Default Iphone vs BlackBerry

CrazEToon is right on with his evaluation with a few exceptions (in my opinion) that might make a difference to a potential iphone purchaser. I too have had a Blackberry for years.

When comparing the iphone to the BB, I have found that the RF performance of the Blackberry is much better than the iphone. Signal levels are always stronger, the audio is about twice as loud in both the earpiece and speaker phone.

The Iphone does not have a real usable reminder or alert for email messages. The existing alert tone for emails on the iphone is feeble at best.

When I operate both my curve and the iphone side by side, the EDGE performance is always better on the blackberry ( most likely due to better antenna and radio)

The Blackberry also has the great auto text feature where you can tap just a few characters that will ultimately fill the screen with any text you like. This feature alone would help make the iphone a better business tool. Especially seeing that there is no "cut and paste" on the iphone.

I would have to admit that the Iphone's screen is fantastic. Browsing the web has the Blackberry beat by a mile.

If the new touch screen blackberry can match the Iphones multi touch interface and gorgeous display, it would be the new top dog....

I just saying...
