I to have just updated my phone, and I have to say, I got the Blackberry Storm and absolutely love it!!

And if you are concerned about cost, the blackberry is your choice.
It has most of what the Iphone offers.
I even use it to take pictures and video for my blog, which means not taking the camera or video recorder with me all the time.

I love my Blackberry!!

hi Chinaren, i agree it depends on our needs and taste. Probably i’m just been driven by the buzz of iphone and my desire to veer away from my old, plain but reliable nokia phone of mine. Thanks for the visit and comment as well.

In terms of popularity, the Blackberry is actually more popular. Last quarter, they sold 8.3 million Blackberries. Apple’s numbers haven’t come out yet, but it is expected to be about 7.5 million iPhones.

The iPhone has the buzz right now because many feel it has a much better user interface. It is popular with younger folks, and people that play a lot with digital cameras and MP3 players. However, in the business world, the Blackberry dominates.

Personally, I have a 3 year old Motorola Razr. I can take pictures and video with it, as well as use it as an MP3 player, I’ve loaded a small amount of games on it. So, it works well enough for me.

Personally, I have concerns about how closed the iPhone is. Unless you jailbreak it, you can only run applications approved by Apple. As an application developer, I find that offensive. So, right now, I’m waiting for the next generation of Android phones to come out, and I’ll decide then if it is time to upgrade.

My two cents….

I’m not sure about the Blackberry, but I wouldn’t buy the iPhone. It’s nice to use, but the features it has are really out of date.

I looked at the Apple, briefly, and a friend has one as well, but frankly it’s really not up to par. In the end I bought a Nokia N97, and I’ve been really happy with it.

Of course, it depends on your taste and so on, and also if you’re in the US or not, but there are many phones better these days. Apple may have kickstarted the market, but it can’t keep up with the dedicated phone manufacturers now they’ve caught up.
