Blackberry v Iphone

[dizzydixies]

come and convince me please people I don't have a clue either way and happy to take advice on it

Well, my dp has an iphone and the dcs call it "daddy's brain" and reckon he'll become catatonic if it breaks down!

my sis has just bought a blackberry and LOVES it,she gets all her aol email through it as well as her normal texts and she finds it really handy

According to DH who works with mobile phones they both have software problems and he would get niether. Though he does say the Blackberry has more problems than the iPhone.

And he may just be making it up because my contract ends soon and I have my eye on the blackberry or iPhone.

my DH has an iphone and he adores it was swithering more towards a blackberry so he can't be a smart arse about it

SheSells - what does you DH recommend instead then?

I think it depends what you want it for? The blackberry is truly brilliant for email etc. iphone I think is better for internet browsing, cool functions, photos.

DH loves his music and gadgets etc where as I think I'm aiming more for MNing emails

Haven't tried the Blackberry but I adore my Iphone - I can easily pick up emails (ntlworld), use the internet (news, weather, surfing, ordering, MNing), hook it up in the car to play annoying kids' music, succumb to my Sudoku addiction, take photos, sync with Outlook etc etc etc etc

I couldn't be without it

I want an iphone... My brother has the blackberry and I think it isn't as lovely to use, nor can you add lots of applications like the cool ones you get on iphones, (but I could be wrong there) - which are I think slightly bad if you get addicted to things like sudoku ... my dh has an i-touch (he doesn't like mobiles and has one from his work) it is lovely.
