Why choose Blackberry over Iphone?

- Reed McLayRetired ModeratorSimple, an iPhone is optimized for entertainment, BlackBerry has been optimized for communications.
If you depend on communications to earn a living, choose a BlackBerry.06-22-11 01:37 PMLike 3 - Keyboard; BBM; Email; the BBM Logo is better than the apple's logo too!Ferretling and thecoach1999 like this.06-22-11 01:59 PMLike 2
- As said above, if it is for entertainment get an iphone. I also like the keyboard on the BB. I had an iphone 3gs but then got a torch. The 3gs is a great phone but I like using a keyboard. Far more and better apps on the iphone.

- As some already stated it's all about personal preference. I agree with Reed

I've tried an iphone for awhile and it was fun for entertainment. Hands down iPhone rules over BB for entertainment. I've tried to adapt to the touchscreen when sending out work emails, but IMO it was just cumbersome. QKB is what does it for me when it comes typing hands down.
Alot of consumers just doesn't do their own due diligence of what will suit them. Instead they follow what's trendy.06-22-11 03:19 PMLike 0 - the keyboard was the deciding factor for me, then after using it, the battery life, the multiple emails acciunts, bes, bbm, the data compression, os6, drm free music.
after using a playbook for almost two months i can say that i prefer keyboards to touchscreen, i hate having to look at what i type.
the upcoming os7 and later qnx, higher specs are showing that rim is improving their phknes in the right direction06-22-11 03:29 PMLike 0 - I also like the free data sharing on my BB without paying an extra monthly fee when I tether it to my laptop via Tether app and Bridge it to my tablet, the Playbook.
Very practical and cost effective for me, I refuse to buy an air card for the laptop, buy a separate 3G plan for a tablet or "jailbreak" or "root" a phone just to circumvent these extra costs. My BB Torch does it all without tampering with the phone, all while having a pretty solid QWERTY keyboard, strong battery life, and a respectable browser (great browser by BB standards)
Sorry, but I have not figured out how to do those things on other phones without risking voiding the warranty or potentially damaging the phones...06-22-11 03:32 PMLike 0 - For me I love blackberry Because..
Yea Blackberry still working around the low Network Coverage Because They has Own Server, I have my iphone, then when The signal Coverage getting low I cant send any msg, or even tweeting by iphone,
Simple Qwerty, Physic keyboard is always Great..
Free text like BBM, We dont have it for iphone
few email account, so I can Joined in any mailing list06-22-11 06:07 PMLike 0 - I have been saying this for years. I believe closed mindedness and lack of maturity play a role in blind brand loyalty. "Iphones sucks!" "Okay why does they suck?" "Because!" "Have you ever used an iphone?" "No!" "WTF!" Same goes with iphone users who have never used a blackberry. These are opinions (IMO) mostly based on what they read and what other people tell them. And i apologize in advance for poor my use of proper punctuation.06-23-11 10:39 AMLike 0
- I don't get the 'entertainment = iPhone' and 'business/communication = blackberry' thing. You can do both on both devices.
I do agree with the fact that it comes down to personal preference. For me it comes down to what I want/need at the moment. At this moment I have an iPhone 4. I wouldn't go back to any of the blackberries out right now. I might try the bold touch if it comes to VZW. But as of what's out right now I like the iPhone 4. I use it for work and personal use.

Maybe BES users may have an argument there, but as a consumer user on BIS I don't get it either save for the keyboard preference (not relevant for the non keyboard BB's).06-23-11 12:58 PMLike 0

The iPhone does messaging & other communications just fine. And it does some other things better. It all comes down to preference and which device works best for YOU.MissJennell#IM likes this.06-23-11 05:15 PMLike 1
