do yopu have an ipod in your blackberry?

[piemel]

okay... to play music the iphone should win hands down right?

i don't want to play music on my phone but thats okay... i can see why this would be cool for some users.

anything else? I assume the web browsing is somewhat better on the iphone with safari... i do just fine with opera on my bberry but if web is really important I guess the iphone would be better?

for one it has a way better user interface for me, way nicer and easier. i don;t think i've really heard anyone saying how much better an iphone is than a blackberry.

and really, can you get a blackberry for $200 that will do everything an iphone will do, watch video, 8-16gig ipod, great internet interface, and large screen?

blackberrys are more of a business persons phone still, iphones cross the gap from standard phone user to business person, this is why so many people like them.

who are these people saying that the iphone is better than a blackberry. all i hear are people saying how much they like the iphone, not comparing it to a blackberry.

i'm not saying you are making it up, i basically only am on gp.com on the web so i am in a little vacume.

two of my friends have blackberrys and they are nowhere near as easy to use as mine or as nice of an interface. But i think they my be low end ones that are free or like $100 or something cause they are not like my dads super high end one that is all pimp n stuff.

i like the iphone cause i basically does all the stuff that the blackberry does or at least all the stuff i would need it to do and at a reasonable price.

since i have actually never had a blackberry i really can't say if one is better than another.

this is an interesting side by side comparison of the two

iPhone vs. BlackBerry Bold: Hands On (and Wait-a-Thon) | The iPhone Blog

and a great quote from it

…We could really go on and on with this chart, for every advantage we can think of for one, it seems to get cancelled out by an advantage by the other. Overall, though the BlackBerry Bold’s new look — both the iPhone-esque shell and the Sony-esque new skin on the UI — doesn’t change the fact that underneath it all this is still a BlackBerry. It’s still more corporate friendly than consumer friendly.

the user interface on the iphone far exceeds any phone I have ever and i'd guess will ever use.

same reason I understood computers only once i used a mac. i'm a visually oriented person and apples grasp of human intuition vs. database protocol wins for me every time.

hey, dutchie!

ive had a blackberry and an iphone. i too prefer the interface. i would always carry an ipod with me as well so this was summed into one device. the browser is a hundred times better.

and im a huge nerd who wanted a cracked phone in which ive made my custom star wars themes. play my nes emulator and turned my camera phone into a video recorder. plus tap tap revolution is pretty intense.

these are my personal reasons though.
