Ron Pollack’s Phone Debate
I was having a conversation with my wife, Mimi, the other day about technology. With iPhone vs. Blackberry becoming a large topic of conversation I decided I would chime in. I realized that a lot of men are Blackberry users, and a lot of women like the iPhone (although I have plenty of guy friends who also use the iPhone). My wife agrees with me. The iPhone seems to be very easy to use, is more fun and seems to be more in keeping with a woman’s every day running around.
Hands down, I like my Blackberry. For business my Blackberry provides me with in depth features for e-mail and online traffic. My wife prefers the touch screen on her iPhone whereas I prefer the real keys on my blackberry. I also feel the operating system does what it is supposed to do on my Blackberry and I know a few tricks to get maximum usability out of it. The operating system of the iPhone is said to be the most technologically advanced, out of any other mobile operating system in the world.
I guess that is why my wife says it is more user friendly for her. Comparatively the phones are not much different then each other. The Bold is the best BlackBerry up until now, and it is fine for business use, but it’s not perfect. The iPhone’s problems have mostly been taken care of and tends to be a consumer device.
It all comes down to what you like and what you really want in a phone. My Ron Pollack blogs contain a wealth of information you’ll find useful.
