Is a Blackberry generally considered better than an iPhone or PDA?

Mr Jones · 18 Nov 2008 at 11:25

Samsung Omnia - "cheap man's iPhone" which does almost everything better than iPhone. Blackberry is cool but those with a keyboard are always so... big. Gotta admit the Storm looks cool.

Fingerprints etc show up a lot more on the screen compared to an iphone.

That's why one uses stylus or cover the screen with invisible shield. My omnia has no finger prints on screen because I'm somehow managed to work everything with a stylus... even the art of holding the phone pulling the stylus out of the external ring.

I use to have the ipod touch, similar to the iPhone, a layer of invisible shield and you'll be happy to tap the screen after eating nik naks.

I'm not even much of a fan of Apple, but you are just wrong.

Blackberry is a business handset with email features better than you will find on the iphone or a PDA.

Not sure why non business consumers want blackberrys though...

Knubje · 18 Nov 2008 at 11:33

I'm not an apple fanboy either. However, the iPhone is what the Blackberry was 2/3 years ago - a posers "phone". With better software and general improvements being an APPLE product rather than RIM.

For most users I would argue that ActiveSync pwnz BES due to it being microsoft and generally integrates with Exchange better. (You have the same features of email if not more available using PDA/iPhone)

Blackberry, never off email, only good for work.
