 - I agree completely. It is more about software than hardware. For example, nfc in bold 9900. Means nothing id you dont have apps making use of it.

The bigger problem is RIM is not offering new phones to people who now have an upgrade available to them. I am using a 9700 on AT&T and can now upgrade to another device on AT&T. Currently there is no replacement for the 9700 on AT&T.07-29-11 11:38 AMLike 0 - Why off line? Blackberry data compression allows you to stay online while roaming with very little extra charges. That's the beauty of BIS. My wife has managed a week in New York on just 1.6mb of roaming data while constantly BBMing, sending some photos and voice notes, and a few facebook updates.07-29-11 11:44 AMLike 0

Personally I like my to put my phone in my pocket, get on a plane, land in a different country, take my phone out and use it just as in my own country, I don't want to reduce it to a dumb phone or paperweight.

and Apple Shipped 3
the Difference between the 9700 and the 9780 is similar to that difference between the iPhone 3G and the 3GS
and it is VERY much understood RIM's issue is lack of new device launches and that is what is hurting them, RIM needs a yearly development cycle for flagship phones, not a 2/3 year development cycleExiled Bulldawg likes this.07-31-11 08:37 AMLike 1 - RIM shipped 2

I rely like it when someone is clear on this matter.07-31-11 10:49 AMLike 0 - They can probably see the performance difference.

I'm aware that the spec bump from the 3G to 3GS is much more significant than 9700->9780 (which used the same CPU), and led to notable speed increases in normal phone function.07-31-11 11:01 AMLike 0
