Which one do you prefer?
I like the iPhone more but I use more my blackberry because almost everyone I know has one so it's easier to text through blackberry messenger.

BudderMC · 29th Dec 2011, 09:32 PM

Blackberry! I would use BBM more if I knew more people who actually used it (half of my household has Blackberries but we all just text anyway <_<).

The typing is infinitely easier IMO on a Blackberry. So I use that for my "phone".

Then I've got a iTouch for my "entertainment", so I can use it for music/apps/videos and not worry about draining the battery on it.

iPhone without a doubt. It does almost everything for me just by using Siri. It's awesome.

kellymporta · 29th Dec 2011, 09:52 PM

Here in my country BB is very popular because of the messenger feature. I think iPhone is better than BB because of the applications it offers. Personally, I have an Android phone because I prefer Android over iOS.

Countervail · 30th Dec 2011, 04:13 AM

I have BB , and it needs some serious repairing(trackball won't go down and screen is so bright). -.-"
Even though Iphone has cool apps I still prefer BB .

Hexagon · 30th Dec 2011, 05:40 AM

iPhone! Siri is awesome.

JoshB · 30th Dec 2011, 06:58 AM

iPhone! I have used Blackberry, as well as several Android phones before, nothing better than iOS running your phone.

Rabioso · 31st Dec 2011, 09:46 AM

Blackberry definitely... my blackberry means so much to me really hahah and I live in Egypt and almost everyone here has Blackberries.

thecat06 · 31st Dec 2011, 10:10 AM

I have an Iphone 4 and I love it. I have not had any problems with it at all.

Gravity · 31st Dec 2011, 11:36 AM

I'm stuck with a blackberry cause I love having the keyboard instead of a touchscreen - that's literally as far as it goes.

I do think iphones are easier to use and generally have better data connections though.

Trailblazer · 31st Dec 2011, 11:57 AM

Blackberry for sure, because I'm used to it. The torch 9800 killed blackberry for me though, it was such a disappointment spec wise and ran like garbage. I have an android phone now though which is nice.

Revan · 31st Dec 2011, 02:05 PM

Kinda want the iPhone 4S for the Siri thing

dl72 · 31st Dec 2011, 04:17 PM

iPhone. Not a fan of Blackberry. I know people who have had problems with it.

xblacklightsx · 31st Dec 2011, 05:01 PM

I prefer my Blackberry for its keyboard. I had a touch phone in the past and it just did not work out very well so touch phones that only use a touch screen as their keyboard are totally out of the question for me.

Doctor Faustus · 31st Dec 2011, 08:00 PM

HTC. Solves all the trouble of vacillating between the two.

Although I'm super jealous of my cousin's iPhone...

itzjoe · 31st Dec 2011, 09:51 PM

blackberry! I don't like iphones because I don't like apple because I owe them money for my itunes bills...

**Eric** · 31st Dec 2011, 09:56 PM

I despise all things Apple. I've even considered hating Granny Smith, but I just couldn't do that to the lady.

That being said, Blackberry's seriously struggling to find a market because everyone's using the much better smartphones. I was a bystander in an argument between some people who were arguing about which product was better, and one girl maintained that Blackberry was better because it was cheaper than the iPhone, and it had BBM.

That seems to be the only things that RIM has going for them. Even though I'm an Apple hater (mostly because I don't have many Apple products

), the iPhone is the better phone. Although I'd get an Android phone if I were in the market for something better than what I have now.

Hah, I was all prepared to walk in triumphantly and say "You're in luck, there's this awesome thing called Android that has all of the good from both with none of the suck!" but then you went and said it yourself

.

But seriously, Android, people. It's the fuuutuuuuurre...

Revan · 1st Jan 2012, 09:01 PM

When it comes to prices I suppose it is more pricey but still better functioning. Honestly I only use my phone for BBM and phone calls...ok and e-mail. But the latter two I could get easily on and iPhone or Android I believe. My Blackberry torch drops calls so freaking often it's pissing me the fuck off.

starfish · 2nd Jan 2012, 12:02 PM

RIM missed the ball on modernizing their platform and independent app developers. The big issue they took too long to increase the hardware specs on the phone.

I had a Blackberry for a couple of years. I really liked it, but the browser sucked and app selection was too small. I really liked email on it. I switched to android and it is better in every way, except for the email client. In my opinion the email client on Blackberry is the best for mobile email.

I never did use BBM so I can't speak to it.
