Blackberry Vs Iphone

Looking for information on the BlackBerry vs. iPhone? As you probably know, both the BlackBerry and the iPhone are smartphones. While you really can't go wrong with either phone, they both have some features that may or may not be beneficial to you. This may come as a surprise to many, but according to PC World, as of January 2010, there are actually seventeen to eighteen million more BlackBerry users than there are iPhone users. The BlackBerry, of course, has been around longer and is a very popular phone amongst business professionals.

If you are looking for a phone that you can type on rather quickly, the BlackBerry is probably more suited for you. The BlackBerry comes with a full QWERTY keyboard that makes texting, sending emails and more a breeze. You can also copy and paste text from application to application on the BlackBerry. Being that the iPhone is a touchscreen phone and does not have a QWERTY keyboard, it will likely take you longer to send that important personal or business email on that device. The BlackBerry also has an advantage when it comes to network coverage. Unlike the iPhone, the BlackBerry is still a functional smart phone when you are out of the coverage area for your network.

The iPhone is still a great phone and depending on your needs, it may be a better option for you. When it comes to the selection of available applications, the iPhone wins, hands down. Since the iPhone has come out, thousands of applications, some of which are free and some of which you have to pay for, have been developed and released. If you are a gamer, the iPhone is the smartphone you will want. The touchscreen and fully functional motion sensor combine to make playing games on the iPhone a blast. When it all comes down to it, if you are a business user, the BlackBerry may be of more interested to you, while the iPhone seems to be more popular amongst personal users.
