Debates create challenging conversations. When you go mano a mano you could win, you could lose or you could just agree to disagree. In the arena of mobile phones there is a singular debate that continues to rage on and is one which may could never be settled - and that is is the iPhone superior to the Blackberry? Each of these phones has its devout followers, but if you are sitting on the fence what would need to know to make you jump down and choose one or the other?
At its most basic it boils down to what you want out of a phone. Is it mainly for business or simply for pleasure? The Blackberry was designed specifically for the business world and is -at time of writing- the UK's best selling Smartphone. It's extremely reliable, easy to use and has plenty of office applications, making it an useful extension of your desk at work. But if you're after tons of cool features and more apps to choose from than you could possibly ever use, then the iPhone is best. The iPhone is a prestige phone and is basically a complete entertainment centre in the palm of your hand. Apart from the standard making calls, picture and video messaging, additionally you can also download music, stream video, order a takeaway, make a restaurant reservation, get directions, find out about the weather, enjoy games, even read barcodes and scan goods for your next supermarket shop - the list is almost endless! Truly there is an app for everything, and if there isn't then the chances are it's already being worked on!
Making the most of technology, the touchscreen and motion sensing capabilities of the iPhone is particularly notable. This makes it an ideal gadget for gaming and for simple consumer interaction and of course satisfaction. The advanced technology of the iPhone puts it far ahead of its challengers in the market. However some of the newer Android phones in the smartphone market are nipping ever so much faster at their heels!
The iPhone does have more storage space, a quicker CPU and more RAM than a Blackberry, but it is also noticeably more fragile. Drop it once and you can easily shatter that gorgeous sensitive screen. However there are numerous protective covers that can help stop such expensive mishaps! But the Blackberry is extremely well made, it's strong and can withstand being thrown across the floor (not too literally though) or being jumbled about at the bottom of your handbag or shoved in your pocket! If security is an overriding factor, then the Blackberry wins hands down as it is believed to be the most secure smartphone currently available on the business market. Sadly, the iPhone still needs more work in that department!
So which is best, the Blackberry or iPhone? Well, it is a matter of personal choice as to what you want your phone to do. Both phones have features which they do better than the other. If you want a slick and super stylish mobile that does everything at the touch of a touch sensitive screen button, then pick up an iPhone. But if you want to get straight to business, then the Blackberry will be your best buy!
