Pros Of The iPhone • Multitasking, allowing key processes for certain apps to run in the background while resources can be directed to apps in the foreground. • Apple has created Folders as a way to organize apps that correspond to their respective App Store categories, or whatever the user wants them to be. • Enhanced Mail- a unified inbox that can handle multiple accounts, as well as threaded messages and attachments for third-party apps. • Enterprise – Deploying multiple iPhones over a business network is made easier and with security as a focus. • The iPhone has FaceTime.
Cons of The iPhone • Older models simply don’t support new features. • No Flash. – Apple has made it clear that there will not be flash anytime soon. • iTunes treats free application downloads like a purchase. • Syncing your iPhone between your phone and the computer sometimes is not always accurate. • Jail breaking your iPhone you have to be aware of is that it will void the warranty on your phone. • Using apps or safari drains your battery. • You have to be in an area with free wifi in order to access things on safari.
Pros Of The Blackberry • From a business perspective, BlackBerrys have dominated the corporate world for the past decade. • Blackberry’s have BBM (Blackberry Messenger) • You can access your existing email accounts, Facebook, or just surf the net wirelessly. • You can view email attachments such as PDFs, documents, and images. • The BlackBerry operates on a number of global networks, as well wireless local area networks • You can install Mac or PC friendly applications on your BlackBerry, to facilitate sharing information and projects between your computer and your wireless device.
Cons Of A Blackberry • BBM (Blackberry Messenger) often has complications. • The track pad or ball (depending on the model you have) tends to stick, or freeze. • If your password is entered more than 10 times, your phone will wipe itself meaning everything on your phone (every contact, picture, video etc…) will be gone. • You are unable to turn some sound features off (ex. Camera “snap” sound)
What Would I Choose? • After comparing the two phones, I would choose the Blackberry. I currently own one and it is the better device I think. It allows you to have internet access wherever, whenever. A good function about the iPhone is that it allows you to download apps, but so does the Blackberry.
