BB great Business

I have both :_))

I am one of those few that actually like width and thickness as long as it’s in a sleek form.

Yup, nothing wrong with that.

In fact, I wouldn't have any problem with the iPhone becoming slightly bigger and slightly thicker to accomadate multitasking, and other battery killers, until technology catches up. The iPhone's size now is extremely nice (I love it), but not necessary. I doubt that a slightly bigger screen and battery would be met with much criticism, even if it increased the iPhone's size just a tad.

However, that's just not the Apple way.

I just got a 9700 for work but there's nothing better than my personal iPhone 3GS for personal fun.

But my opinion is size. I am one of those few that actually like width and thickness as long as it's in a sleek form. The iPhone is pretty big itself. But the Bold is bigger obviously not as pretty as the iPhone. But the size assures me that the device won't break as easily. (not true in some cases) lol.

But my problem is now, the compromised size of the 9700, Or the the "full sized Cadillac limo" that is the Bold original.

But until apple deploys an iPhone that delivers more functionality, I will be swaying over to the berry side. And that's a given, all three phones have a contract renewal price of 199.99 hmm.

both types of phones definently have their place

after 2.5 years on an iPhone there's no denying bb 8830 is totally solid but hugely limited. No new model was really a replacent until the bold 9700

ironically, the worst part about the blackberry is the trackballs tend to fail

Very good points (that I'm already aware of). I realize BlackBerry's emailing has advantages.

But most users come here and constantly repeat things like "I use BlackBerry because I email a lot" or "I need to email, so I need a BlackBerry and a physical keyboard"... as if no other phone can provide general email capabilities. It gets old.

Thanks for being different by actually pointing out the differences.

There are also other clear reasons to choose an iPhone, Android, or some other smartphone. Eventually this collection of differences in all these phones will become less of a factor as they all begin to solve each other's strengths and add them to their own brand.

What a tiresome, tiresome, tiresome argument anymore.

I lol'd at that one.

BlackBerry has 61% of the Enterprise market, more than twice as much as its nearest competitor. We kind of know that, but the interesting part is who that nearest competitor is.... iPhone, with 27% of the Enterprise market. Windows Mobile had plummeted to 3rd position in Enterprise, losing the one niche it once had.
