10 Reasons I switched from an iPhone 3G to a Blackberry Bold

[BrahSumatra]

I use a BlackBerry 9780 for work because it's secure with BBM (BlackBerry Messenger) and Email reliability and I use the IPhone 3GS for personal use.

They both have their pros and cons.The biggest con for the IPhone is the battery life something Apple has yet to seriously address. The biggest con for BlackBerry is RIM's lack of vision for better useful apps and marketing.

The bickering of which phone is better makes no sense as both phones are good and will only get better.

[MissSelenaGomazFame]

blackberry + ipod touch = my loves ;P LOL

[xthesickbeatzx]

This argument of which phone is better is never black and white....first of all blackberry is more of a business phone... iPhone is more for games and music...depends what you like and what you need from a phone

[SirHoover2010]

@xthesickbeatzx Except for my dad (has his own business) and my mom (manages a business) were talked into an iphone by a family friend (also owns his own business) because he said it blows blackberry out of the water. I personally like blackberry but coming from my dad and mom and his good friend iphone is just as good for business, this guy just doesnt know how to set his shit up on iphone otherwise he would like it more

[kooljosue]

I dont even know why I'm watching this I have an android :)

[sriram87]

Blackberry is so 2000 and late

[ihauyang]

that was 2009 guys.

soon is Siri going to take over control of the hole world.

[jessem111111111]

iPhone is better you just suck at life

[cytomatrix]

Basically you don't know how to use iPhone well so you think your 3g enable notepad is better. :)

[darksoul499]

ipod is exact same as iphone except u cant call and txt soooo blackberry is better for phone nice and small durable BBM list goes on and on

[WardoTheGoalie]

someone's clearly never used an iphone 4...

[hardstylejunky100]

Blackberry is for teenage girls

[MegaSophie345]

@hardstylejunky100 Actually i think this is rather childish. Blackberry is for EVERYONE.

[KooladeCapriSun]

Between the blackberry bold 9900 and the new iPhone 4s, I'd definitely choose the bold. It does virtually anything the iPhone does but the cameras quality Is better. Both touchscreen, but easier typing on bold better messaging 4g practically everywhere... Still wins

[SpooktochtBreugel]

You're stupid...

[757Pilot100]

There are so many reasons Iphone is waaay better than balckberry:

Better Technology

WAAY easier to use

Simple

A very smooth glass touch screen

THINNER

FASTER!!!

Better APPS

and MUCH MORE!!!

[drewgilchrist]

I phone seems childish to me.. that's why i would never get one.

[FriendVideoMaker4Eva]

Getting a BlackBerry for my bday next month , i wouldnt get a iphone cause its like a ipod but whatever blackberrys ftw

[music4theluvofmusic]

i like how u r talking about how you think that blackberry is better then iphone and you have a mac computer ;)

[Wildthing1984]

well blackberry more for buisness user and serious people . iphone is more for kids if you want my opinion

[krazyape6446]

Would never switch to that crapy small ass screen iPhone iz way better

[smokethmgoods]

blackberry fan boy...iphone all day baby :)

[SniperRashid]

@smokethmgoods That means you are a iphone fanboy...

[FlowsSoSick]

ios5 not only has the camera from the lock screen, it has ZOOM

[GODOFWAR11911]

lmfao. This is halarious. iPhone ftw.

[aaluz]

Invest in a better quality camera.

[CBeard98]

am i the only one that is for

iphone > Blackberry

[MadLyriczProductions]

@CBeard98 duuh

I got the iphone 4

Greatest [heaviest] phone ever

no sarcasm, hehe.

[Joshw1337]

Lol... What a retard. Blackberrys have consistently, and will continue to be the shittest phones available. I didn't even watch this video, all I had to do was read the title. Smd sir.

[brandonto]

@Joshw1337 u mad... y u so personal?

[Joshw1337]

@brandonto Y u smd? U jelly?

[brandonto]

@Joshw1337 lmaoo! u mad....

[Joshw1337]

@brandonto Ujellibbfgt?

[brandonto]

@Joshw1337 LOLugaynigguh

[Joshw1337]

@brandonto o u so fumin chillit bruhhh

[brandonto]

@Joshw1337 lol

[sidbear2]

@Joshw1337 lol what a retard you are its only a phone at the end of the day and for your information the shittiest phone available is actually the nokia 1100

[Joshw1337]

@sidbear2 CRY EZ. HOWZ UR BBM? OH ITS NOT WORKING? HMMPH :[

[HikaruHosokawa]

Android > iOS > RIMOS

[squidly1117]

251 people don't use their iphones for business

[Tydude19]

Wow I gotta say he's u know like iPhone rulez

[HikaruHosokawa]

You have iOS apps for thoses....

[djplayer93]

@HikaruHosokawa Man, but BlackBerry has all that integrated! It don't need app for every fucking function! -.-

[HikaruHosokawa]

@djplayer93 Yes but iPhone and Android phones are more powerful with their processeur. (but the iPhone 3G processor is weak compared to my HTC Desire)

It's done in 4 minutes do download theses apps ! And it takes 20 secondes to download apps if you need a new app after...

[djplayer93]

@HikaruHosokawa And again apps.. BlackBerry is business phone, not entertainment game console!

[HikaruHosokawa]

@djplayer93 M'kay :S

[leo0761]

I personally prefer BlackBerry over Apple; but its everyone's opinion. I am also OCD with my emails, so that is another reason I would prefer BlackBerry; but I own both (BlackBerry Torch 9810 and Apple iPhone 3GS). I like both of them really. Neither is better than the other.

[ovibe]

@leo0761 lol I've been using a blackberry for 4 years.. loved it love the bbm and the email features. but then i bought the 9810 cause i thought the phone was gonna be the shit. honestly, BLACKBERRY HAS NO APPS.. it's so fucking boring.. BBM blacked out for a weekend and there was nothing to do on my phone. i can honestly say that iPhone is the BEST! phone out it has everything and they keep improving. Rim hasn't really offered much in 4 years. faster phone same apps. RIM stocks down? apple ftw

[leo0761]

@ovibe You are soo right! BlackBerry doesn't have any apps and the few they do have aren't free like Apple's Apps. I don't know what BlackBerry's problem is on that but they have a lot of catching up to do on that note.

[rsxhitman]

@leo0761 what type of "apps" are you looking for?

ive used every platform and as far as im concerned it has everything...

[DonnaF0x]

Iphone is better!!!

[DVX389]

stupid person..just scroll the contact and then touch the alphabet,,im 18 smarter then you

[DawsonCosmos]

@DVX389 "THAN" you...

[poppaonboard]

Blackberry used to be a business mans phone,now it seems Blackberry is used more by school kids, I don't want a kids phone.

[laxb3ast428]

wow, this guy really didn't know how to use an iphone because i could do all of that stuff (except for the special email features) on my iphone.

[MiltonTheOwl]

LOL the iphone can zoom actually..

[syougtubes]

@MiltonTheOwl not the 3g though..and he's comparin it to the 3g.

[dalinuxnerd]

I hate all this which one is the best.These are all opinions there is no such thing as best phone its all about which one you prefer.

[AimBabeey]

Blackberry is better! iPhone is not as good!

[999124999]

Black berry is for emails 'cause when you get tons it's annoying, iPhone is for more entertainment. I personally choose iPhone.

[asdsgsrgsrhg]

All said and done ,

BLACKBERRY > IPHONE.

PERIOD.

[lighter97]

@bmxrider9781 loooool yew seem MadT

[lighter97]

I totally agree with this. I have an iPhone 3Gs and it's jank. I hate when it freezes, and lags. Especially when I have a limit on photos. I ordered my blackberry 9700 yesterday(''':

[Jwhiterz]

I dont think you know how to work an iphone very well.

[hollaythevampgurl123]

Im stuck between these two phones.....fml...

[bmxrider9871]

and dude THE IPHONE DOES ZOOM. YOU FUCKING DUMBASS THE IPHONE ZOOMS MORE THAN THE BLACKBERRY. AND THE IPHONE CAMERA IS 5 MEGAPIXELS YOUR STUPID BOLS IS 3.2. and also, that was unfair cause your blackberry wasnt on sleep like your iphone was, and also you did it so fast, on the iphone you stopped between clicks you tool

[bmxrider9871]

dude all you do to search your contacts in the iphone is scroll left on your first page on the homepage, and type who youre looking for... it lets youn search your WHOLE phone.

[suborna94]

@bmxrider9871 : that video is from 2009, that method wasn't put in the iphone then...

[maddmaxx636]

why would u be in your wifes and your sons email> FREAK!!!

[AudioAngerCinema]

I switched from iphone 3g to BB.Worst decision I ever made. Get the iphone 5g instead, FUCK BLACK BERRY.

[ArticLizard97]

@AudioAngerCinema Well said

[AudioAngerCinema]

@ArticLizard97 Although switching my phone wasn't a bad idea (because 3g sucked and was outdated), it was what I switched too that was a bad idea. If anyone is considering iphone 5, check out the Dev conference video on Apples channel. I believe this may put an end to Android and most definitely BB.

[gyubokbaik]

I guess for business use BlackBerry is better... hmm should get the new one coming out 9900

[JB3PAC]

Start watching at about 5:42 and listen to his voice.

At 5:59, when the point changes to no.6 his voice goes way deeper :)

[TheAbadaniBoy]

all the problems are about e-mail ... dude if the only thing u want is sending and recieving emails just buy a BB but iphone is more than just sendin emails

[sabahkh]

dude u gave the rong info. about the camera !

u can video it! luk down in the ryt side there is a pic of a camera and video camera! and it can zoom in tooo!

[sabahkh]

dude u gave the rong info. about the camera !

u can video it! luk down in the ryt side there is a pic of a camera and video camera!

[JordanEvans3794]

this is all about email, fuck email... rename this video dude !!

[JordanEvans3794]

That's alot of Jim's...

[JordanEvans3794]

We all know that said teenage porn when he was talking about email ;)

[javasam9]

I likr BB

[myowncomputerstuff]

You do realize that you had a misunderstanding on reason #3. You just scroll up to get the search bar. It is actually hidden on other apps like Notes. If you left some annotation on that part than srry. I can see those on my iPhone.

[aiai2078]

Apple VS Berry ...which do you enjoy more? ...lol

[labraskal]

camera focus!

[djuciie]

is the camera better on the iphone or bb?

[sdavis197]

@djuciie

The camera is good on the iphone, but the iphone doesnt have flash so night time photos will not come out so good if at all. I had a blackberry and now Im using the iphone to see what all the hooplah was about. I'm up for an upgrade so im going back to blackberry. If u want to hang with the "in" crowd socially go for the iphone, but if your business savy kind of person, BB is the way to go

[tjaybader]

Blackberry is what I'm going with right now.. But I think back when this was done you could still tap the top bar of the iPhone to go to the top and search

[IBeza360]

In mi opinion

[IBeza360]

Blackberry is way better

[lowertz]

In the first 3 seconds I thought you were Steve Jobs

[RandomRobbieGuy]

They are both great phone companies. Bb knows they need to step it up. It's comes down to, do you want all touch or keyboard+ touch, or keyboard.

[RandomRobbieGuy]

Beyond this guy. This guy is stupid. You dont freaking tap the search thing on the iPhone, you use that to scroll. Also why talk about email I mean yes it's used but we all know bb is better at it. I had the bold 9700, every iPhone, palm. I have the iPhone 4 now and can't decide if I should get the bold touch for my 10,000 texts a month or stick with iPhone and get the iPhone 5... They are. Oth

[TheIBobby]

Bb r fuckin pieces of crap bull shit!!!!!!! Thumbs up i u agree with me

[anthonyjamous]

@TheIBobby no one fucking agree with u :):)

[TysonJ16]

The fact that people are even comparing iphones to blackberry bolds is a statement to how good the bold is. They are phones in different price ranges and completely different categories

[TheQwerty199]

iphones are miles better than blackberrys what do you expect the email is gonna be better on a blackberry tho cause its a business phone but i have the iphone 4 and its wayyyy better than the blackberrys everyone at school have that fall apart all the tome all i ever hear from them is how crap blackberrys are! Glad i dont have one!

[bloodyred915]

i have an iphone 3gs 16 gb running iOS 4.3.2 i'm planning to sell it and buy a BB bold 9700. hope i wont have any regrets...

[MrFreeze7005]

@bloodyred915 3gs and 9700 r equally gud. if u want better pics,better camera,better videos,emails and IMs 9700 is a gud choice

[crizmoPS3iMac]

You just don't know how to use an iPhone lol

[iEatUglyNoobs]

mad apple fans.

[TheBroozerZ]

Love Blackberry! Finally got one!:)

[alpsahinoglu]

fuck off do not make noise with your mouth

[MsElly101]

I HATE BLACKBERRY i took it back it was falling apart

[patrioticheart]

Iphones suck!  Blackberry rules you motherfuckaaass

[MrCanSpank]

@patrioticheart LMFAO

Buffering please wait (me: ok, i'll wait)

[MikeMac9017]

my work blackberry takes about 25-30 mins to receive email. sooo slow.

[BreebreeManaj36]

i hate blackberrys grrrrrrrrrrrrrr iphones r better

[ashy9121]

To me you seem thick...search is fine, emails work perfect. You can choose how many emails display in settings...25-200! None of your points are true...

[MrWizardJW]

LOL you were using the alphabet column on contacts all wrong your supposed to swipe up or down :L

[MegaButterflysky]

iPhone and blackberrys are both Beast!!  It's just your personal opinion?

[JRandCoproductions]

why in the hell would you check your wife and kids email? talk about lack of privacy god damn

[MrEasyncool]

Omg your so stupid Avery thing you said is a lie the iPhone can do all those thing and more you wanna know why I thing the iPhone is better than any other phone in the world is because you can jailbreak it Cydia can do so much stuff than android and blackberry combined just Cydia alone in your video all you talk about is what the blackberry can do that the iPhone can't why don't you talk about what the iPhone can do that blackberry can first off all it's a lot faster second it's more user frien

[catastrovision]

@MrEasyncool uuhm... you can jailbreak every phone...

[2345msbubbles]

[2345msbubbles]

[sk8guy19]

No offense, but i think u just dont know how to use iphone! Almost everything u said it cant do, it can. Iphonw can take videos, all u do is slide it fr

[Alexscrap10]

is all you care about email and contacts? pathetic, i pray for you

[33ehsan]

u never mentioned about the ball that stucks up on ur blackberry :P

[33ehsan]

lol....u stalk ur wife's emails :P

[z06camaro]

Iphone is a fun cool phone, but blackberry is a workhorse. I have a blackberry 9700 and a itouch, covers both facets.

[Sawaiz1791]

i cant see nothing mate.

[LetsThrowAnOrange]

i like how its your phone and you call your own sons email ' teenage sons email' when you could've just put his real name, your such a good father!xD

[BloddSniper]

8. you can sync with iphone!!!

i didn't response all 10 reasons cuz i was too lazy to play the vid back

top 2 reasons i think you changed from iphone

1. you wanted ping

2. you don't like touchscreen

[BloddSniper]

1. there is a search bar for contacts at iphone

2. you can send from more accounts mails from iphone

3. you can change the amount of shown email

4. iphone camera is better

5. iphone camera can zoom too

6. iphone can vid. too and if your using 3g or lower you can download camera app ( free )

7. cables is fcking stupid reason!! why the fack would you even play on your bb while its loading in your CAR!!, how tall are you 3 meters?! i mean if you have to bend over when listening music wtf dude

[furkanovich]

I switched from 3Gs to 9700 bb. Blackberry gets boring after using it too long but iphone got the apps. BB APP world is Fucked up. Ios App store is Asome ! But bb is smaller etc etc I like my bb right now BUT Iphone is better in my opinion

[ItalianRobot2]

Hey dude, press the home button twice and search whatever.. bravo stupid.

[calindor19]

iphone for app . black berry just simple for email.

[AndersPors]

Have you switched back to your iphone now since we are at 4.2.1 iOS and many of the issues do not apply anymore!?

[MediaLandscaper]

@AndersPors Hey, as i mentioned in the video, I had planned to get a second device, an iTouch when it shot video. I held out and instead got the iPad2 that shoots video! Love the Blackberry device, still for several advantageous reasons over an iPhone operability, but indeed the 4.2.1 iOS has solved many of the issues referenced in this video. Ultimately, device selection and retention are user preferences.

[cpcrame]

@MediaLandscaper thumbs up on user preference. Hardware-wise, Blackberry is the bottom of the barrel, but I wouldn't trade it for an android or an iphone :>

[yeah6373]

@AndersPors people cant be switching from one phone to another dude, i mean, of course there will be updates but when chosing a phone u gotta see whats on the market, not what will be, other wise u will never get a phone...thats why the dude here is saying he switched his phone to another AT THAT TIME, cuz you know, if we could see in the future we would wait till the right phone would come, right?

[a123qwert567]

ofc BB is better, but atm i think Iphone fixed some stuff u listed here.....but otherwise i ll buy a BB^^

btw BB has a key-lock too.....if u use it, its not th at fast -.-

and for me is the best, the little LED which shows u if u got a message^^ thats a nice gimmick.

[a123qwert567]

ofc BB is better, but atm i think Iphone fixed some stuff u listed here.....but otherwise i ll buy a BB^^

[AnimeLoverEkin]

Of course Blackberry would be better for e-mailing and stuff like that. It is a business friendly phone. That doesn't mean it is a better phone, though. It isn't.

[TheHazeGuy]

apple sucks

[ganuk]

hi, man, do u know if these features are common for all BB? I intend to buy a BB torch. With this video you definately win me for BB, Thanks!

[jonnythe360]

you sound a bit like steve jobs!

[glude35]

ur fucking dumb, those are stupidest reason to switch over. ur fucking lazy and thats the bottom line. fagg

[GameGuideSite]

Your reasons aren't really valid considering BB is an office / business phone so clearly it would be more e-mail friendly to use.

[MooseheadDrinker]

I love blackberries!

[MooseheadDrinker]

Focus!!!

[WaterMelnKidd]

Yeah true the battery last longs on the Blackberry, but you know why?

Because you'll never touch it. It's so god damn boring.

I can't believe you traded in mobile gaming and perfect multimedia for slightly faster e-mail address switching.

[1papain]

i love this video very much how you explained simple but important stuff, i'm new on blackberry i just baught one, i'm not even sure which is my pin or code, may i have you on my plattform for chat, if i'm not wrong my id mightbe239F6072 or 2615 FD37, i'm in europe, i have to learn how this functions to chat among people. I also prefere blackberry, it's more compact, light, battery last longer i think, tell me how to switch it in sleep modus to last longer, to save .. Thanks much for showing !

[hollywoodkiss07]

so basically, if you're more of a business person(lots of emails) then the blackberry is for you...iphones are more for teens and college students who dont care about most of the things(email and faster camera) you talk about.

[sheisbamz]

You can actually do most of this in an iPhone if you had study it.

Anyway your Blackberry is faster than iPhone 3g. Good choice

[shamrockfilms]

Thank you.

[b3am3s3y]

the newer iphones can zoom in when your taking pictures its just a pain in the ass to do soo

[luiskillcallofduty]

Sir Black Berry is for business an iphone is for teens and college students thats why you love ur phone so much and that is why every teen has a iphone on youtube

[pandafannabel]

@luiskillcallofduty nice

[Manmeetthebadboy]

search can be available in a 20$ phone in india(or even less)

[xXxXAssassin]

u get a big one for emails

[mexachihuas]

it seems that ur only concern is about e-mails...

[123samchung]

you can go to the top of the page on iphone click the bar at the top . iPhones win face it !!!
