Thread: The Truth About The Iphone

I Stumbled across this article where a Long Time Blackberry user gave up his blackberry for an Iphone 3gs read what he has to say about it HERE

Thanks, but no thanks!

That pretty much sums it up. iPhone is a great consumer multimedia device the Blackberry is more geared to the business professional.

Come on Fish I was considering getting this for your birthday :laugh2:

I would still like to have one for a month to experience.

I definitely hate the iPhone's touchscreen experience. Many devices have better touchscreens.

iPhone 3GS means "Generally Sucks"

Everyone around me seems to have the iphone. I wouldn't want it....blackberry is geared more towards the professional and that's what I see myself as. That's why most large companies in southern california (south bay specific) prefer the blackberry over the iphone.

No doubt about it. However, that being said I was in NYC recently at a meeting with one of the top 5 law firms in the country and all their lawyers had iPhones. When I asked them about it they said their company only supports iPhones and not BB's anymore. I then pulled out my Tour and they all drooled LOL

I think what they were drooling at was the physical keyboard. Being a past iPhone user, I could never type more than three words on that keyboard. I can't imagine being a lawyer and being forced to type a 5 page document sitting in an airport.

I have to say, compared to the typing on the Storm I prefer the iPhone. But then again, i think it's pretty much anything other than the storm. The Click screen def. hurts my fingers. I was using the web on iPod Touch and I loved the way the sites would b displayed. To me it felt like I was on a really small computer as apposed to other phones where it feels like i'm using a phone to view the web pages. As far as getting an iPhone, I would think about getting one if it came on Verizon. But if ever there comes a time when a phone comes out that has the a mix of the best from RIM and the best from iPhone... that would b a phone i get, no q'stions about it.

As far as the article that's posted in this thread, it's good to see from the eyes of someone who isn't even familiar with a touch phone but at the same time I feel the review could have been better had he gone from the Storm to the iPhone, since they're both a touch screen. For example, u can't tell if he's not getting used to the typing because he's not used to a touch screen phone or because it's the iPhone, simple things like that. But over all it was a good insight to see someoen from BB go to iPhone
