BlackBerry vs iPhone

CanwllCorfe · 07-26-2010, 07:40 PM

I've had my iPhone for awhile. It's great! It's not very useful when I'm at my mom's (she has a computer) but the games always come in handy. When I'm at my dad's though, forget about it. No computer and he lives in the woods. It may sound nice but I've always lived in this general area so I've pretty much grown used to it. No friends around either. So the iPhone helps that situation out quite a bit. I like the games and apps.. and the main feature of having an MP3 player and a phone in one. That, and Apple's design is fandiddles. Design is a big thing for me.

When it comes to possibilities, the iPhone is definitely the better one. And it's pretty sturdy. I like iPhones, I just don't like apple and I don't like the fact that even if they're really very old, the price will stay high.

I've got a BB 9700 bold.
15 euro's (about 20USD) at a yard sale.
Found another defective blackberry for free and got myself a charger.
Works perfectly and it cost me about 25 euro's.
That's dirt cheap, but still... Not going to happen with an iPhone.

I just got the iPhone 4S. I like it!

I kissed my mates 4S, she was beeeeee-you-tifuuuuul haha.

My mother's got an iPhone 3GS, my 13-year-old sister has a 4, and my 22-year-old sister has a 4s.

With that said, I've messed around with their phones, and I'd take my BlackBerry any day. They're sturdier (mine's fallen off of balconies, out windows, into a toilet, etc.), more secure, and I don't have a ****ing phone just to play games on it.

As an aside, I just really don't like Apple products.

I have a friend with an iPhone 4 who straight up wanted to trade me phones when I was showing him all the cool stuff on the Torch. Then, he wanted to play with my phone, couldn't figure it out, and bitched about how unnecessarily complicated it was. I wasn't going to trade him anyway.

I guess being user-friendly is more Apple's forte than RIM's. So that's certainly one point in Apple's favor, although I personally have had no problems working my BlackBerry devices. I guess if someone wanted more game-centric mobile device experience, they'd also gravitate to the iPhone, although I personally have tons of games on my Torch that are fantastic - Angry Pigs is just as good as Angry Birds...in that it's exactly the same game.

Oh! And I don't know if it's just my mom and sisters' phones, but my Torch has much faster video playback on wifi and 3G. My area doesn't have 4G yet.

I have a 4 now. I definitely like it more than the 3G, especially the Maps app (since I use it all the damn time). I will miss my 3G. I still can't believe it survived being dropped in a toilet! I never felt so relieved, especially since it was just a couple weeks before I was going to trade it in.

I actually got to use my friend Roger's Blackberry and didn't really like it, especially the keyboard. They both have pros and cons. For me, the iPhone is a better choice. The only thing is that I think now I honestly like the white one more. I'll remember that for next time.
