iPhone or Blackberry Bold?
« on: October 26, 2009, 01:54:52 PM »
And why? Buying either of these phones today and can't seem to come to a decision. Need some feedback to point me in the right direction.

Brain Cancer from either so why worry  :t :t :t    :old: :old: :old:    :bolt:
It's been said we have three brains, one cobbled on top of the next. The stem is first, the reptilian brain; then the mammalian cerebellum; finally the over developed cerebral cortex.  They don't work together in awfully good harmony - hence ax murders, mobs, and socialism.

From the technical side, Blackberry has more inherent security features for your high-use systems, email, browsing, legacy system connections but the iPhone is "prettier" and has more 3 rd party accommodations and is much more versatile.

In other words, if you want something that is reasonably secure...get the Blackberry.  If  you are not conducting business with your phone, grab an iPhone.  Next year, iPhone will let companies develop corp enterprise security protocols of their own using the source code back-end I believe so it will be as secure as enterprise Blackberry servers at that time...according to the info roll-out by Jobs a few weeks ago.

I will stick with my Blackberry Storm

Palm Pre. All the features of an iPhone, but better.

those old nokias were almost indestructible.  i knew a guy that sunk his phone in 20 feet of water, swam down and found it, cleaned all the mud out of it and it worked the next day.  :banana:

Get the HTC phone that is out I believe its called the Touch Pro but dont quote me on it.  It uses Mobile Windows and is better than iphone and having a touchscreen is better than the scrool wheel of the blackberrys.  

I myself have the AT&T tilt which is made by HTC and is the model that was sold before the Touch Pro or whatever it is called today.  Im dreading the day when my phone finally decided to cease functioning because in my opinion it is the perfect phone.  Between having touch screen, QWERTY keyboard, Mobile windows OS, and the ability to type up reports with Mobile Office and use the 1000s of third party software for the phone makes the phone nearly perfect.

That and the features of the windows phones is a lot better and all programs are free to download and install on the windows phones.  iPhone you have to pay for many of them.  Having a built in gps and you can download gps programs and some programs have the directions spoken to you like owning a real GPS without paying a dime extra to use the gps.  My favorite is the program that allows me to connect my laptop to the internet through my phone.

I hate apple and refuse to buy any of their products but that is just me.
