I love it how you get all worked up about the iPhone vs. Blackberry. In the end, I think it's all a matter of preference.

8830 meh

Iphone is purely for the multimedia experience and thats what the general public want blackberries are for the business world and people that want to look important like they have corporate emails they don't really have. I will give the bold a test drive though just cuz i'm a phone freak

i wont say BB is crap...cuz its not...its indeed productive when i want to communicate so thats being honest..but business users have non-business lives too and the iphone fills the gap nicely....the ease of use is definitely the big factor the iphone...navigating through one app to the other is definitely a big big plus.

plus my BB is on an all corporate data plan so thats not bad.

bottom line:

anyone can live without a multimedia device in their pocket...noone NEEDS movies or music

however, try taking a BB away from a business professional and ask them if they can live without it and see what they say.

iPhone has a long ways to go before it reaches that kind of level.

almost 40% of our sales last year came from the consumer market and that is only going to continue to grow.

BB's may not do multimedia as good but I'd rather just have the ability to play music/movies and then have all the functionality of the BB taht the iPhone doesn't have on top of it.

iPhone can't even run more than one app at a time in the background...how gay is that.

p.s.

who would you rather have in your pocket anyway?

consumers who may or may not have money or the richest/most powerful people in the world who will spend millions of dollars on your product?

why do you think Apple is trying to break into the corporate market?
