A Blackberry with no apps has messaging, browser, clock, tasks and notifications, memo pad also with notifications, Calendar also with notifications, media player, word processing, power point, excel, flashlight, gps, and password keeper.
The iphone has some of these tasks built in and i do have to admit the new ones have a cool compass, but the battery life on the iphone sucks so bad that if you do need the compass you're probably out of battery. BB's battery can last 2 days no problem.
I know that. You can jailbreak an iPhone in 20 seconds and download backgrounder. It's pretty damn simple to get backgrounding on my iPhone. I even have a pre-inspired card UI for multitasking too with proswitcher.
Thats pretty damn stupid for Apple to let some hackers hack into their software when they should have included it in the first place. Doesnt that make the better producer RIM? And all those multi-tasking functions you can only get with jail-breaking comes with any Blackberry, fresh out of the box.
Apple doesn't LET anyone do that, infact they block it with every release, but the iPhone has such a great software development community that they re-hack it open every single time no matter what apple does to try to eliminate it.
And yeah I'd like to see your blackberry have at least 8GB of storage built-in.. SD cards don't count.
That means what you do with your iphone is not condoned by apple and therefore it is not a valid argument. What you do with an iphone is your business, but apple will not acknowledge it because they want their customers to void their warranties so when something happens they cant simply go in and exchange it.
And I would definitely love 8gb of memory in by BB, but i dont need it for apps. I use an SD card for all my media, and I find that to be plenty enough so thats a pretty weak argument.
Yes but I can simply restore my iPhone before going into the apple store and they would still replace it for me. I even went in there WITH it jailbroken and they saw but theys still replaced my headphones for me because they didnt care. Multiple employees saw.
Also, its not a weak argument, because the point is that you can't get a certain thing out of the box.. Built-in storage is very valuable to many people, even moreso than third-party multitasking.
Lol if that 256 mb was for everything, then there is going to be a problem. You trying to exclude SD cards and external storage is stupid. Point is the Blackberry does not need as many apps because it can do many things by itself. It doesnt need 8GB worth of apps in order for it to be useful.
It isn't part of the phone so it's just as secondary as a jailbreak procedure, which is FREE, and can be done at home in 20 seconds. And don't be so ridiculous. A blackberry with no apps is just as bare bones as an iPhone with no apps. iPhone lacks built-in multitasking, and Blackberry lacks built-in storage (which has several advantages besides just being there).
The Storm2 kills the iphone, the 9700 kills the iphone, the Tour kills the iphone, the Tour2 kills the iphone, the Storm 3 bajillion kills it even more, dare apple to try and make a iphone2 with a TIVO dvr and a satellite mounted to it for Direct TV because that's the only chance they have.
They boast about their apps when 98% of them are all game and not work related at all. the iphone is pretty much played out now. everyone has one to look cool. Sure a lot of people has a blackberry but at least their reasoning for getting it is to have more usable smartphone features unlike people with iphones who get it just because of those 98% useless apps. There's nothing better about the iphone over a blackberry....nothing. And for BBM, iphone users are just jealous
I'm to the point where i believe all Iphone users are getting a little desperate in trying to prove it's better than blackberry. People keep trying to say "it's the dummy phone" and "their browser is slow" and they try to use multitasking as their main point of argument. if that's all you have then i'm sorry, you guys have lost. I'm sure all of you guys know about the new torch webkit browser coming out that will....torch iphone's browser. The iphone is now a toy that anyone can play with.
Every. single. idiot. I. Work. With. Has. A. Blackberry.
And they are all teenaged girls.
The funny thing is, they've never even seen iPhone web browsing, and when I show them, they are horrified by how much better it is than their stupid blackberry which they pay the same amount for every month just so they can be trendy and BBM their retarded friends.
LOL. iPhone is a poor excuse of a smartphone. Its just a toy with a web browser. There is a reason why everyone at work has a blackberry instead of an iphone. Cuz you dont need useless apps to do work.
a smart-phone should be able to multi-task, make calls, text, email, and overall bump up your productivity. From what i've seen of the iphone all you do is play games. And I think you're leaving out all the people that use their phone for business and school. I use my phone for everything, from writing essays to scheduling appointments, to keeping in touch with friends. Blackberry's been here longer than iphones, so i would have to say iphone is the trendy overrated plastic
I do all of those things with my iPhone including multitasking. And I know that there are some people who need blackberry but I literally know about 500 people who have them just for the sake of BBMing.. Which I find absolutely retarded.
What happens when you need to quickly go to a company's desktop format website to retrieve contact information? I'll tell you one thing, that definitely ain't happening quickly or easily on a blackberry. Sorry.
LOL. I've tried playing a game and listening to music at the same time. Epic failure. BBM is a wonderful innovation. Direct communications between blackberries? Why dont you have direct communications between iphones?
You do have a point there, but it gets done. But RIM is releasing a web-kit browser either in april or the summer of 2010. And what happens when you get the contact info? You cant copy and paste with an iphone without 3rd party help. OOh, but the BB can do that out of the box!
@irving94 hi, could u let me know what the battey life is like for the storm 2?

Yes because teenaged girls are really using their phones for WORK. You're an idiot.
Blackberrys are trendy cheap plastic now. They are more trendy and overrated than iPhones, especially in Canada.

Really? because I can listen to music, run IM+, and play any game at the same time. No problems for me.
And BBM is just trendy exclusivity so teenagers can brag about having a blackberry and feel special.
And sorry but iPhone OS has copy and paste.. retard.
