Deathmatch: BlackBerry versus iPhone

It's a long read but I'm sure it will stir up hard feelings... Especially with the authors tag line of: It’s time for us to bury the BlackBerry and move on to modern mobile -- even for e-mail.


I personally have not used an I-Phone but I did use a G-1 for awhile. It was ok but I prefer the BB form factor.

Discussions?

I have used the BB in many forms, the iPhone and iTouch, and am now doing time in hell with an LG Voyager.

The BB is so reliable. The feel of a real keyboard is important to me, and the BB in all forms (save the Storm) gives that to us as users.

Touch screens are pretty, but seem to be always dirty, imprecise, and (for the most part) unnecessary.

Batteries have come a long way, but as a power-user YOU WEAR THEM OUT. Apple products lose big.

I would love to have a BB again. When I find regular employment that is what I will get, not because it is the latest thing, but because it is the greatest.
