Why do you prefer (or not prefer) your BlackBerry over a Apple iPhone?
- Ha! Not trying to offend, just pointing out the comedy in that statement.
I would take this bet.
Despite how you word it, this is a matter of opinion. I do not "know" that the iPhone is easier to use than my BB and I guarantee alot of people agree with me here.
I have no problem with an iPhone, I like them alot actually. If I had the money, I'd have an iPhone and a BB (probably a Droid and Nexus too)
The only reasons I chose a Tour over an iPhone are-
1. My carrier, Cellular South. Cannot beat their Smartphone plan price.
2. Familiarity. I'm used to BB's now
3. Ease of use (IMO) Not that they're any easier to use than an iPhone, it's just debatable.
4. Full QWERTY
5. Physical design. If I had an iPhone, I would break it.03-10-10 11:52 AMLike 0 - I had to jump in here and respond to each of these unfounded comments.
in closing several things prevent me personally from owning a iPhone
1) physical keyboard - no iPhone will EVER have that
The virtual keyboard is better anyway, since it can tailor itself to the current way it's being used.
2) it's a apple product, you pay for a BMW and get a Ford
This makes no sense. You pay for the best hardware, you get the best hardware. Show me a BB that has an oleophobic glass screen, compass, or accelerometer.
3) i have no use for 9.2 million applications that will not benefit my life in one way / shape / fashion or form
You would if you could.
4) fanbois - i refuse to be an apple fanboi, and before you thrown me under the "RIM fanboi status" i've used Android, WinMo and RIM fits me the best, and they are still middle of the road as far as i am worried
It's up to you whether you become a "fanboi" - I have an iPhone and a BB and am a "fanboi" for neither.
5) touch screen phones = pure junk
This is a moronic statement.
6) why do i want a phone that will sync with itunes for .99 cents a song when i can listen to all the slacker i want for free?
Becuase it's nice to actually have your own music library.
7) the DPI on my 9700 is alot higher than a iphone
Who cares, the screen is 2.5 inches.

1) i've own pure touch screens and dual input phones (touch screens/keyboard) and i cannot stand to use a touch screen. (HTC Touch Diamond, HTC Dual Touch, Blackberry Storm, Moto Cliq)
2) apple do not use the best hard ware.... the Android Nexus1 blows the iphone out of the water on every HW point
3) no i wouldn't my life is way to busy to figure out what app to use at what point in time, and where it is on my stupid phone
4) 9/10 people who post on blogs or forums are pure fanbois
5) not moronic - it's call personal opinion
6) i don't need a music library i hate listening to the same songs over and over, #1 reason i do not listen to FM radio
7) i care, and thats all that matters to ME when it comes to MY phone.

03-10-10 11:54 AMLike 0 - in the statement you chose which you took word for word, you clearly made my point valid. The iPhone in my opinion deletes the generation gap, that the blackberry does not. as far as the roadmap the iphone doesnt need one thats all, if you felt i said the blackberry does then im sorry but i havent seen a blackberry sold that didn't come with a pamphlet, i have nothing against the blackberry im just saying the iphone is easier to firgure out and manuaver around for the average person buying a smartphone.

- no no its cool. Dude i like the Blackberry, I just don't like people crushing on my i-Toy thats all. The arguments i have on here always start out civil with one person bith recognizing the faults of both platforms and then 2, 3 , and 4 people come in name calling iphone this iphone that you be quit with your toy, and then i start up as well. its a good stress reliever though lol. But no im not Blackberry browser basher we all have our faults.03-10-10 12:24 PMLike 0

- I figure once the name calling starts, you can casually mention the Storm...
Thatll stop 'em dead in their tracks.03-10-10 12:27 PMLike 0 - I personally started using my iPhone over my Bold because it was more fun to use. Honestly, life's too short, you should have fun with even the most simplest of things.03-10-10 12:34 PMLike 0
- I switched to a Storm a while ago. I loved this phone. But to me, it's still no where near as advanced as it should be. Neither are the new BB's RIMs coming up with... Screw the email. I'll use my computer and be happy. Give us some upgrades. They've got a few months to come up with something worthy of my money, or I'll be over to Apple for my phone too I already swtiched computers03-10-10 12:49 PMLike 0
